Well, then work on your reading comprehension. pumacan said this implicates the Pakistani government.
There does seem to be a Pakistani connection (and no, no FReeper likely can PROVE it, all we can do is speculate with the evidence we have - such as it is).
We have no evidence, other than the fact that a letter was mailed in Pakistan.
And yes, I'm going to continue to feel free to speculate on FR about the connection I see, and that is that Pakistanis living in the U.S., particularly in Trenton/Hamilton NJ, are strongly implicated in the anthrax mailings.
Well, Egyptians were involved in the WTC attacks - so is Mubarak somehow implicated by that fact?
Weak logic is not what we need at the moment, and it isn't being PC to point out such.
1. The Pakistanis created and propped up the Taliban government in Afghanistan.
2. Along with the monstrous dictatorship in Myanmar, Pakistan is China's strongest ally in South Asia, and one of China's best allies worldwide. There are clear indications that China provided Pak with the material/expertise necessary to create nuclear weapons.
3. Pakistan has funded and equipped radical Islamic terror groups in Kashmir which are slowly purging the state of anyone who is not Muslim. These groups train in the camps the Taliban (read: Pakistan) set up in Afghanistan.
4. There have been many indications since this war started that Pakistan has continued to supply the Taliban. There are also indications that Pakistan is undermining US efforts to create an inclusive government for Afghanistan by betraying opposition leaders inserted in Afghanistan (Abdul Haq).
Mussharif presided over Pakistans continued creation and funding of the Taliban, continued terror in Kashmir and the Kargil incursion a few years ago, and Pak's continued cozy relationship with China. But now, you think he and Pakistan are suddenly against terrorism and the Taliban and are friends of America? Get a clue.
Pakistan is only cooperating with us under durress. Remember the speech he made to the Pakistani people? 'The existance of our nation is at stake?' You better believe America knows the Taliban is a Pak creation, and we let them know right quick after 9/11 that they either cooperate with us, or get taken out.
You're right, the anthrax letter in this article doesn't prove anything, but taken in context, it's an 'indicator' that shouldn't be ignored.
You're really on a tear today, aren't you. You're directing your nastiness at a newbie who doesn't deserve it. I did not see pumacan state as a fact, anywhere, that it "implicates" the Pakistani government. Seems clear to me this is speculation on his part, as it is on mine (as we are free to do on FR, thank you FR).
Instead of continuing to pretend that pumacan's and my posts are somehow a smear of either a) all Pakistani people, or b) President Musharraf, or c) all of the above, please acknowledge that I have emphasized that I think there are ELEMENTS in the Pakistani government that I SPECULATE may have engaged in activities supportive of terrorists.
Well, Egyptians were involved in the WTC attacks - so is Mubarak somehow implicated by that fact?
Bad logic, dirtboy. Again, NOBODY here has "implicated" Musharraf. If I'm wrong, please point me to an exact quote saying such. Don't stretch a some generalized quote to extend to Musharraf again, please. That's not "logic."
AND I STILL SEE NO RESPONSE FROM YOU REGARDING IMPLICATIONS OF PAKISTANI GOV'T ELEMENTS IN THE BETRAYAL AND MURDER OF ABDUL HAQ.
We have no evidence, other than the fact that a letter was mailed in Pakistan
Yes, we DO have evidence of a Pakistani connection to the anthrax mailings - which is what I was talking about. Not "one letter mailed in Pakistan," but the raids resulting in at least one arrest and several detentions of Pakistani nationals living in Trenton/Hamilton.
I'm disappointed in you, dirtboy. I'm tired of this cr*ppy treatment of a newbie who's committed no particular crime. I have to go do some work now. So if you don't see more replies from me, it's not that I'm "afraid" to defend my assertions. It's just that I don't have the time or energy at the moment to keep banging my head against a brick wall.
