You seem to think that all eyes in the world are turned to American culture, one that has all the depth of a car saleman's showroom spin, but you are wrong.

An out-of-date, egocentric preacher to power, probably the first of America's religo-tainment, TV evangelists, would be of little interest to Muslims, at least to those few that have actually ever heard of him; probably about as much interest as Osama Bin Laden has been to your government other than a name-dropping excuse and opportunity o continue invading other people's countries.
It looks like your America's exhausted and overstretched, two front war is about to get a whole lot bigger. If you think this can be easily contained you are deluding yourself. Pakistan has nuclear arms, it shares a border with Iran, and should this situation escalate it can find new friends and support elsewhere; not the least being Russia.
Pakistan has cut off oil supplies to your troops in Afghanistan, which is currently experiencing drought and is about to go into famine. Soon, you'll be fighting desperately hungry people that already want you out, and then, winter is coming. Prepare to be bogged down, isolated, and under siege. It may not happen, but it's not altogether unlikely. -

On the other side if someone shots a cop and runs into your house, a good idea would be not to tell the cops to get out of your house. -

Could someone down there please explain to me who is in charge of foreign affairs or foreign policy or what ever you what to call it. Who ever is in charge must of missed the course on how to win friends and influence people. Most of the Americans that I have met have been proud and opinionated but have have had manners and common sense and know that when you go to the neighbours house you don't insult the person, you don't kick his dog and you don't slap his kids. You would think that with the American public knowing this that the people in charge of dealing with other countries would have a clue that the same ideas are used when dealing with nations. These people who are in charge seem to have issues regarding power and if not educated shortly will have the whole world hating you.

**** Cheney is in charge of foreign policy, as well as most of the rest of the government here. (Bush wasn't really interested in running anything, so he handed over the reins to his VP.)
Reply
Cheney really doesn't care about winning friends or influencing people. He lives in a paranoid, delusional fantasy where the U.S. can bully the rest of the world into submission, and where this bullying is the best way to achieve its ends. -

Well, Pakistan finally found out that the Bush's war on terror was really a "war profiteering scheme" at the expense of innocent muslim men, women and children. It this moron has the guts to order air strikes inside any country he thinks he wants to, he is sadly mistaken.

Now they know that Bush & his regime of crooks are the #1 terrorists in the world.
.......and John McCain and the Lipstick better understand.-

Pakistan always knew that that was the case. It had little choice but to careful tread a very fine line in order to not raise the ire of its anti-American populace while at the same time trying to not draw hostile attention from Washington. It was a tightrope act from which it is now falling in slow motion. There is no more sitting on the fence for Pakistan.

Pakistan has been harboring and supporting the Taliban & OBL right from the start, playing the US like Santana plays his guitar. Why do you think they would never allow us access to AQ Khan? Because he was just doing the job he was paid to do.

You make it sound as though Pakistan had a choice.
Reply
Musharaff was perfectly content to play tin pot dictator without having to play colonial butler and be on the beckoned whim and call of Bush and the American Empire. It is your country that arrived on Pakistan's doorstep making demands. It was a game of pretense and evasion that could invariably not be sustained, and it hasn't. But the phase it is about to enter is as much a threat to America as it is to Pakistan. Not to mention the rest of the world. -

he will never "catch" obl - if OBL is caught then the "war" is over. OBL is a huge scapegoat and losing him would mean less excuses to invade and or bomb.
Reply
Why do you think shrub let OBL get away when we had him trapped like a rat in the mountains? we had him surrounded and we KNEW he was in there. instead we packed up and invaded iraq.

Wether or not Pakistans people like us is not our problem. That country has aided and abbeted terrorism for the last 20 years. The people should realize that once you are part of a country- you are the country. We should of bombed Pakistan 7 years ago...we knew , and they knew that Binh Laden was there. If they never gave him to us after all this time...they must be supporting him. Figure it out. Screw them...give us Binh laden or wind up like Iraq. I dont think Israel would put up with that BS for 7 years like we did.

