Yes, but that's why they can't allow American troops into Pakistan. The government is not on a strong footing, and any little thing can set it off and create a rebellion. It's basically a tight rope, Pakistan wants to help us, but they can only do so much before they piss their own people off too much.

They don't 'want' to help us. They have no choice.

They have a choice.

Stop flooding your hate in this thread.

Evidence that they have no choice? ok thanks

Tell us, what choice do they have and how can they exercise it?

Majority of the urban, rural and tribal population are anti-US. The pro US facton is the political leadership and perhaps the few modern people in the cities, and perhaps the military. You might want to hang around with a few pakistanis to get an idea.

They can say NO. Nobody is forcing Pakistan to do anything. They have nuclear weapons which means nobody is going to touch them.

Noobdy wants U.S forces in their country.

You want Mexican forces in the U.S?

The US needs to stop lobbing missiles at rumours. You'd think after so many f*** ups this would have been figured out by now.

Pakistan said YES only after India offered the U.S comprehensive support right after 9/11. Musharraf pretty much told this to the Pakistani people in his national address justifying his decision to side with the U.S. Pakistan was indeed forced, one way or another.

I too agree with the theory that Pakistan was informed of this attack. Regardless of that, if Pakistan was a willing partner, why didn't Pakistani troops attempt to capture or kill Zawahiri?

Pakistani troops can capture him only if he was actually there.
If it was not for India Russia would have fell long ago. Did India offered US any help when Russia was invading Afghanistan? No, they made trade pacts with Russia, bought military equipment from them. They are siding with US now because Russia is no longer a superpower. Pakistan always pays dearly for siding with the US.

Perhaps if the Nixon administration had not threatened to attack India for liberating Bangladesh in 1971, Russia wouldn't have had to save India's backside by threatening to get involved, thereby putting India in her debt for quite sometime - at least until Russia was pressurized by the U.S to not sell cryogenic technology to India, which was about the time India started disengaging from their suffocating embrace of Russia. And Russia's support for the Kashmir issue in the UNSC was another reason why India was so close to Russia.

BTW, Musharraf himself has stated several times that he believes OBL to be holed up in the remote tribal areas and frequently travelling between Afghanistan and Pakistan. In this particular incident though, I don't think Pakistan is so much at fault as the U.S is. As the senior partner in virtually any international engagement, the onus is always on the U.S to get the plan right. Unfortunately, that is a huge ask and mistakes will be made occasionally. I just wish the people making the mistakes had the guts to stand up every once in a while and show some contrition. It hasn't happened very often with this U.S administration.

That's what I was talking about...the commoners don't matter, it's whos in charge, and the people in charge want to cooperate with us.

I doubt Bush was like Ohhh please Pakistan help us. It was probably along the lines of:

We know you have supported terrorist in the past but we are willing to forget that if you bend over and take it up the a$$.

Pakistan seems pretty good at that though. Especially considering all of the times India has owned it with inferior weaponry.

Pakistan didn't have to do anything for the U.S because the U.S was never going to invade Pakistan.

It is out of the question.

How was Pakistan forced? Nobody was/is ever going to invade/attack Pakistan. An attack on Pakistan = destruction of the region.

If the U.S has information of someone hiding out some place that is a top fugitive, I doubt they are going to sit around for a day to discuss the politics of the matter. Within minutes they are going to bomb the site. Pakistan's army is not always within minutes of everything.

Destruction of the region? O RLY?

Just get satelliete maps from India/Israel and bomb their nuke facilities from high altitudes. The war is already over.

The Pakistani army is incompetent. They lost to 1950's era fighters in wars against India. Some Pushtoons in rags give them trouble as well.

Oh please.

Get your India pride BS out of here.

India cannot destroy Pakistan without Pakistan dropping a few bombs on India killing many millions.

If you wish to believe that India can destroy Pakistan without a scratch , then good luck.

Do you purposely ignore what people say to you?

Is it not a fact that India has owned Pakistan 3 times with barely a scratch? In one of the wars Karachi was burning for days I believe.

And I wasn't counting on India to do anything except provide intelligence like the did against Al-Qaeda. Send out a few high altitude stealth sorties and knock out all of the Pakistani nuclear capibility. Bingo, its over. Pakistan doesn't hold a candle to the Indian Army much less our Armed forces.

I don't give a damn about the past.
What the hell does the past have to do with anything? This is not the past.

India and Pakistan are the same people. You can hate your own people I don't care.

You are suggesting India can bomb Pakistan and Pakistan will not be able to use their 24-48 nuclear missiles on them. Get real.

I'm really not going thru this with you again. Neither of them are my people, but they are def both not the SAME people.

