I don't debate that Pakistan is our enemy. All I'm saying is, for a number of reasons, we won't go to war with Pakistan.

They're no different than the Iranians. The only way to tell them apart is that Pakistan is the one we pretend is our ally. There's no stomach to fight an emerging Iran, whereas Pakistan actually has nuclear weapons, Chinese patronage and the ability to choke and kill our mission in Afghanistan.

Are you suggesting that the American people are in any, way shape or form are ready for what a war with Pakistan would entail?

My feeling is that Pakistan will slip up while conducting another major terrorist attack against us (in a way they did not on 9/11), thereby forcing Uncle Sam's hand.

It would require such a provocation that we would actually hate them as much as we hated Japan.

September 16, 2001 was the day to declare war on Saudi Arabia and Pakistan.

Bush could have had the 80-division Army he needed had he asked Congress for it on that day.

We are immeasurably weaker now.
