US troops crossed border to make a raid inside Pakistan

REUTERS , WASHINGTON
Friday, May 07, 2004,Page 5

US troops crossed into Pakistani territory from Afghanistan in recent days despite Pakistan expressly prohibiting such actions, but the Pentagon said on Wednesday the incursion was inadvertent.

In Islamabad, a Pakistani Foreign Ministry official said his government had protested to the US a May 2 incursion by US troops into Pakistani territory to hunt suspected al-Qaeda or Taliban militants.

"I can confirm the incident did occur recently," said a US defense official in Washington, speaking on condition of anonymity.

2. I prohibit wild animals in my house at night

However...I leave the cats in charge when I'm sleeping and they decide if the sneeking critters that slither and crawl through the night are just the right size or not worth a bite.

4. Why don't they take the one that Bush Sr. was snacking with during the

9/11 attack? He should be easier to get a hold of!
