Then we were following al queda/taliban/whatever through the ill defined border between the countries, not launching strikes that aimed for Pakistani-specific targets. Yeah its a lot of gray bullshit. I'm just not happy with the way it has been handled.<BR/><BR/>And of course the Pakistani gov is a hollow ally, accepting money from us to build up its defenses with India while not doing enough to patrol their border with Afghanistan, but dropping troops in Pakastan's cities is not going to help us get the country's support anymore.<BR/><BR/>And no Matt, I wasn't pleased when Obama made his comments regarding similar action in Pakistan. He's not my fucking holy savior, but he's a lot better of a candidate then I've had to vote for so far. No need to attack me. <BR/><BR/>Sovereign borders are not red tape.Warped Coastershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02297499412024653042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4524334772494648795.post-90069946650509239272008-09-17T15:11:00.000-05:002008-09-17T15:11:00.000-05:00also, if they are our "allies" why the fuck won't ...also, if they are our "allies" why the fuck won't THEY kill "our" enemies? the reason why the red tape was crossed here is because time and time again, when we work as a coalition force, the amount of red tape is endless and nothing gets done.<BR/><BR/>unfortunately, that means we have to do our jobs and everyone else's at the same time.<BR/><BR/>working as a coalition provided just enough red tape delay to allow a convoy with bin laden in it to escape afghanistan back in '01.odaniembhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12766380720911659181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4524334772494648795.post-83960896398418864802008-09-17T15:06:00.000-05:002008-09-17T15:06:00.000-05:00these types of operations been going on for a real...these types of operations been going on for a really long time.<BR/><BR/>yes, civilians are getting maimed, but is that a result of us dropping nukes into elementary schools or our enemies operating among civilians? it's not like these dudes are operating in some secret hideaway deep in the wilderness far. far away from civilians.<BR/><BR/>furthermore, in this assymetric war on terror, please define civilian.<BR/><BR/>you should also be more specific about who in pakistan is pissed at us. the people that supported bhutto were the assholes and that party is most likely the one with their panties in a bunch. that party all but ousted musharraf he was possibly our last hope in that country.<BR/><BR/>this is exactly the type of operation that saint barack obama his highness has been pushing for such a long time. if it were president obama that authorized this and not president bush, would you pissed about it? nope.odaniembhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12766380720911659181noreply@blogger.com
