Well, THAT Musharaf thing worked out well.
Fine. End all foreign aid to these sand apes.
On the previous thread this was determined to be totally bogus. Nobody believes Pakistanis, they don’t even believe themselves.
Is this any surprise? To anybody?
Whether the U.S. is considering the option, already has the option or is, at this very moment, employing the option, this would be the response of the Pakistani government.
Regardless of what the New York Times might say.
In other words, this is a "news story"...about nothing.
As President, I would say” you have 90 days to Kill Bin Laden . After that we will be camping in your country until we kill the sob. If you mess with us you will suffer the sting of thousands of helicopter gun ships and we will dominate the air with our bomber and fighter jets. You will be killed by the thousand so stay the hell away until we are finished. Tell the tribal cheifs to drop their little air guns or die real bad— you might want to go get his pathetic head and bring it here and it will be easier on you”
Bet Hillary wouldn’t do that.
general observations -
1) No way on this planet Pak. gives PUBLIC permission for this. Of course they deny permission/deny they will give permission when the story breaks, duh. It would be tremendously stupid to give public permission.
2) What happens in the sticks is another matter, though in fact the denial may be real. Apparently it is being discussed. I (and almost all other freepers) presumably don’t know what is actually being worked out or not, successfully or not. I certainly don’t expect a pakistani press release detailing the areas (if any) where US forces will be allowed to operate in any capacity.
3) Do freepers as a rule understand #1? This thread doesn’t imply so.
This is the New York Times stirring up trouble.
The Musharraf government can invite U.S. covert forces and air strikes into the outlaw border regions and deny it publicly.
They are committing treason by my reading of the law.
Maybe then a lot of people living in this country would realize that we are at war and that we could lose.
I thought that the frontier provences were given their autonomy. Kinda cuts both ways. They are arguably NOT part of Pakistan.
It’s always better to ask forgiveness than permission.