This is the whole problem with the mindset of America. It is a big deal who likes us and who does not. The fact that no one likes us and we don't care is one of the reasons Al Queada is growing the way it is.
Reply
The other thing about your statement is unlike Iraq, Pakistan already has nuclear weapons. Marching into Pakistan would quite likely set off WW3 and this time we wouldn't be the only ones using nukes. -

If this war were only about "terrorism" then it would be reasonable that we should have attacked them long ago. The mere fact that he has waited until now to deal with "terrorists" in Pakistan, should tell you alot. However, it has apparently not.

How about the Saudi's. Should we have bombed them? If not, why not. How about the Russians? They do business with Iran. Should we have bombed them? If not, why not? How about Syria? How about N. Korea? And hey, what about all those radicals in Africa. You know the terrorists train there, right? How about we bomb Africa? -

Pmshipilov, i hate to burst in on your fantasy, but the US has been supporting terrorists in other countries for many years now, they even trained some. Personally, i think you would go a long way in the war on terrorism if you just bombed yourself first.

American soldiers entered Pakistan without permission and killed Pakistani civilians.
Reply
This response is just,and exactly what the US deserves. If Pakistani soldiers entered the US and killed civilians we'd call it "terrorism". So who exactly is the terrorist now? -

On September 24, Barack Obama--the Democratic candidate for U.S. Senate from Illinois, and a shoo-in favorite--suggested "surgical missile strikes" on Iran may become necessary. "[L]aunching some missile strikes into Iran is not the optimal position for us to be in" given the ongoing war in Iraq, Obama told the Chicago Tribune.
"On the other hand, having a radical Muslim theocracy in possession of nuclear weapons is worse," he said. Obama went on to argue that military strikes on Pakistan should not be ruled out if "violent Islamic extremists" were to "take over."

Now another challenge for Lipstick. To invade Pakistan or not invade Pakistan. Either way, Pakistan has ordered its forces to shoot at sight any American invader on its soil.

Who will argue that it is not legal.
These Republican rednecks better know that they cannot march in to any country and start killing their people. -

I agree with Nikki to an extent.

If strikes on our troops in Afganistan come from Pakistan, and there is no mistake about it, we should pursue the invaders and kill them where we find them. Attacks originating from Pakistan or any other country can NOT be tolerated. PERIOD. We have to establish security.
Or, we could try to chat with them over some tea or something.........
And this is not to say that we shouldn't have words with Pakistan concerning protecting our troops or even 'pushing' Pakistan to committ to a BIG move on terrorist targets. But, in any event, we can't tolerate strikes in Afganistan out of Pakistan. I beleive Pakistan's statement is more 'positioning' themselves for talks with the US. -

Come on, some of you just dont get it, innocent civilian casualties? Theyre either living or meeting in your house and youre innocent? Even the mafia keeps their people out of the family home and family off limits. I just wonder how much of this is b.s. is for public consumption in Pakistan. Except for a few rogue elements, theyre probably just as glad to get rid of the extremists before they consume Pakistan. I cant believe some of you are now bringing Palin into this issue, this is a very serious survivable issue not some political football. These just want to ouright Kill you not hold hands, hug and discuss differences. It is obvious most you have never been in other countries, sorry talking with Jaheed at the store, vacationing or reading some book IS NOT exposure to other cultures. The real danger is most of you are living in some disney world and dont have a clue.

Actually your choice of the words 'Disney World' suggests that you have been in the cradle-to-grave totalitarian propaganda bubble to which americans are subjected for far too long.

As for Palin, let us hope that the media finally does a proper exposure of the lies, corruption, support of domestic terrorists and heresy (according to the Assemblies of God) of this 'theocracy whacko'. While they are at it, the media whoudl also expose those behind Palin.
The Palin-Whatshisname Ticket
McCain stands revealed as a guy who can be easily rolled by anyone who sells him a plan for “victory,” whether in Iraq or in Michigan. A McCain victory on Election Day will usher in a Palin presidency, with McCain serving as a transitional front man, an even weaker Bush to her Cheney.
The ambitious Palin and the ruthless forces she represents know it, too. You can almost see them smacking their lips in anticipation, whether they’re wearing lipstick or not.
