Quetta, Pakistan - Assailants torched more than 20 tankers in Pakistan carrying fuel for U.S. and NATO troops in neighboring Afghanistan on Thursday, in the first reported attack since Islamabad closed the border to protest coalition airstrikes that killed 24 Pakistani troops last month. Several hundred trucks have been stranded at poorly guarded terminals around the country as they wait for Pakistan to reopen its two border crossings into Afghanistan. Around 40 percent of the non-lethal supplies for U.S.-led troops in landlocked Afghanistan travel across Pakistani soil.

Obama is smiling, as he tees up for the next hole.
Hussein promised better relations with the Islamic world. Lies.
Good news in O’blah-blah land.
A big part of the problem is Obama embarrassing the Pakistan government by bragging about the Bin Ladin raid and leaving out the Pakistani government.
Iran is an enemy, Pakistan is an enemy, Egypt will soon be an enemy. Iraq and Afghanistan will be enemies as soon as U.S. troops leave.
Turkey is becoming an enemy.
The Middle East will be a huge mess that will be extremely difficult and costly to fix.
Lets just make this easy.
ISLAM IS The ENEMY
The Middle East will be a huge mess that will be extremely difficult and costly to fix.
Not really. We'll have to nuke these moslem countries eventually. Nukes are relatively cheap. May as well do it now. The only problem is keeping fallout from Egypt from falling onto Israel.
Another foreign policy triumph for Obama - but wait - he did get Bin Laden - never mind.....
In response Pak should have a ton of their oil tankers set on fire and maybe a few of their energy plants as well.
If you take it, they’ll do more.
Every few months the same story runs: “Tankers set ablaze”.
Nearly every time the facts emerge that they were torched intentionally.
When tankers are stranded for whatever reason, the operators, usually local Pakistani companies, sometimes Taliban front companies, pay to have the tankers torched.
The operators need their money right away and their contracts with us give them immediate payment on “insurance” that is taken out on each truck. That insurance is of course paid by us.
If you look at any photos of the tanker fires, you see far less damage than what would be caused by a full tanker. They empty them out to smaller trucks in the dark of night, sell the fuel and call for the arsonists.
No one is getting nuked.
Talk like that makes us seem like idiots.
Talk like that makes us seem like idiots.
Their scriptures command them to enslave or kill every last one of us. The time will come (If the Lord doesn't come back soon) that they will either nuke us or we will nuke them. I'd much rather they be nuked.
Haven't you ever read the koran? It's important to know your enemies.
