    Basically, thousands of Pakistani children will not recieve polio shots because the Pakistani Taliban believes it is a ploy similar to the one that bagged bin Ladin...
    Or they are protesting the CIA's drone campaigns, the media is befuddling me on this one.
    Yet Pakistan still is one of the few nations with endemic polio, the others being Nigeria and Afghanistan.

    Because everyone loved the Taliban up until this.
    And since when does the Taliban dictate medicine in Pakistan?
    And since when is the media considered a credible source?

    Oh look it's Karakoram back with his ridiculous bullshit. If you don't get your news from the media then where do you get your news? Did you fly over to Pakistan and analyze the situation yourself?

    Actually I did, in my pimped out drone with golden rockets.
    Which is a reason the Taliban is protesting the clinics.
