If Pakistan Falls..

Quote from EdgeHunter:

ON WHAT PLANET...

The TALIBAN have about 35,000 rag tag guys strung out over the AF Pak area and they are not well organized or have any decent communications... and they have only automatic weapons and not much sophisticated heavy weapons...

The idea of them overtaking... beating... whatever... the 650,000 (over half million) well trained Pakistani army is ludicrous - ridiculous and not even close to possible...

The Pakistani army is the one which helped the USA in Somalia when they were in trouble !!... remember the hit movie...

They have more men in their armed forces then the USA does in their armed forces and a lot of sophisticated weaponry..

The USA is again pushing an unnecessary war through fear based paranoia one more time.. ad infinitum

To be clear: It Is Another USA Lie...

"I do so love the smell of napalm in the morning"

Half the Pakistani army is taliban. Why do you think they are so nervous about taking on the taliban? It's no different than if Obama tried to turn the US army on the southern US.
 
Quote from pspr:

I think the pak military will prevail enough to keep the Taliban at bay. Pak will have another bloodless military coop though. Musharif is ready to come back if the generals want him in charge again.

If they don't, and the U.S. has to send in troops to restore order it will be worse than Vietnam. The best thing we could do is remove the nukes then do surgical strikes against Al qada and the Taliban. Or maybe let India take care of them.

Yes, but the nukes are spread out all over the country. Their intelligence service created the taliban and are sympathetic to them. They are seen as a means to prevent India from gaining a foothold in afghanistan.

The US simply does not have the resources to invade Pakistan. We could make some limited incursions, but what happens if they use a nuke on our troops? Most likely, if the taliban take over, we will do nothing except talk.
 
I heard with pakistan the nuclear option is on the redbook. If taliban shows up in pakistan wielding a nuke I would not be surprised if a medium yield device is detonated over pakistan.
 
As always the TV news is spreading falsehoods to us, to whip us into a frenzy of war.

Like us, the Pakistani people are being victimized by bankers.

All they wish is to live in peace. But we will not let that happen!
Oh we are told, they are crazy darkskinned barbarians.
That's always the story.

The US stood by when martial law was declared in pakistan, and when they rounded up the judges and lawyers (who represent democracy).

Typically, the "insurgents" are those who resent Western interference in their country. ...that's how the British Empire spread, and now the US-Israel empire.

Can anyone tell us about the juicy oil pipelines and contracts in pak? I am sure they exits.

ISLAMABAD (Reuters) - The prospect of Islamist militants destabilizing nuclear-armed Pakistan is a global fear, but only 10 percent of Pakistanis saw terrorism as their biggest worry, according to an opinion poll released on Monday.

For the vast majority economic issues such as inflation, unemployment and poverty were a greater problem, according to a survey by the International Republican Institute (IRI), a Washington-based organization chaired by Senator John McCain.
 
The only rogue nation to hide WMD is Israel.

Not a democracy but a rogue terror state full of brainwashed moonbats who think they are superior and who have guns shoved into their hands at age 18 (draft).

Iran urges world action on Israeli nukes

Press TV
Monday, May 11, 2009

Iran says Israel’s undeclared arsenal of approximately 200 atomic warheads is the only obstacle in the way of a nuclear-free zone in the Middle East.

In a Monday address to the third session of the preparatory committee for the 2010 Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty Review Conference in New York, Iranian delegates hit out at the lack of world action on Israel’s possession of atomic nuclear weapons — which can be launched from land, sea and air.

According to the delegates, the Israeli military’s indiscriminate and deliberate use of white phosphorus shells against Palestinian civilians shows that “Tel Aviv is not fit to possess nuclear weapons”.

“Israel’s nuclear arsenal represents the single greatest threat to countries in the region,” said the delegates, while criticizing the West’s hands-off approach to Tel Aviv’s development of nuclear weaponry.

“Washington echelons and their European counterparts actually helped equip Israel with nuclear weaponry, in complete violation of the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty,” the delegation asserted.



Israel is widely regarded as the sixth-largest nuclear power in the world and the sole possessor of an atomic arsenal in the Middle East. It reportedly houses at least 100 bunker-busting bombs, which come in the form of laser-guided mini-nukes with the ability of penetrating underground targets.

Over the past decades, US presidents have largely colluded with Israel’s so-called policy of nuclear opacity.

Investigative journalist Seymour Hersh has revealed that former US president Richard Nixon and his chief foreign policy adviser Henry Kissinger privately endorsed Israel’s atomic arsenal in 1969 and banned any inspection of its Dimona nuclear center.

Although Tel Aviv was not a signatory to the NPT, the US leadership went on to to provide it with advanced weapons such as krytrons (nuclear triggers) and supercomputers.

The Iranian delegation called for a non-discriminatory disarmament process, saying the West’s silence on Israeli nuclear weapons sends a negative message about double standards
 
They kill and assassinate at will (Bhutto). I am certain it will be a cakewalk if we go in.

U S troops in two countries in close proximity to Russia, not to mention China.

Lot to think about.
