"'I wonder how Edwards got through to musharrat.'

They use the same hair stylist."

Senator Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania, Representative Patrick Kennedy of Rhode Island and the U.S. ambassador to Pakistan were in Pakistan getting ready to meet Musharraf for dinner. The connection was probably made through them.

“Yeah. W’s worried look alarms me about a coup, too.”

Haven’t even seen the President’s remarks but any serious person can not be comfortable with the unrest and divisions between Islamic fundamentalists and moderate forces attempting to build democratic institutions.

The army and the ISI (Pakistan intelligence service) is largely infiltrated by jihadist elements. They are one step from taking control of the whole country.

That’s why you see the President so concerned. As well he should be.

The only person who stands to benefit from this is Musharraf, AQ gains nothing. I hate to dignify that idiotic statement with a reply, but I'm compelled. IMPOTENT (sp), al Qaeda is NOT. Especially in Pakistan. Showing their lethality and reach in a country where they have a 48% approval rating, benefits them greatly, while HURTING the Mush, GREATLY!!!

Been fightin' this battle awhile.

While I agree with your sentiment, and share your anger and frustration, this will only cause more trouble.

See, we have had open borders for so long now that we are infested with these animals in our own country. If we were to attempt what you suggest, we would cause unknown destruction on our own soil.

We need to deal with these animals in our own country FIRST. Then we can get to your plan.

;)

How, interesting, now that I’ve seen this photo a few times, she is wearing the stars (at least the dress is that color of the blue of the flag) and stripes. At least that is the affect of the photo with the clothes folded as they are.

I should repaste the phto but everyone can go to your post.

“See, we have had open borders for so long now that we are infested with these animals in our own country.”

No kidding, and there are plans to import more of them from Iraq instead of keeping them there to fight for their country. Bhutto showed more balls than all of those ROPER refugees trying to get in.

Remembering that the assassination of the Afghan rebel leader preceded 9-11 by 2 days.

Which is why we should obliterate Waziristan tomorrow.

If shot after the blast, I wonder if that means an inside, security, assasination (obviously directed by Musharraf)??

Yes. Mussie obviously doesn't want competition.

You know, I've been wondering if she's really, truly, most sincerely dead too.

Probably a 95% chance she is, but you know these crazy muslims.

“Religion of Peace strikes again”

Islam is not the Religion of Peace but the Religion of Pieces because you and I will end up in several pieces.

Q. How many Muslims will it take to destroy America?
A. None, American Liberals/Democrats and Huckabee can do it all by themselves, thank you.

Yeah, I agree with most of your post.

Islam is an evil cult with the goal of world domination.

Suicide by cop? In this case suicide by rally. She should have known better. Something tells me she did.
