#1 Time to waste the assholes and fuck the Paks if they can't drop their limp dicks and join the fight. Enough of the 'ol Cambodia stratagy. It didn't work in Vietnam and it ain't gonna work here. Kill the terrorists. Kill them wherever they hide. And if the Paks are spineless or dickless and can't/won't help, then they had better get out of the way.
Oh, and remind them we are arming India too. If they want to keep military parity with their enemy, they need to buck up and do their part or the F-16s they ordered will be delivered to New Delhi!

#2 This made me think of the unwritten rule in Texas regards defending your property - if he's over the threshold, then he's fair game... so drag him back inside, if you have to. The blood trail, well, you can hose down the walk before you make the call...

If they're within a coupla hundred meters of the border and you've got an A-10, hey, fuck it. If the PakiWakis object, tell 'em that's just where the parts came down.

This can't be tolerated. Popeye said it best...

#3 You cannot fight the war PC. Al Q and the Taliban use the PAK side as a safe haven. They have adapted their tactics to it. A couple of hits on the border area sans publicity will straighten up this mess.

#5 Thank you, thank you. I'll be here all week. Don't forget to tip your host!

Seriously, this PC shit has got to stop. It is killing americans. Americans who are willing to lay it all out on the line and defend this country against our sworn enemies. If the dickless asshats in the state department and pentegon can't get it through their thick skulls that we are playing for keeps and for our very exsistance, it is time to remove them from the picture. Preferably on a rail out of town.

#6 Are you sure that's the border? Maybe it is a few miles further, you must have the coordinates wrong. Go right ahead and blast em.

#7 Pak has been playing this game (on their eastern border) of arming terrorists and denying that they provide sanctuary for two decades.
After giving India the middle finger for twenty years they feel confident in using the strategy on their western border.
Unlike India, the US has the capability to make Pak behave. They are simply not using it.
Greater considerations of geopolitics prevent it.

#8 It's always easier to say you're sorry than to ask permission.

#9 It's even easier to note that harboring attackers in a war is an act of war, right Perv? Get the ISI under control

#10 I recently found the Rantburg site and since have enjoyed coming back daily. However, there are some acronyms that I have not yet learned. What does EFL mean?

#11 Hello Marlin and welcome. EFL is "edited for length," where we chop out the redundant and/or irrelevant bits.

#12 But it gives an insight into why the US-led coalition is having such difficulty defeating the insurgency that has affected much of eastern and southern Afghanistan for the past two years.

Return of the Quagmire to Afghanistan! And here I thought Nancy Pelosi declared that war over...

#13 Here is my question, shouldn't that AT-FLIRs be able to find people, even in the terrain of Eastern Afghanistan?

I thought that stuff was suppose to be the cat's ass.
