Just what we need with a neophyte, clueless rookie about to become president. Fallout shelters might be a good idea again!

The enemy isn’t Pakistan. The enemy is islam.

Kill islam at that black stone it calls its heart.

It seems that Obama’s test came a tad early.....Hope the boy grows a set soon....it’s gonna be a bumpy ride.

If the Nov. 26 attacks in Mumbai were carried out by Islamist militants as it appears, the Indian government will have little choice, politically speaking, but to blame them on Pakistan.

What a stupid all-encompassing statement. Typical of the lame-stream press. It is like saying the U.S. has to blame Suadi Arabia for the 9/11 attacks because the terrorists who committed the act were Saudis. But, of course, they never did - that would have been "provacative".

not to worry, the kid’s got ma clinton on the job!

ROP tally= 12,313 bodies since 911.

[LeoWindhorse]

India should publicly execute all the terrorists it captures
and deny their bodies to the relatives . Let it be known that
the bodies are dumped to the sharks in the Indian Ocean .
Then send operatives into Pakistan to kill anyone that they can associate with the attacks , Mossad style. As many worldwide extra judicial eliminations of islamist radicals as as they can pull off should be their answer.The terrs need to me made more fearful of the consequences of their actions than they are of death itself. There has to be a way.

[2ndDivisionVet]

Better yet: Bury the terrorists inside a pig carcass, covered in lard, with bacon stuffed in every orifice.

The relationship between India and Pakistan is not remotely similar to the relationship between the USA and Saudi Arabia.

Stratfor is not the msm, however, you’re observation is correct in that they generalize quite a bit in order to get something out.

[Cicero]

I used to follow Stratfor fairly closely, but it seems to me that at some point they lost their touch.

Did I say or imply it was? I was referring to how the media reports things.

[sobieski]

I feel comfortable that the former First Lady is on the job. She must’ve had tea with some wives of these players.

But seriously, thank God Condoleezza Rice is still on the job.

[ajay_kumar]

If you look into the history of creation of Pakistan, you will find out it was formed by partitioning India when independence was won from British rule. The sole criteria for formation of Pakistan was religion of Islam. Areas which were predominantly muslim became Pakistan territory with the exception of Kashmir province whose king at the time chose to join with the new India. Pakistan has a national official religion, Islam. Pakistan and Islam are inseparable twins.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

We should just build a protective dome over Israel and turn the entire ME into a crater.

[null and void]

Yes. Destroy islam and tear the heart out of Pakistan, and so many other enemies of civilization.

[Falconspeed]

India is under enormous pressure to respond.

Many good suggestions about how to "respond" are kindly given here on this thread. Bravo, Freepers.

[PghBaldy]

India is not the US. They are not handcuffed by the stupidity of pc that we are in regards to their enemies.
