Just how far is Pakiland from the NORTH ATLANTIC? I gotta get a bigger map.
So it begins.
How long before Iranian missiles from Venezuela are raining down on the US Gulf Coast?
Personally I think those provinces belong to India, not the breakaway Pakistan, but when you're trying to resupply troops in an entirely different nation, it's not the time to argue it. We're dealing with Pakistan because we have to; it's the simplest logistical solution.
That said, the real problem with Afghanistan continues to be Pakistan. Were it not for Pakistan, there would likely have never been a Taliban in the first place and without their continuing support, the resistance couldn't not exist now. It makes the long term prospects for victory in Afghanistan (at least as defined in terms of the absence of the Taliban) as highly problematic. Our enemies there are no more isolated than were the Viet Cong; they're being supplied and supported from nations with whom we cannot grapple militarily.
BEcause we prefer muslims. We are either muslims ourselves, muslim sympathizers, or afraid of them. Muslim culture gave us the zero, so lets embrace it.
This is sooo typical and reminds me of when I was a kid in the 60s and couldn’t figure out why everybody, all the people in the country loved Israel, but the government was hostile toward them. (Then it was because they were socialist, now it’s because we’re kuffir.)
Times up, Pakistan. You’re done. You just don’t know it yet, but you soon will.
Going in without permission, right in the heart of their military complex, under their military’s noses, if you will, and shooting Bin Ladin dead and snatching his body was a national embarrassment to the Pakis so great that I can’t even think of an analogy. We MADE THEM OUR BITCH by doing that and they’re rightly pissed. It was an Act of War, a Violation of Their National Sovereignty. They would be within their rights to throw every damn American out of their country over it, and block our access to supply routes into the stan.
So, a little chest beating, a little gunfire is to be expected for a while. I’d be damn careful if I were a yank working around there.
BTTT
“What happened to ‘You are either with us, or you are with the terrorists’?”
We elected a terrorist buddy to be president.
Hmmm what happened to that Kinetic Libya humatitarian billion dollar debacle? Obama can and should be tried for treason, for racism, sacrificed on the altar of everything SANE, and impeached for being stuipid, and, and, and a commie-closet-muzzie-black-liberation-narcissistic-personality-trans-muttist-agenda. Okay, I need to work on some new dictionary words, I just can not find “ Pahkeestahn on the map. Please India kill these folks. Russia? Anyone?
“Call me a skeptic. No report of anyone hurt.”
And right after Kerry “I served in Vietnam” left, Hmmm.
And the OBL Op was just after Beohner’s visit. Hmmm.
And also, there are many that support us there... unfortunately there are too many that do not support us.
Oceania has always been at war with Eastasia.
Ask Momar Qadaffi
So now we have four hot wars, and one brewing to the south.
Students in military schools of the future will mock us.
FIFY
Now nobama is the war monger president. Perhaps unfortunately he is the feckless, incompetent, conflicted, poof of a war mongering president.
Hudna’s over. Thanks Strategy.
