Al Qaeda is planning for the future. They have their eyes on Pakistan's nukes. I'm sure they have already infiltrated Pakistan's security establishment.
“Al Qaeda entrenched in Pakistan, U.S. officials say”
They are entrenched in the DC beltway too!!!

AQ has no major cities to bomb but I wouldn’t be against bombing villages that give them shelter.
I know this idea sounds crazy, and I haven’t considered the fallout problems, etc., but really, are we getting any closer to eliminating this cancer from our world using current, politically correct, methods?
I don’t think so. Everywhere I turned this morning, the news was about the threat of spectacular Al-Qaeda attacks in the United States expected this summer. Don’t even get me started on the fact that we allow thousands of jihadists to roam freely in our country plotting their mass murder! But they’re taking their orders from the big guys hiding out in those REMOTE areas of Pakistan. Let’s go in there and turn the entire place into an ocean of radioactive sand!
The way we’re going about this “War on Terror” is going to get us all killed!
The only way we’re going to win this thing is to annihilate the enemy, ALL of them, regardless of where they are hiding.
Do we need the Pak Gov't to do more? Yes (where they can). But cutting the funding they need to even be adequate at the jobs we need them to do....would serve no benefit to us (in the big picture)....Which the Dem's are calling for today.
The situation sucks. Plain and simple. Though the concept of saying to hell with it....come hell or high-water we're coming in to drag UBL and Zawahiri out is a mindset at times I could really agree with....(though even that doesn't mean we'd catch the SOB in any short time period). Understand Zarqawi survived in Iraq over 3 years while we had a 140,000 + U.S. soldiers on the ground there (and the support of the majority of the people).
We wouldn't have the support of 5% of the people in these border regions of Pak
Most people simply cannot comprehend the brutal terrain within this region. It has every kind of landscape from snow-capped Mtns to desert......Running sustained operations are a nightmare and even then, there are fewer units capable of doing so effectively. All the eyes in the sky modern-day bells and whistles are wonderful....but more often then not they are for d*ck in this part of the world.
HUMINT, HUMINT, HUMINT is the key......How we go about gathering that HUMINT is where there is honest room for debate.
In the world of modern warfare, is there really such a thing as a “Remote” location?
Yes.
BINGO!
The mass media's,
or whomever really controls such things,
decision/experiment to cease SHOWING the events from that fateful day to the American People has accomplished what seems to not only be the rewriting of American history but also pivotal in the shaping of Her current events and policy.
It’s even worse. It’s Saudi princes funding a good deal of them in Pakistan. Where do you think the tribal ‘leaders’ get the bribe money paid to the Pakistani INS to hlpe keep the military at bay? The USA is funding the Pakistani military whose job is to destroy Bin Laden and ilk and Saudi fund the ilk. If Bush really had balls he would meet with King Fahd and outright put an ultimatum to him. Tell him that any individual whether a royal prince or dirty peasant that funds Al Queda in Pakistan gets the death sentence. The funding would dry up overnight and then you could focus on the next sphincter of islamic society, Iran. Bush won’t do this, they have been ‘friends’ with the royal family for decades and this would be insensitive of him of course. If done, their would be pain at the pump as the their would be coups within the Saudi royal family. Lets all just ignore the short term pain and accept the ruination of the world as it will look ten years from now. It’s cowardice and selfishness. The ones at the top know they will survive and still live very comfortably while you and I fry.
The rumor is some of those battlefield nukes Bush requested in 2002 could be made available. Tiny fallout area too and you can blanket and area with them to get all the vaporization effects without pissing off the other countries or even major population areas of civilian areas in Pakistan. Although, then again most Pakistanis hate the USA and support the jihad at large...
I say if you aren’t going to use your might to it’s fullest, dismantle it. Either put up, or shut up.
And you know what they are saying about this new information, right? If we hadn’t gone to Iraq, we could have been focusing on this. I have heard it several times tonight.
