In view of the recent sabre rattling by the Obama administration about incursions from Afghanistan by insurgents, how long will it be before an invasion is seriously considered by the US as yet another "theatre" in the so called "War Against Terror"?
I think they should invade the UK there are so many so called citizens in there that if they take them out the terrorist will start running out of cash pretty fast .
no possibility of war see between them. Pakistan problem is having fanatic people but good governors!
After some time when Us feels it has had enough of Pakistan which has not cooperated for a single moment with them, they will cut off all aid and money going there and may send troops too if it thinks the terrorism is growing there.
Pakistan has nothing we want to take or hold, we just want to help rid them of the terrorist and terrorist supporters in their midst. We can do that without an invasion. That is what drones are for.
Full Invasion of Pakistan, highly unlikely.. Isolation of Pakistan, most certainly. Most of it depends on Indian attitude towards America.. Oh, I though it was WMDs as the excuse!!
Of course it is not.. But you don't see US going out of it's way to sign a deal to offer advanced nuclear technology (of course of civilian use) and stating that it is possible to sell the most advanced fighter jet in the world (that's F-35) to China.. When you go to war with one country, you want to have support from at least one of it's neighbors. That's why Pakistan was crucial for US for Afghan invasion. That's why Indian support will be crucial for US to isolate Pakistan or take Pakistani nukes out. As much as you hate India, Western Powers see India as a reliable ally, be it US, UK France or Germany. Even Russia and Israel recognize India as close friend. So although China is as important as India, for any shit that goes down in South Asia. America counts on India way more than China. Now speaking of China, it is in a complicated position, it is Pakistan's so called ally, But is Pakistan more important to China than it's business with America and Europe.. I don't think so. China's major business interest is with major NATO states.. Can it afford to go at war with all of them. That too to protect a rogue nation that proliferated nuclear technology, breeds terrorists, and causes troubles even in China. It had Taliban and AQ...
For a second I thought you were talking about N. Korea, another rogue state China keeps on life support, despite complete isolation from everyone else other than Iran. Pakistan doesn't have the kind of mind control over it's people that N.Korea does, so it will be interesting to see how this plays out.
Rofl. Yeah, we're just swimmin in oil now Lax. Though even the clinton administration was sure saddam had WMDs, it could still have been a secondary causus beli. I suspect one of the real lessons from iraq is "Never piss off a Texan whose job descrip includes the words 'Commander in Chief' ". Back at the topic of the thread... undiplomatic diplomacy happens in world politics all the time. They aren't always the ally we'd like them to be, but they are an ally. Heck, the US didn't even cut off the foreign aid to PK. Would we send them money if we were seriously planning to go to war with them?
Of course it didn't . Osama was such a nice guy Then again for a moron that calls the war on terror "the so called" reality might be a hard concept to grasp . Maybe the 7/7 attacks where made by the US 2 ? Or are you one of those terrorist lovers ? If so you can go and love them in Somalia . Do the math and see how much oil the US could have bought with the money they spent in Iraq . You might even sprout some brain cells from the effort . @Helvetti You can chest beat all you want , you still don't have any Raptors , the JSF is a inferior in every combat role but it is a much needed Harrier replacement . So congratz you got the Harrier II . Now get back in place and see that as long as China will provide support for the Pakis India won't be worth 2 cents . You guys fail at stopping terrorism inside your borders let alone project power . China will do anything to try to prove that their demented system is supreme , funding the Pakis is just a small thing .
Russia being economically weak, China feels it is there to fill the void and keep the balance.. But unlike Russia, China is a capitalistic communist and Chinese economy depends largely on manufacture and exports to west. China is comparable to a bee, it can buzz all it wants and everyone is forced to listen to it's buzz.. But if it stings, it is dead. And there we go again, lookey lookey its self appointed leader of the NATO farting from mouth, talking from ass.. You sure have wet feelings for China, what are you? A terrorist supporter? Why are you so bitter man? Troubled Childhood? PS: BTW, you know that Paki is an offensive word.. It is similar to calling a black person, you-know-what.. Also, as I said you can hate us all you want, but the 'Real' NATO states (Not the puppet states, who think just because they are in NATO, they are hot shots while they don't even matter on world scale) recognize India's importance as an ally..
At this moment there are not stingers that can truly challenge NATO even by combined might nevertheless history have shown that madmen are always ready to commit nations to suicide for the sake of their demented dreams. And there we go again, lookey lookey its self appointed leader of the NATO farting from mouth, talking from ass.. You sure have wet feelings for China, what are you? A terrorist supporter?
