Pardon me, but does anyone REMEMBER A THING CALLED THE "BUSH DOCTINE"??? Any questions?

"For identifying and neutralising the hitherto undetected sleeper cells in US territory, the US intelligence agencies must have the freedom to do a random checking of all telecommunications, including through the Internet, between the US and the rest of the world, particularly Pakistan and Afghanistan. The ill-advised critics of President Bush, by making it difficult for the President to order and for the agencies to carry out such random monitoring of communications, would play into the hands of Al Qaeda and the IIF and unwittingly facilitate the execution of the diabolical plans of Al Qaeda."

Unfortunately Democrats are too busy trying to get back in the White House, to pay attention to national security.

It's a balance. Musharref has been generally helpful, but he can't do too much without getting himself killed.

We don't need a war with Pakistan if we can help it. We still have Iran and Syria to deal with.

Naturally India has its own interests. On the other hand, if Indira Gandhi hadn't decided to ally India with the Soviet Union and rally the third world against us, the U.S. never would have started backing Pakistan. India was originally our first choice.

Seems like our Indian friends don't want us getting too close with the Paki government.

Well, this is certainly illuminating. It's not our support of Israel, or our infidel troops in holy lands, our "filthy lifestyles", or our "oppression of Muslims" that is the problem, it's Clinton's firing off of a few cruise missiles that hit the wrong target. Of course he fired those well after the first attack on the WTC and other attacks, but let's not get picky. (sarc)

I'm glad this article is clearly marked "opinion" cuz it sure isn't news, despite a few unsourced claims about events at people at the site of the attack.
Raman does have one good line: "Bin Laden's warning should not be taken as an empty threat." Gee thanks, that was helpful.

Self serving Indian Nationlist ping.

This article is full of complete hyperbole BS - With bits of facts masked within - But on the whole it's premise is junk -

Stopping Pakistan's proliferation of nuclear weapons is more important than catching Osama.

We're stuck with Mushy.

Does anybody remember where the SPOD is for OEF?
