#1 And now, VIRGINIA, you know yet another reason why RUSSIA FOUGHT GEORGIA IN AUGUST 2008.

#2 It's all fun and games when your trained attack dogs are murdering infidels, but when your rabid curs turn on their masters...well, it sucks to be you.

#3 Pakistan would have collapsed if GWB had the common sense to carpet bomb Pashto Afghanistan from the north. Instead - in service of his Saudi owners - GWB lifted sanctions and poured aid into the terror entity. If stupidity was a crime, GWB wouldn't breath free air for the rest of his wretched life. I wonder what the knee jerkers think?

#4 Thor,

A Pakistan collapse in 2001 or 2002 or 2003 would have resulted in Al Q having many nukes.

A Pakistan collapse today would probably result in our being able to either disable or take the nukes out.

Its an important difference.

#5 Thor Elmulet1863, you ever thought how the World would look now if George (Condi) considered the facts instead of rushing headlong into "Nation Building"?

#6 Somebody in Pakistan has actually stepped back from the testosterone overdose to see reality. Al Qaeda has already shown the Muslim world that attacking America is a loser's game. Perhaps if this goes on long enough, the Ummah will realize that sponsoring terrorists is even more stupid -- in the long run a much more effective strategy than bombing the part of Pakistan that they don't much care about even further into the stone age than they currently are.

#7 Farrukh Saleem, when I read you, my head just starts to spin. Where do I start following your logic? Where does it lead me? I get dizzy trying to figure it out.

#8 Su-30MKIs, the most advanced, nuclear-capable, long-range, high-endurance, heavy-class Air Dominance Fighters with multi-mission capabilities.

I don't know if I'd go THAT far.

#10 As our national defence strategy appears to have collapsed, our own proxies -- the Taliban and the Jihadis -- are now waging a war on Pakistan itself ......
well it seemed like a good idea at the time...
