The Pakistanis have been gearing up to put an end to US imperialism in Pakistan, Afghanistan and Central Asia. Frankly I think the suppression of "terrorists" in the area would be much more efficient if the Pakistanis would pull the plug (see below) and take on themselves the responsibility of seeing that international attacks are not generated from Afghanistan and Waziristan. As the Bush administration has amply demonstrated, otherwise national resistance to foreign, western powers (who are not particularly interested in the civilian population) leads to augmentation of "terrorist" groups by giving them nationalistic support.

This week, Obama claimed, again, that he'd promptly capture Osama bin Laden. OK, tell me how: Specifically, which concrete measures would he take that haven't been taken? How would he force our intelligence agencies to locate bin Laden? And he can't just respond, "That's classified."
He also claimed that fighting terrorism is a law-enforcement problem, not a military one (should we send the NYPD to Mosul and Kandahar?), and that the answer to terrorism is the approach taken after the 1993 World Trade Center attack, featuring conventional trials and prison terms.

And the buffoons in this country continue to vote for more of the same. I find it quite humorous when these people complain about taxes and then not complain about all the money being needlessly spent in Iraq. The National Debt went from $5 trillion to $10 trillion under Bush alone. It completely amazes me that these people can't see 2 feet in front of them. Maybe, they think they all can be like Donald Trump and file bankruptcy and still keep $billions as a result.

You mean that Pakistan is protecting the terrorists of the Taliban and al Qaeda who invade Afghanistan, attack positions there and then go back into Pakistan? This is a just thing to do?
You and the others that think that is an acceptable solution are very foolish. If Pakistan can't keep those people inside their own border then things like this will happen. Why is it OK for those terrorists to cross the border and kill mostly innocent Muslims? -

Here are some important facts you should consider other than your myopic partisanship.

In response to America's uninvited attacks on Pakistan's sovereign territory, Pakistan has already cut off oil supplies to imperial troops in Afghanistan. This will weaken and isolate American efforts in Afghanistan.
Afghanistan is in drought and that means famine is looming. People are more likely to take up arms against US troops, not because of ideology, but because of a shortage of the basic necessities of life.
Winter is coming. Winter destroyed Russia in Afghanistan, you wouldn't want history to repeat itself.
Pakistan is nuclear armed. In addition, it shares a very large border with Iran. Alienate Pakistan and neighbours will become very close friends.
Attempt to sanction Pakistan or withhold what has already been offered and Russia will step in to fill the void. America has renewed hostilities with Russia over Georgia and missiles in Poland. Russia is strengthening ties with the likes of Iran, Syria and now Venezuela.
As you can see, there is much you should be thinking about beyond what Obama thinks, or what McCain thinks, or what Bush thinks. The question is, now that reality trumps partisanship as it always has done, what do you think? -

Obama has also said he'd send our troops into Pakistan, although he'll withdraw rapidly from Iraq. His unwillingness to discuss the consequences of a hasty retreat from Baghdad is one thing - but invading Pakistan would be an order of magnitude worse. -

Not everybody knows; fewer than half the people do. Why is it happening? Greed. Who is gaining? Those who manufacture weapons, those who manipulate oil prices and speculate in oil, those who can take away what others have.

I'm still hopeful that this is only the beginning of the end of the American Empire, not the world, and not the possibility for a peaceful coexistence. -

People know it on some level. Of course, half the people are below average in intelligence, by definition, so there is that.

It's a machine that took on a life of its own. First Bin Laden, then Afghanistan, and then the Iraq side-track. And many stand to gain from it.
Whoever has Bin Laden hidden away has a lot to gain as well, I suspect. It's about power and wealth (as it always is).
But there are plenty of bloodthirsty dictators, kings, and other heads of state worldwide, so don't think the end of Bush's tenure will end the world's problems. It's like whack-a-mole, and no country is immune. -

Of course nikkibabe. We send suicide bombers all over the place. We attacked the Twin Towers and faked it to look like it was Muslim terrorists. We are in the Palestinian groups supplying the rockets and weapons for them to use. We are blowing up and killing people everywhere we go. We are coming for Sweden next.

From a leading English-language newspaper in Pakistan:
Reply
"There is an escalating sense of furious impotence among the ordinary people of Pakistan. Many -- perhaps most -- of them are strongly opposed to the spread of Talibanisation and extremist influence across the country; people who may be described as 'moderates'. Many of them have no sympathy for the mullahs and their burning of girls' schools and their medieval mindset. But if you bomb a moderate sensibility often enough it has a tendency to lose its sense of objectivity and to feel driven in the direction of extremism. If America bombs moderate sensibilities often enough you may find that its actions are the best recruiting sergeant that the extremists ever had -- and the extremists will be quietly delighted at the civilian deaths as they know that more feet will turn to the path that leads to their door."

Great! Now if we can just go with that blue state secession idea and kick the US out of HERE, then the phony war on terror would finally be over.

It has been clear for some time that the bush administration failed in afghanistan. The only questions left are how many more people they will kill before leaving office and whether they will persist with starting further wars all around the world (Georgia, Iran) before leaving office in an attmept to preempt our next president.
