They’re negotiating under fire to resuscitate a deal which already, by their own admission, constituted a “policy of appeasement.” What on earth is the new deal going to look like? Also, Roggio doesn’t mention it but keep in mind going forward that two of the highest profile attacks in Pakistan over the past month have been on Chinese workers. It was the kidnapping of Chinese massage parlor employees by Red Mosque jihadis and resulting complaint from the Chinese government that allegedly forced Musharraf to act against the Ghazi brothers. And according to Pakistani security agents, a car bomb that killed 30 Chinese workers outside Karachi yesterday was meant specifically for them, in what I guess was some sort of reprisal. The Times of London thinks it might indicate a broader regional reaction to Chinese “colonialism.” I wonder if it’s not aimed at instigating a backlash against the Chinese Uighurs which could then be exploited as another jihadi cause celebre.

They ARE terrorist agents. They are looking for a holocaust to fulfill their religious prophecy. They can’t be deterred from using them. MAD does not work when one side is actively trying to end the world so that their Messiah can come.

Think I am kidding? This is from the Daily Telegraph:

The most remarkable aspect of Mr Ahmadinejad’s piety is his devotion to the Hidden Imam, the Messiah-like figure of Shia Islam, and the president’s belief that his government must prepare the country for his return.

One of the first acts of Mr Ahmadinejad’s government was to donate about £10 million to the Jamkaran mosque, a popular pilgrimage site where the pious come to drop messages to the Hidden Imam into a holy well.

All streams of Islam believe in a divine saviour, known as the Mahdi, who will appear at the End of Days. A common rumour – denied by the government but widely believed – is that Mr Ahmadinejad and his cabinet have signed a “contract” pledging themselves to work for the return of the Mahdi and sent it to Jamkaran.

He is said to have gone into “occlusion” in the ninth century, at the age of five. His return will be preceded by cosmic chaos, war and bloodshed. After a cataclysmic confrontation with evil and darkness, the Mahdi will lead the world to an era of universal peace.

This is similar to the Christian vision of the Apocalypse. Indeed, the Hidden Imam is expected to return in the company of Jesus.

We take care of his problem for him (and the entire region) and we also comply with the treaty by eliminating an item of inspection (1st stage of the missile). With a clear understanding of the threat radical Islam provides to Western Civilization I believe in the old concept to make an omelet sometimes you have to break some eggs. Cruel and ruthless, but what can you expect for an old SAC guy. It is nothing that a Peacekeeper missile elimination under the confines of the START treaty couldn’t fix.

The Russians care about their children....Muslums send their children out with bombs strapped to their bodies to blow themselves to pieces. Whether Musharraf likes it or not, we should just go into northern Pakistan and start bombing "the villagers" back a few centuries.

No matter how badly Pakistan is portrayed by the likes of New York Times, it's still is an important ally in the war on terror. It should be encouraged to adopt the right policies. Long time lurker here. First time poster. Cheers guys. That kind of admission from the Pakistan government is stunning.
