<< Personally, i think we should topple the Pakistani government as well... they've allowed Bin Laden to use Pakistan as a training ground, and i wouldnt' be surprised if Pakistan help funded the attack. >>



we have to be more careful when dealing with a nation having known nuclear capabilities
>>



They could threaten troops there with nukes, but they haven't got the capability to strike continental USA.
>>

uhm Pakistan has commercial airliners and well ...we have seen what an airliner can do but the real is Osama is the target here and his immediate circle. and

<< I am too yonge to remember clearly, but I seem to remember seeing news reports of iraqis simply throwing down their AKs and surrendering. >>

the majority of Iraqis are Sunni not Shiite a difference in even Islam. ...Very eloquent piece at the top of the thread which more people would be bettered by reading and digesting in their thoughts.

<< I'd have to disagree with the pakistan part. Pakistan have already given their airspace and will NEVER risk war with the US and if the US requests, they will get permission to pass though... >>



Maniak, the problem here is that when "Pakistan" gave us permission, they weren't speaking for the population. The general who is currently in charge gave us permission, but a lot of the Pakistan population are not as moderate as that current leader. I've read (even on this board) that something like half of Pakistan support The Taliban in Afghanistan.

Paksitan still sells fuel to The Taliban, even though U.N. sanctions forbid it. Pakistan recognizes The Taliban as the rightful government of Afghanistan. So when "Pakistan" gives the United States permission to use their airspace, it does not necessarily mean that Pakistanis give us permission.

<<Uh... the current Pakistani gov't is not exactly very stable... they exist at the whim of the Islamic fundamentalists who are pulling their strings. That's why General Pervez is in a bind. If he takes a really pro-US stance, there'll be a coup. He'll be ousted.

He's probably going to end up getting ousted anyways.>>

President Musharaff has the control of his army.....I think it's pretty hard for the Islamic fundamentalists to start a coup there.

Maniak here :cool:

Even if Pakistan doesn't agree to let troops on its soil, the US could launch a good attack from air. Drop troops and vehicles in rebel controlled zones, seize air strips, send more tropps and vehicles...It will cost more and take longer, but its still doable.

Moralpanic,

As usual you demonstrate you're a racist asshole... You seem to hate everything Muslim. Get your facts straight you prick... the CIA trained the Afghans in Pakistan to fight the Soviets. Why are you such an ignorant bastard? Stop speaking out of your ass... go brush up on facts before you start taking S-.

You people have no clue what you are talking about when it comes to Pakistan. General Mushraf is pretty popular amongst the people of the nation... he has brought about the end to alot of corruption and is bringing the country on path of progress.

Something you people might not know is Musharaf has closed many Fundamentalist schools and organizations... he's jailed the leaders of these groups.

While relations with Pakistan haven't been the best recently, Pakistan is a US ally. The current Pakistani government fears and hates Bin Laden as much as we do... they realize that he has incited alot of ill feeling in their nation which can cause them to be topled. They want him gone just like everyone else.

It's true that many ignorant and illeterate people in Pakistan favor the Fundamentalists... this is why Musharaf is in delicate position on how to break news of US support.

But make no mistake, Musharaf wants Bin Laden gone... it's primarily because of that F- that Pakistan has lost American favor.

You know, i didn't think you could get any more stupid, but you surprised me again... now who should i believe, some moron on an anonymous board, or from a source such as the LA Times?



<< Closing Pakistan's border with Afghanistan and shutting all militant Islamic schools and camps in Pakistan >>



LA Times

And racist? What is racist about saying we should topple the Pakistani government? You're an idiot, perhaps you shouldn't be visiting these boards if you're so sensitive.

While relations with Pakistan haven't been the best recently, Pakistan is a US ally.

LOL yeah, an ally that has been sanctioned by the US. Come on, you can't even come up with good lies.

Man... you are so far removed from any sense... it's sad... i feel sorry for you.

You call me an idiot... and then you go on to blab... when it's so clear you have NO idea what you're talking about.

What the hell does your post have to do with refuting the facts i've stated? Are you so retarted you don't even know how to offer a rebuttal?

What's with the LA Times post?

Hmmm... I shouldn't visit the board because i'm sensitive? I gurantee you're look as stupid as you sound. When you go make useless and inflamatory remarks that have no basis behind them... any person with an average IQ will move to correct you.

You don't even know anything about Pakistan... let alone the government of Pakistan... and you speak as you're a F-in authority. Lemme guess... you ate paint chips as a child... and that prevented your brain from developing properly.

Pakistan IS a US ally... you moron... where do you think the Afghans were trained in their war with the Soviets? Where were US intelligence groups based? You are such an stupid moron that you can't even accept facts... you seem to be happy living in that fictional world where you are the numb-nut king.

Oh yeah... here are a few dingers that prove your intellingence:



<< More lies... they didn't support Bin Laden, they supported the freedom fighters, which Bin Laden happened to be a part of. There's a difference there. That's like saying the US supported Timothy McVeigh in bombing the Oaklahoma building... they didn't, he just happened to have been part of the military. >>



You idiot... Bin Laden was part of the group the trained...



<< Personally, i think we should topple the Pakistani government as well... they've allowed Bin Laden to use Pakistan as a training ground, and i wouldnt' be surprised if Pakistan help funded the attack. >>



Where are your sources to make such a derogatory claim asshole? You don't know S-... now sit down and shut the F- up.



<< Heck ya... that's not a surprise. India has an excellent relationship with most of the world... only people they have a problem with is Pakistan. >>



Yer an idiot... most of the world doesn't particulatly care about them... only those countries that can exploit the brain drain from India. And yeah... China LOVES them.



<< The more i read these boards, the more i think the US should pull out of the Middle East... and let Israel wipe you all out. You really should be thankful that Clinton has been trying for years to get both Israel and the Palestinians to reconcile, instead of letting Israel do whatever they wanted. >>



"wipe you all out"?

and you don't think you're a racist F-?

I see now what generations of inbreeding as done to your redneck ass.

What's with the LA Times post?

Well, either you didn't bother to read it, or you couldn't comprehend it... but it was to show a credible source that Pakistan does train Bin Laden's terrorists.

Hmmm... I shouldn't visit the board because i'm sensitive? I gurantee you're look as stupid as you sound. When you go make useless and inflamatory remarks that have no basis behind them... any person with an average IQ will move to correct you.

Well nobody has except you... and i just proved that all yours were lies.

Pakistan IS a US ally... you moron... where do you think the Afghans were trained in their war with the Soviets? Where were US intelligence groups based? You are such an stupid moron that you can't even accept facts... you seem to be happy living in that fictional world where you are the numb-nut king.


That was 20 yrs ago you idiot. If Pakistan is an ally to the US, then why has teh US sanctioned them? Are you that delusional that you can't understand this?

"wipe you all out"?

Are you diseased with some sort of condition where you only selectively choose what to understand? I didn't say they SHOULD, i used that as an argument to all the whiners that are saying it was teh US involvement in the Middle East that caused this... i said maybe the US should leave the Middle East, and let them duke it out... and what would the result be? Most likely the nation with the nukes... which is Israel, and they would wipe out everybody around them.

Geez you're sensitive... aren't you the guy that told somebody to die because their opinion was different than yours?

And who's calling who a racist... you're the idiot that made that racist thread on Canadians.
Here's the idiot's thread on Canada
