State sponsored terrorism from a nation that has the a-bomb.
"The UK is giving Pakistan two weeks to smoke out the three imams, and it wants its own forces to raid the suspected premises..."
Oh yeah? Really??
And just what is the UK planning to do if Pakistan dosent comply? Give them Eurofighters I suppose.
it may or may not be true, i suspect a fair amount of disinformation about helpful muslim governments is disseminated by the west to try to give them cover for helping us.
The Pakistanis no doubt know where Bin Laden is, if he's actually alive. They are obstructionists. I think Bush's courting of India, a true friend, was smart. PAkistan, with its harboring terrorist mentality, is working on its own anniliation.
What happened to going after Terrorists AND any countries that harbor them?
Musharraf knows that he will be overthrown by radicals if he does not provide sanctuary.
Musharraf also knows that Pakistan will be invaded by the U.S. if he does not control
his nuclear weapons and occasionally toss us a bone.
The radicals also understand that they would lose their sanctuary if not for Musharraf.
So they bide their time and grow in Pakistan.
Mission: Operation Carpet Sweeper. Place: Pakistan
Mission objectives: Clean out terrorist rat nests- de nuke pakistan- install secular government.
Pakistan raiding the Binori mosque would be something else.
Bernard Henri Levy (Who Killed Danny Pearl) speculates on its pivotal role in Jihad. Others have speculated that this was where Osama hid from ToraBora onwards thru the winter and spring of 2002. Perhaps Danny stumbled on some intriguing hints about this.
But even tho Indira Gandhi smashed the Paki sponsored Khalistanis by raiding the Golden Temple, I doubt Mush would have the guts to do this, even IF he actually wanted to.
Now I got to wrack my brain to remember the brainiac who was arguing (on a Tancredo thread) early this morning that as long as we pretent that muslim are our helpful friends in the war on terror, we can pretend that they actually help.
