2008-09-18

Insane invasion
When you let Bush decide...
2008-09-18

Editorial - Barely enough time has elapsed since the recent election for the name plaques in government offices to have been changed and the new Pakistani government is already facing a major crisis courtesy of the United States.

Since the beginning of September, the U.S. has launched a number of military operations into Pakistani territory, including an unprecedented incursion of foot soldiers, without the consent of the Pakistani government. The majority of the missions have been missile attacks fired from U.S. drone planes. These have caused a great deal of controversy as there reportedly have been a number of civilians killed. The land operation, too, has elevated tensions. Apparently, the American troops were in the process of crossing the border when they were repelled by Pakistani military personnel firing their weapons into the air. Since then, Pakistani officials have ordered soldiers to fire on Americans if they try to cross the border.

2008-09-18

Football - The University of Calgary Dinos football squad kicked their Kickoff losing habit Saturday as they defeated the University of Alberta Golden Bears 17-11 in front of 3,108 fans at McMahon Stadium. The strong turnout witnessed an uneventful turnover- and penalty-filled game. Both teams combined for 14 turnovers and 206 yards in penalties. Despite the mistakes, the Dinos managed to move into a four-way tie for first place in the Canada West standings.

Although the game was less-than-pretty and included several miscues by the sloppy offence, Dinos head coach Blake Nill explained that a win is a win, despite how they played.
