General David Petraeus: we have two weeks to save Pakistan from Taliban!!!
Now that's one very cheerful thought!

And what exactly is the administration doing to address this?

    "They" are probably doing something. Indeed! The leftists insisted on knowing every detail concerning "what was being done" during the past administration but now we can rest assure that we are in good hands, but just don't ask what's going on. It would seem that Afghanistan is Obama's war and eventually we'll have to stop blaming Bush. Too bad, some want to blame Bush until they run against him again in 2012. I don't think the electorate is that stupid, but time will tell. "We needed more troops", where were we to get them? The left continually whined about extensions and longer tours. And when more troops did arrive, who complained? Who said we lost, and to send them home? And who is blaming Obama? No one. Another straw man argument!
    
    More to the point, there is a definite problem here, the potential for terrorists to get their hands on nuclear weapons is real is worthy of a meaningful discussion. We are in the here and now, hopefully, we will be able to stabilize the region.

      Well it seems as if one thing hasn't changed - remember the emergency supplemental spending bills to fund Iraq and Afghanistan the left was always complaining about under Bush?
      
      Seems that Obama asked Congress to give him $83.4 billion more to pay for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan last month
      
      Where is the left complaining about the funding not being in the budget?
      
      Of course $83.4 billion isn't enough for Congress. They want $94.2 billion in emergency funds

    You are exactly right 59.
    Add to that the illegal nuclear weapons and their disbursement from Pakistan to all and sundry..
    But more to the point - what is pc 25 going to DO about it?
    Is he spitting on his boots and polishing them?
    Working away with a can of brasso on his brass adornments - and I don't mean that nose-ring?
    Or sitting on his ass permiting his "mind" to foment irrelevant attempts to blame his President for all the ills of the planet?

        You're damn right about that. What's scary is that Obama seems to think that Pakistan's nukes are safe.

  I prefer he keeps it secret. You wouldn't want a newscaster broadcasting a SWAT leader telling his team where to enter live. I would rather hear it like the pirate rescue. He let the experts do their thing and after it is done they announce it.

    Did Congress approve a military action in Pakistan? If not then Obama is engaged in an illegal war right? I mean he Is bombing villages in Pakistan.

      it would seem you're suggesting he do nothing.. and yet chastising him for not doing enough.. damned if he does.. damned if he doesn't..
      
      which side of the fence are you going to stand on.. you cannot realistically take both sides...

        I've yet to say what I think he should or should not do. I just pointed out a fact. Having said that, just answer the question.
