Since taliban (probably) don't have helicpoters, and since they're saying it was not "ours", so must be a complicated situation #abbottabad

The abbottabad helicopter/UFO was shot down near the Bilal Town area, and there's report of a flash. People saying it could be a drone.

@wqs figures, if they have the right to shoot planes flying over the president house, the must have the same instructions for PMA

@smedica people are saying it was not a technical fault and it was shot down. I heard it CIRCLE 3-4 times above, sounded purposeful.

@tahirakram very likely - but it was too noisy to be a spy craft, or, a very poor spy craft it was.

@smedica It must have been more, I started noticing the helicpoter when the noise got irritating - which part of Abbottabd are you in?

)Karzai Told to Dump U.S.
Pakistan Urges Afghanistan to Ally With Islamabad, Beijing
By MATTHEW ROSENBERG
Pakistan is lobbying Afghanistan's president against building a long-term strategic partnership with the U.S., urging him instead to look to Pakistan—and its Chinese ally—for help in striking a peace deal with the Taliban and rebuilding the economy, Afghan officials say.
The pitch was made at an April 16 meeting in Kabul by Pakistani Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani, who bluntly told Afghan President Hamid Karzai that the Americans had failed them both, according to Afghans familiar with the meeting. Mr. Karzai should forget about allowing a long-term U.S. military presence in his country, Mr. Gilani said, according to the Afghans. Pakistan's bid to cut the U.S. out of Afghanistan's future is the clearest sign to date that, as the nearly 10-year war's endgame begins, tensions between Washington and Islamabad threaten to scuttle America's prospects of ending the conflict on its own terms.
Is Pakistan trying to push the U.S. out of Afghanistan?
With the bulk of U.S.-led coalition troops slated to withdraw from Afghanistan by the end of 2014, the country's neighbors, including Pakistan, Iran, India and Russia, are beginning to jockey for influence, positioning themselves for Afghanistan's post-American era.
Pakistani officials say they no longer have an incentive to follow the American lead in their own backyard. "Pakistan is sole guarantor of its own interest," said a senior Pakistani official. "We're not looking for anyone else to protect us, especially the U.S. If they're leaving, they're leaving and they should go."
Mr. Karzai is wavering on Pakistan's overtures, according to Afghans familiar with his thinking, with pro- and anti-American factions at the presidential palace trying to sway him to their sides.

It's so often the games THEY play with language - semantic mutilating lords of distortion that THEY are - that earworm me in the worst way. The repeating of them, unquestioningly, like mantras for conjuring demons, has also struck me and caused me to strive for more perspicacious usage. Failing that I lean towards blunt. In addition to the obscene misnomer of "ground zero" I've always found the transmogrification of the date 9/11 into some kind of magic sound button something to actively resist. When referring to the events of that particular day, phrases like "when planes crashed into buildings" are much preferred to the far too spellbinding "on 9/11" ...

This was a bit creepy to hear, with its jumbled, gory mix of both literal and figurative: "We offered our neighbors a hand, and we offered the wounded our blood." How long will it take for Osama's severed foot to wash ashore on the West Coast?
MODS: page 11 needs tweaking, there's a line too long somewhere that is making the page too wide. Thx.

As for the avatar, I've always been a fan of absurdist comedy, and Bruce and the TKITH are sort of the kings of that sub-sub-sub genre.
And just as soon as the world government arrives, I plan to vote for Cabbage-head Bruce early and often for World Dictator.

Ansem, Seeker of Darkness serves as the main antagonist of Kingdom Hearts and the "Reverse/Rebirth" story in Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories. He is the Heartless of Xehanort, retaining the dark "guardian" which belonged to his original self. Ansem appears to have characteristics of both Emblem and Pureblood Heartless, and it is unclear exactly which category he falls under.