If you read my posts, which you never do with any thread you post in, I clearly was insinuating that Bush threatened them on some level in order to get them to cooperate. India attacking was never part of the equation. By bringing in India to the subject I was just showing how completely inept the conventional Pakistani military is.

Musharraf would never put himself on the line for no reason. Pakistan has more hardline ISlamists than even Iran, they still have honor killings. But it doesn't matter to me they are both crapholes. Don't think for a second that we can't take out Pakistan. What are they going to do once their nuclear capibility is gone?

You cannot locate where their missiles are and destroy them.
Wtf are you talking about?
They already have 24-48 nuclear weapons made.

Indian and Pakistan = same people. Sorry to hurt your feelings.

India attacking was never part of the equation. By bringing in India to the subject I was just showing how completely inept the conventional Pakistani military is.

Musharraf would never put himself on the line for no reason. Pakistan has more hardline ISlamists than even Iran, they still have honor killings. But it doesn't matter to me they are both crapholes. Don't think for a second that we can't take out Pakistan. What are they going to do once their nuclear capibility is gone?

You cannot locate where their missiles are and destroy them.
Wtf are you talking about?
They already have 24-48 nuclear weapons made.

Indian and Pakistan = same people. Sorry to hurt your feelings.

I'm quite sure both Israel and India know they are.

Oh yeah?

Maybe you should educate the U.S on how to locate missiles.

You need to do some more research on military and military history before you speak of it.

Even a few years ago when the U.S invaded Iraq, Iraq was able to launch their missiles at U.S forces and the U.S feared they had chemical weapons in them..

but but.. I thought you could locate missiles....

They can say NO. Nobody is forcing Pakistan to do anything. They have nuclear weapons which means nobody is going to touch them.

Noobdy wants U.S forces in their country.

You want Mexican forces in the U.S?

Pakistan said YES only after India offered the U.S comprehensive support right after 9/11. Musharraf pretty much told this to the Pakistani people in his national address justifying his decision to side with the U.S. Pakistan was indeed forced, one way or another.

I too agree with the theory that Pakistan was informed of this attack. Regardless of that, if Pakistan was a willing partner, why didn't Pakistani troops attempt to capture or kill Zawahiri?

How was Pakistan forced? Nobody was/is ever going to invade/attack Pakistan. An attack on Pakistan = destruction of the region.

If the U.S has information of someone hiding out some place that is a top fugitive, I doubt they are going to sit around for a day to discuss the politics of the matter. Within minutes they are going to bomb the site. Pakistan's army is not always within minutes of everything.

Destruction of the region? O RLY?

Just get satelliete maps from India/Israel and bomb their nuke facilities from high altitudes. The war is already over.

The Pakistani army is incompetent. They lost to 1950's era fighters in wars against India. Some Pushtoons in rags give them trouble as well.

Oh please.

Get your India pride BS out of here.

India cannot destroy Pakistan without Pakistan dropping a few bombs on India killing many millions.

If you wish to believe that India can destroy Pakistan without a scratch , then good luck.

Do you purposely ignore what people say to you?

What India pride?

Is it not a fact that India has owned Pakistan 3 times with barely a scratch? In one of the wars Karachi was burning for days I believe.

And I wasn't counting on India to do anything except provide intelligence like the did against Al-Qaeda. Send out a few high altitude stealth sorties and knock out all of the Pakistani nuclear capibility. Bingo, its over. Pakistan doesn't hold a candle to the Indian Army much less our Armed forces.

I don't give a damn about the past.
What the hell does the past have to do with anything? This is not the past.

India and Pakistan are the same people. You can hate your own people I don't care.

You are suggesting India can bomb Pakistan and Pakistan will not be able to use their 24-48 nuclear missiles on them. Get real.

:roll:

:rolls eyes:

Did the missles actually hit?

If they did I didn't hear anything about it

I thought so.

Israel has done it before.

So heres a :cookie:

Israel has done what exactly?

What is it you are trying to prove?

You claimed you can find missiles and I proved you cannot.

Stop blabbering and just don't reply. You were proven wrong.

Maybe this is why they are protesting: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060115/ap_on_re_as/pakistan_al_qaida_attack

or maybe you prefer Fox News:

I don't think he is denying that they are protesting or why...but asking why they seem to be smiling in the photo (or even laughing). I searched Yahoo images and every protest photo from Pakistan looked similar (hand waving high with a smile like expression on their face). *shrugs*

My bad. :eek:

Actually this is funny I checked for myself. On the Yahoo site I posted, is a slide show but there are more pictures of al-Zawahri then of what was going on there today.
