Sounds like a extra large sized can of Whoop-azz has just gotten opened on the AQ.

Cliff notes: Maybe 300k homeless; government troops moving in large numbers with large weapons; Airpower and artillery being used heavily; Striking hard and fast at the bad guys. Fighting at "unprecedented" levels in this region.

Money Quotes:

Mr Gilani declared the Government was determined to re-establish control in the tribal areas bordering Afghanistan. “We will establish the writ of the Government at all costs (as) a parallel government cannot be tolerated,†he said.

Fierce fighting is also under way in areas of the NWFP where many of Pakistan’s nuclear weapons are believed to be based.

Read for yourself.

Hell Yeah! Finally Pakistan does something I'm okay with.

But I hope like hell they don't get Obama before we do...er, Osama. They better not make us look like idiots for not finding him. If they do, I'm sure it's all a set up.

Good friend who is in Afg. now has a friend at that other base that was under attack. He said they effectively "wiped out" all the bad guys

That is great to hear. He was pissed that he wasn't getting any action
