Shots have been fired. U.S. to stay out of Pakistani territory while hunting down militants along the volatile border with Afghanistan. U.S. officials said the two choppers were inside Afghanistan when the troops opened fire. Pakistan insisted the aircraft had crossed the ill-defined and contested border. The war is headed to Pakistan. Obama is for heading into Pakistan and McCain is against it.
Unless I heard McCain wrong, I think he thinks that Pakistan is helping fight the war on terrorism. Obama sees Pakistan for what they are, a safe haven for terrorist. It will be interesting to see, if Obama is elected, the war against terrorism crossover into Pakistan.
USA keeps on entering Pakistan, lands its troops in Pakistan and now when Pakistan responds, they have a problem with it. This is a charade before the elections. And I think there'll be another stunt before the elections infavour of the war monger. Like there was before Bush's second term when an Osama video showed up at the last moment.
Pakestani Prez just had a meeting with palin. Her impression seems to have been very accurate. the beginning of 4 more years http://www.nypost.com/seven/09252008/news/politics/palin_wows_pak_prez_130633.htm PALIN WOWS PAK PREZ Sarah Palin is a knockout, the new leader of Pakistan said yesterday after meeting her. "You are even more gorgeous than you are on the [TV]," gushed Pakistan President Asif Ali Zardari, while greeting the GOP vice-presidential nominee at the InterContinental hotel yesterday. "You are so nice. Thank you," Palin said. "Now I know why the whole of America is crazy about you," Zardari said. But Zardari quipped he's so wowed by Palin's beauty that a handshake wasn't enough. "I might hug," he said to laughter. Both were in town for the UN General Assembly session. Palin said she's learned one important lesson from her New York meetings with heads of state: They admire America. "A lot of good people share an appreciation for America," she said. Palin, a first-term Alaska governor, has taken heat from Democrats over her limited global experience.
What the hell else is new.. Today differs from yesterday only in the location it happens. Monday - "Bombs blow the f#ck out of 300 people in (put name of poor middle-eastern country here), US concerned." Tuesday - "Man drives explosive gulf cart into fine restaurant of Jewish children this morning in Israeli, suspect forgets to detonate explosives, US begins talks with Israeli into more gulf cart regulations." Wednesday - "Thousands die in spontaneous combustion right before terrorist blows himself up in (put name of poor middle-eastern country here), US and Israeli wage war on spontaneous combustion- begin allied talks with terrorists." Ayyyiyi, when the hell will people stop blowing each other up? Maybe if we just stop reporting it, people will stop trying to get their name on the news. *Edit, i realize this post isn't entirely relevant to the thread, but keep it here as a monument to my drunkenness.
The terrorists want the events publicized to spread terror. The extremists also want to kill but to cover it up as much as possible. I'm not drunk Too much effort
US drone strike kills four A MISSILE strike by a suspected US spy drone hit a house in a Pakistani tribal area bordering Afghanistan, killing at least four people and wounding nine, security officials said today. The attack happened shortly after Pashtun tribesmen shot at three drones circling the village of Khusali Toorikhel in North Waziristan, a known haunt of Taliban and Al-Qaeda militants. "After the drones came under fire a missile hit a house in the village. We have four dead now and another nine people were injured," a local security official said.
