#1 I hope it's a frank discussion, pun intended. "Perv? Do you want to have a dead country?"

#2 I'm a thinking... Pakiwakiland may need to come before Iran.

#3 As long as they keep feeding them to NATO/US forces a few at a time, who cares? In the end, they die. And they're good target practice, too!

#4 Mushy recognized Taliban until about a week after 9-11, as part of his dictatorship's "Pakistan in depth" policy. Perhaps, when he took US aid in exchange for an occasional arrest of a foreign Arab, it was only tactical.

#5 The defense in depth policy is crazy. If India and the Paks every go and it tooth and nail for all the marbles it'll be nuclear. Removing forces to Afghanistan would be useless.

Like TW said - Pakistan is what the enhanced radiation weapon was designed for. I expect India has experimented with them.

#6 Pakistan like Iran must be priority for the West.

Get India to invade with the support of the west is their only hope for salvaging that shithole.

#7 Another f**kin' surprise. Are any 2008 candidates willing to take a stand on immediate withdrawal fro the joke that is the UN ? Newt ??

Why would India want them?

#9 Musharraf's got all the cards, and he knows it. That's the problem with strategic moves -- you sometimes have to do stuff that makes you worse off in the short run to make sure that the NEXT guy behaves. Alternatively, we can make the Taliban think that they're winning, feed false information, let them attack, and make sure that they endure the closest thing to hell on earth as possible. What is that, I wonder? Maybe Pork Week at Barbecue University.

#10 Time for the US to get over its "vietnam phobias" and use napalm to clean out the NWFP. Sorry, it's going to kill mommies and kiddies and baby ducks, but it'll prevent the next generation from being a problem, and the secondaries will be spectacular. There is no good reason to allow this cesspool to continue to pollute the world.

I understand we have extensive stockpiles of VX gas we're looking to dispose of. I cannot think of a better place to do that than Pakistan, Iran, The Magic Kingdom and a few other hellholes.

After allowing sufficient time for the agent to degrade and the corpses to rot, the territory could be recolonized without concern for radiation. All in all, a win/win.
