There is going to be a big war in Asia. It will encompass India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq, the Gulf States, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Lebanon, Israel, and possibly, Somolia. The longer it takes to start, the better the chances that it will go nuclear. It will be horrific, millions may die, but it will be a chance to settle things down in that area for some time.
That’s NO THREAT, if you’re ready for action. If Pakistani troups leave the area where Al Quaida is, US troups move in!
