Remember when the great Barack suggested that US may have to dive into Pakistan to get Osama, with or without permission? Considering Osama is no longer Musharraf's priority,
the Bush Administration agreed to go in, if asked. I think with a successful 9/11 style attack there, a takeover of a nuke silo or an assassination of Musharraf, the US may dive in without stopping and asking.
Watch this video before you comment on whether or not we should bother these people:

Whats your point there Drax? I don't think bin Laden is in a big metropolitan city.
The point, in my own weird way, is that Dubya keeps turning countres to shit to find [i]one guy, and after 9/11, all OBL has done, AFAIK, is make threatening videos.
Next thing ya' know, the big cheese 'ill say there WMDs in Pakistan.
I'm most likely being nievee But I think unless there can be absolute proof as to Benny's location, forget about invasion.
Well, there ARE WMDs in Pakistan. They have The Bomb, and have done multiple successful tests.
tell me youre kidding, drax?
Pakistan has conducted two nuclear tests, the first of which was claimed to be the simultaneous detonation of five nuclear devices and the second a single, smaller device.
These were on 28th and 30th of May 1998, and were in response to tests by India a week previously.

or any of the other 2,400,000 google hits for "Pakistan nuclear tests"...
India is taking the fact Pakistan have nukes seriously. Why don't you think India isn't attacking Pakistan now, while India has the nuke?
And it's no coincidence that al-Qaeda is cozying up in Waziristan. Now US would have to ask nicely to invade another territory.
Hey if we can get the Paki's and the Ijuns to have a little nuclear exchange maybe we could get some of those outsourced jobs back! Not a bad idea.
Now there's an optimistic thought.:eek:
India pledged not to attack with a nuke first. Pakistan, population being outnumbered 7 to 1 vis a vis India, currently does not pledge to so refrain.
Frontline did a great show on PBS last night on the resurgence of the Taliban and the role of Pakistan. It was very good.
http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/taliban/McCain was on the tube tonight, promising to go after Bin Laden. I guess that means Pakistan.
Oh shucks, that means Iran could win again. If the US, particularly with Bush in the White House bungles and do too much collateral damage in Pakistan, then that could mean Iran is the only real power in the Muslim Middle East.
Well Bruce, That'll prolly make tw happy.
Don't be silly, NOTHING makes tw happy.
Well Bruce, That'll prolly make tw happy.
That would make any decent and real Americans happy. Those with contempt for America even refused to ask a simple question: "When do you go after bin Laden?"
In 349 days, America will have leaders with balls to ask that question. Wacko extremists, so dumb as to all but protect bin Laden, will be circumcised. Then America will begin the long arduous task of recovering cordial relations with most every nation in the world. Of course, 30% who show no intelligence as to support George Jr will disagree. Dittoheads especially believe what they are told to.
Oh shucks, that means Iran could win again.
From The Economist of 2 Feb 2008:

Hmm, I think America will have a leader
without ANY balls at all.
Iran winning? I would like to think of it as we handed it to them (or Osama did).
Hmm, I think America will have a leader without ANY balls at all.
Maybe that next president will use somebody else's balls for that pendulum rack found on one's desk.
It's still a long way from tw saying "I am happy." As for the rest of his, uh, analysis, it's still the thalidomide case trying to play the bagpipes.
