QuoteAvalanche buries 130 Pakistani soldiers
By NBC News and news services

ISLAMABAD -- An avalanche buried about 130 Pakistani soldiers near the Siachen glacier on the border with India, officials told NBC News on Saturday. A rescue operation was under way.

The fate of the soldiers was unclear.

A military official confirmed to NBC News that "130 soldiers have been buried alive as a huge snow avalanche fell on them in Giyari Siachin. The rescue operation is continuing."

Earlier there were reports that 150 soldiers had been caught in the snow.

Thousands of Pakistani and Indian troops are based in the area, a security official told The Associated Press. The official said snow engulfed a battalion headquarters in Gayari district.

Siachen is on the northern tip of the divided Kashmir region claimed by both India and Pakistan.

No, I mean with Timmay.
He seems the same to me.

And Global Warming is just a natural state in planetary evolution, like ice ages.

Not good writers, but better ones.

I thought his Crimea pun was good.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

It is specifically not natural. It is anthropogenic - created by man.


BTW, does this mean you accept biological evolution?

Exceptional claims require exceptional evidence.
Prove it!!!

It's no so exceptional. Put a lot of CO2 in the atmosphere and you're going to get a greenhouse effect.
