In a strikingly bold speech about terrorism scheduled for this morning, Democratic presidential candidate Illinois Senator Barack Obama will call not only for a withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq, but a redeployment of troops into Afghanistan and eve…

Consequence: Bush undermines Obama’s plan to stroll into Pakistan for bin Laden.

“Its better to burn out, than to fade away” –> Since Obama will castrate the US anyway, and since the Dems are planning to turn it into a Socialist’s paradise, lets go out with a bang I say. Take out the bastards in NK, Iran, and Syria. Tell China to take their favorable trade partner status and shove it, and then stroll into Pakistan and take out bin Laden. After that, I’m moving to Alaska.

and yadda, yadda, yadda . . .

“Heavens! What can possible have gotten into that cowboy Bush, that he would attack an ally like Pakistan! On what legal grounds can he possibly think he stands that he would cross their border?!”

- is trumped only by the hilarious Pakistani military clown –

“If they cross the border, we’ll shoot ‘em.”

Oh, really. God bless your silly azz if you fire a shot.

This could just be Pakistan loudly complaining “oh…ok. I guess we have to move our troops to this region to protect our sovereignty. We’ll happen to have troops stationed in this lawless pseudo autonomous region, but really we are just trying to protect our sovereignty. Wink . Wink .”

Of course, we’ll find out soon enough whether this is the case if attacks continue under the Pakistani millitary’s noses.

Will we back down?

Will we halfheartedly lob a few explosives their way and call that good?

Or will we bomb, strafe and missile that arrogant bunch of goat herders into the Stone Age?

Strange that the Pak military is totally incapable of finding or killing terrorists and the Taliban but their Army can suddenly appear where we are operating and be close enough to bring fire on our troops?

This should actually make military operations easier, since there is no need to worry about hurting the Pakistani military.

The fact that their military is in the area but not attacking terrorists would be enough reason to take them out.

On the other hand, if the Pak military is unable to control these areas, then US military operations actually SUPPORT Pakistan’s sovereignty there.

is that our kills in Pakistan have been with ” Predators ” right?

It gives the Paki gov cover while we fly over their brave army and kill the punks.

Nuts.

Foolish applies. I’m Crystal Palace was not amused.

Whatever. As long as we don’t hamstring our guys and let them rain hell on anyone who fires a shot in their direction or locks on our aircraft.

George Friedman of Stratfor wrote a great book a few years ago in which he said straight out that we’ll eventually have to go into Pakistan to get to the heart of this matter.

Pakistan’s ISI is up to their eyeballs in the problem and there is no easy solution but ignoring some basic facts doesn’t make them go away.

Cross our border again and we’ll blow you out of the sky

True. Must be time for me to take another nap.

We can also thank Pakistan for selling Iran some nuclear technology, along with North Korea. Some ally, huh?
