Meanwhile, in the Oh Crap Department:

Pakistan expects Swat exodus as deal crumbles
Government says up to 500,000 will flee fighting in Taliban stronghold

From the article:

Taliban spokesman Muslim Khan said the militants were in control of “90 percent” of the valley and said their actions were in response to army violations of the peace deal such as attacking insurgents and boosting troop numbers in the region. He accused the government of acting under pressure from the U.S.

“Everything will be OK once our rulers stop bowing before America,” he told The Associated Press by cell phone.

Oh yeah, Khan. We’ve seen just how “OK” things are when you bastards are in charge.

They aren’t just fleeing the fighting, but the Taliban’s Sharia law as well.
