#2 I have to agree with this to some degree. Pakistan is a critical nexus of Islamofascist activity and it possesses nuclear weapons. Although Musharraf can at best be deemed an ally of convenience, we can not afford the risk of having him replaced by a ruler who more accurately represents Pakistan's pro-jihadist sympathies. Until we either leave Iraq or pacify it, we will have to be content with hoping the status quo holds in such places.

#3 Perv is playing a double game mainly as he dosent want a Indian friendly government on both sides.

A major factor continues to be Saudi funding of Islamist groups within Pakistan that needs to be tackled!!!!

#4 Margolis owned Jamieson Laboratories, the largest Vitamin and health food supplement manufacturer in Canada.

He writes breathless stuff about the "handsome" and "dark eyed" pashtun and punjabi soldiers he meets on his visits to Pakistani military facilities.

He defends his friends...

THE BIG LIE ABOUT `ISLAMIC FASCISM'
Eric S. Margolis 28 August 2006

The latest big lie unveiled by Washington's neoconservatives are the poisonous terms, `Islamo-Fascists' and `Islamic Fascists ' . They are the new, hot buzzwords among America's far right and Christian fundamentalists.

President George W. Bush made a point last week of using `Islamofacists' when recently speaking of Hezbullah and Hamas both, by the way, democratically elected parties. A Canadian government minister from the Conservative Party compared Lebanon's Hezbullah to Nazi Germany.

The term `Islamofascist' is utterly without meaning, but packed with emotional explosives. It is a propaganda creation worthy Dr . Goebbles, and the latest expression of the big lie technique being used by neocons in Washington's propaganda war against its enemies in the Muslim World.

#5 Or we could just nuke Pakistan into a piece of glass. The reflective albedo thus created would also have a cooling effect on the global environment thereby creating a policy "twofer".

#6 Yeah, Lou Rockwell always gets the most prestigious guests.
Maybe he ought to move to Pakistan, as they seem really impressed with him.

#8 Is this before or after we gave them $750 million to deal with the tribal areas?

#9 Not giving 'em 1.5 billion is part of the "pushing too far", bigjim-ky.
