#1 Uh, I think there's already plenty of domestic strife in pakistain and all the US has to do is watch, wait and lower the boom at the appropriate moment...

#2 It's nice to know that as the American MSM collapse there's a place they can go to continue their profession of creative writing. It may not pay as well, but they get ink, damn it.

#3 But talk about loquacious. I haven't seen anything like that since Dan Darling got his security clearance.

#5 Somehow the U.S. drones and spy satellites are unable to target the shady rebel leaders who are exclusively fighting Pakistan and never attack U.S. soldiers across the border.

Why should the US attack those who never attack us?

#6 I think Pakistain may be in the process of making the decision to actually go to war with the United States.

I think the decision has already been made, and Pakistan wasn't consulted.

#7 I fear that our brave soldiers will be helpless in the face of the Brutal Pakistan Winter(tm).

#8 What of Pashtunistan, Graveyard of Armies?

The Sikh king Ranjit Singh conquered the Pashtuns. The graveyards were filled with those Muslims who rose up in jihad against him and were defeated.

#9 ARCLIGHT, just one, but a big one, down through the center of the FATA. Pakistan will fold like a wet paper bag trying to hold 20 pounds of potatos.

We don't want Pakistan. We really don't want anything to do with Pakistan. They just keep poking us with a sharp stick, and we're getting tired of it. It's time to spank a hand or two, preferably hard, but not nuclear. We also need to let them know that if they DON'T stop, they will disappear from the face of the Earth faster than a snowcone in the Mojave. The future of Pakistan is in the hands of the Pakistanis. They have to make the decision as to how they go forward from here. We, however, hold the trump if they make the wrong decision.
