Gilani: Obama may halt Pak incursions |
2008-11-17 |
Premier Syed Yousuf Raza Gilani hopes that US President-elect, Barack Obama's administration would halt incursions into Pakistan. He might for awhile. But unless he's stoopid they'll start back up as soon as he realizes they're directed not so much against Pakistain but against the Sovreign State of al-Qaeda. Always assuming there's a difference, of course. |

#7 It's entirely within Mirrorball's MO to threaten action, then punk out afterwards. Especially when promising not to do something & doing it on the QT might have been in the national interest. Because the national interest is icky. |

#5 He ran on telling whoever he was talking to what they wanted to hear. He's taken both sides of all issues. And pointing this out is impossible because it's both "an attack on character" and "racist." |

#3 Yep, B; NATO shall assume a greater role RELATIVE to the US - but NATO will assume a smaller (or no) role in absolute terms. |

#2 Obama has consistently made comments indicating that NATO should assume a much greater role in this region. I believe his intentions are very clear. |

#1 If you aren't going to attack into P'stan you'd better pull out of A'stan - which is what I expect to happen. |
