Why are third world-minded people so frightened of lasers?

Yeah, they're not like us modern, sophisticated, enlightened populations.

We only believe that the earth god is displeased with all of our exhaling.

Given the part of the world in which Pakistan is located, I would point the finger at Bigfoot’s cousin, Yeti. He was last seen hotfooting it over the Hindu Kush. So, BOLO...

Bhutto's wounds were caused not by bullets but by some sort of laser weapon, or perhaps a BB gun of unusual power:

Barrack Hussein Oboma said we were bombing the wrong country (he was talking about Afghanistan). He said we should be bombing Pakistan instead. Not a good idea while our Troops in Afghanistan are getting 75% of their supply through Pakistan. PO Pakistan and how are we going to get our Troops supplied in Afghanistan. I just wonder if Hussein Oboma and Hallarious think about this kind of stuff? I highly doubt it.

That’s sort of what I thought. The ones I saw were BIG...certainly not very portable...not so much of their size per-se, but because of the power required to operate them! The guys running the lab I used to visit soaked up more power per month than a BIG data center just up the road!

I have not heard that Bhutto was friendly with the Taliban. I don’t think Mush did it. I think Al Qeada did, since they were the first to claim credit for her death (I believe they backed down from that claim, but could be because of the backlash from Bhutto supporters). Mush had his Presidency locked up in the October elections. Bhutto was running for Prime Minister, not President. I don’t think Mush had to worry about his job since Bhutto wasn’t running for the same position. I don’t think Hillarious knew that when she made her claim because she said Mush did it because of competition. What competition? Mush already won his election.

Well, I look at the 19 hijackers and Saudi like this:

al qeada is an International terrorist group. They could have placed almost any Nationality they wanted on those planes, but they choose Saudis. I think bin laden thought we would take out Saudi Arabia because of this. This would not be a good idea because the power vacuum that would be created there would allow the types of bin laden (if not bin laden himself) to take over Saudi Arabia. It is not like these people are not fighting in Afghanistan and Iraq for power. They would do the same in Saudi Arabia. There are a lot of bad guys in Saudi Arabia. IT comes from the wahabist. I am glad we went to Afghanistan and removed the taliban and al qeada from power there. This is where the plan originated from, in my view. I am also glad that we went to Iraq.

We signed a cease fire in Iraq at the end of the first Gulf War. We did not sign a peace treaty. A cease fire says we are still at war. hussein abused this public law and we upheld it. hussein had twelve years to comply and 17 resolutions to prove he was not holding WMDs beyond a doubt. hussein did everything in his power to avoid this. By us going to IRaq, it sent a signal to folks like qaddafi that we will uphold this kind of law, if folks will not comply. Notice that qaddafi gave us all of his WMDs that we knew about. Those WMDs are setting in a mountain in Tennessee right now. He got the message. Some say Syria got the message to and it shows by them pulling out of Lebanon.

Anyhow, that is the way I look at the situation.

There were claims on FR that Bhutto was, at one time, “friendly” to the Taliban. Anybody know if that is true or was true?

Yes, it's true. The Taliban took power in Afghanistan while she was president of Pakistan, and Pakistan helped them to do it. It was an outgrowth of the war in which Pakistan helped the CIA expel Russia from Afghanistan.

There was a good article on this in the Jerusalem Post a week or so ago, and Marc Steyn has also written about it.

Obama is such a dufus. He should be running the snack bar at a bowling alley.

And there is a following of people who look up to him....

Scary to say the least.

You are right and I believe the koranimals come from a strong sect of wahabist. If I spelt that right. These people are brutal animals and the saudi government has a serious problem with them being in their country.
