India hated Britain because of the colonial experience, and the Soviets anti-colonial rhetoric appealed to them. When Pakistan was partitioned out of India, they jumped at the United States’ offer of alliance. Of course, now that Islamism has creeped into the government, it’s not so much a good idea anymore.

A NATO jet and helicopters entered Pakistani airspace Tuesday starting an exchange of gunfire between coalition and Pakistani forces, Pakistani officials said.How dare Pakistan defend its sovereign airspace! I demand that Obama launch another trillion dollar undeclared war on a country with nuclear weapons and close military ties with China and Russia. That's what the Globalists want so it must be good for America.

Why the hell we ever embraced Pakistan over the far more civilized Indians will always elude me.

They have sided with America’s enemies in the war. You taunt the bull, you get the horns.

Call me a skeptic. No report of anyone hurt. Phony setup to sell to the the Paki Sheeple that they mean business about their sovereignty in light of the UBL fiasco.

Having dangerous enemies can result in the selection of odd bedfellows.
No kidding. There was a time we considered Saddam Hussein and Osama Bin Laden our allies.

Sure. Especially when all you have to do is take credit for what other people do.

Relatively speaking, that could probably be true.
I’m thinking of two guys: “I hate your frikking guts, and if we get out of this alive, I am going to kick your butt...”
