#1 "we would be out of our minds..." You are.

"They should give us actionable intelligence so that we can take action." They have repeatedly. You take no action or warn the terrorists before operastions are caried out.

Sectors fo the ISI support the Taliban. Sectors of the militarty support the Taliban. OBL and Mullha One Eye are still protected guests in your country. Saying it's not true means nothing. The facts are what they are.

#4 Heh - Pakistan - the next target in the WoT.

Nope. There will never be another target in the WoT. At least, from the West.

We've given up. We've decided it's just not worth defending ourselves.

#5 I have no problem targeting inside the Pak border. But I'm still frustrated with the Pak sideshow, and thats all it really is. Iran is where we need to be to end this war against the Muslim extreemists and their plans to defeat Israel.

Lets break this down a bit. From my slightly jaded perspective. Afghanistan was little more than the training grounds for the terrorists and now a battle ground that they are losing. While this was a great strategic victory for us, I believe all along Palistine and Israel continue to be the real objective battle ground for Iran, Their center of gravity. Iran is the real driving force and I believe they are the center of gravity in this war if we are to end it.

#7 Senior U.S. officials also report sights of the sun rising in the East and setting in the West, and stopped clocks being right precisely twice each day.

#8 While Pak military and muslim imams push the taliban and aid and abet them, the money comes from Saudi Arabia and Iran. Striking one while ignoring the other won't stop the conflict. We need to slaughter the house of saud, down to the tiniest child, and turn the western half of the nation over to Jordan. Keep the eastern half as a "protectorate" for a few hundred years.

Nuke Iran, any place where there may be military equipment, any city over 5000 people, and anything else that strikes our fancy. Until we destroy Iran, the islamofascists will have a protector and fundraiser. Paleostain and Pakiwakiland would both collape in three days without the support of Iran. There would be some serious implosions in Syria and Lebanon as well.

We need to conquer all the Middle East, and SLOWLY let them learn to live in a democracy, starting at the local level, working up to region, and finally, if they learn their lessons well enough, to the national level. This "war" will only be long as long as we try to do everything piecemeal. Let the iron fist fall, and let the weeping begin.
