Pakistanis pose the #1 terrorist threat to America right now.Behind the scenes, homeland security officials are wringing their hands over intelligence indicating al-Qaida is preparing to attack major American cities, including Washington, using Pakistani nationals and possibly Pakistani-Americans.

Mind you..this article was written in the first week of May...2 months before the London blasts. And surprise , surprise...where did the London suicide bombers come from ?

And the only thing the Democrats want to do is sink the president, to hell with the safety of this nation.

Well, duh! It's not like we haven't been trying to warn them for about four years. Nice people, those Muslims. /S

London was just bombed by folks who were essentially clean. That's why we'll eventually get hit again. Too trusting.

Pakistan was a terrible idea in 1948, and it has not improved with time.

The author is wrong that we are not pressuring West India, I'm sure we are.

But after 9/11, a strategic decision was made not to create an army sufficient to conquer and occupy Arabia and SW Asia, and now we are stuck with the result of that decision.

The more I think about this, extremely close ties with India look like a better deal to me.

India is a strategic location, and the population is fairly literate (From the CIA Factbook-59% age 15 or over can read and write) and are only 13% muslim. They are entepreneurial, have a generally positive impression of the USA, and there are a LOT of Indians living here.

My impression of Indians is they are polite, tolerant and and have a good sense of humor.

With China on one border and Pakistan on the other, we would be wise to be sleeping with India.

Everyone I met in college in Okla. 1960-1973 from Paskistan, India, etc. MOVED OUT OF THERE and they all moved to USA or Australia. They were GOOD people and got the puck out of there. Now I see why.

oops 1969-73

You are EXACTLY right to have posted this. I've been posting comments alluding to this and have been flamed. Pakistan is NEXT. We're idiots.

[MeneMeneTekelUpharsin]

You are exactly right! I've posted comments to this effect and have been flamed. Post on...

[ImpotentRage]

While I agree with you on the Demos wanting to sink the president, it is the PRESIDENT who has ignored the open borders. IMO this is folly of the first order. What, if anything, is Bush thinking by allowing the borders to stay open when OTM's are using it? A three-year old would know if you don't want someone to come in you CLOSE THE DOOR.

Osama bin Laden, who has long sought a nuclear weapon or radioactive materials to make a so-called dirty bomb, recently secured from a Saudi cleric a religious ruling giving him the green light to use nuclear weapons against Americans.

The moment this happens....we go ROMAN. And god help the world when we do.

[gulfcoast6]

I agree on the border issue, what I am talking about is the general sinking of him. IF congress does NOTHING about the border they can look to be replaced by someone who promises they will do something.

Pakistanis pose the #1 terrorist threat to America right now.

That's a bit of an exaggeration.

Then you need to ask the moderators to put the correct date on this article. Hit the "abuse" button and ask 'em.

[Coop]

it is the PRESIDENT who has ignored the open borders.

That's false, as has been shown time and time and time again, but of course it doesn't stop plenty of folks around here from pretending it's true.

Very interesting - thanks for the ping.
