U.S. Officials Say Obama Administration Will Designate Haqqanis as Terrorists

WASHINGTON — The Obama administration has decided to blacklist as a terrorist organization the Haqqani network, the militant organization responsible for some of the deadliest attacks against American troops in Afghanistan, several American officials said late Thursday.

The decision, which is expected to be announced as early as Friday, culminates nearly two years of spirited debate inside the administration that reached a peak in the past month under the pressure of a Congressional reporting deadline this Sunday.

Several State Department and military officials argued that designating the organization would help strangle the group’s fund-raising activities in countries like Saudi Arabia and United Arab Emirates and pressure Pakistan to open a long-expected military offensive against the militants.

  On the Radio I heard that the Haqqanis reply is that they are going to make life hard on the US seargent they are holding.

  Isn't admitting that you are keeping an American Soldier hostage pretty much admitting that that you deserve to be called an enemy of the US , a terrorist even?

    This is overdue if anything.

     But I expect the Packistan government to object, they really can't decide who their friends are.

The Pakistani government is seriously divided.

They allowed the military to get too big and too powerful.

Seems as if it could be Halal if you chose the ingredients carefully.

I am on a lowfat diet , so I don't think I could have much.

Your prayers may have been answered. Prepared vegetarian haggis in a can!

No muss, no fuss, no sheep to gut.

Perhaps it is even low fat. Surely lower in fat than the homemade alternative.
