I blame those that voted for Obama for the coming collapse of the world into anarchy. McCain is a nutcase but he's no panty waist or foot washing Muslim when it comes to defending the US. Pakistan if taken over by the Taliban will turn on India IMO asap. From there Iran and Pakistan will change the political picture in Iraq and Afghanistan negating any positive direction that has been made in the last eight years. Israel is toast.

“Pakistan is a ‘mortal threat’ to world...”

So is Islamic Supremacist ideology and the imperialist conquest of Islam and the theocratic rule of Islamic states.

But we can learn to accept diversity even if they are violently intolerant, right?

“when does President Obama officially declare war on Pakistan?”

Can you imagine how the left would HOWL about that? How they just want us to knuckle under the thumb, elbow, fist, foot of extremists around the world for the cause of ‘peeeeeees’. What will the lefties do when confronted with reality? What will the pravdas do when reality smacks them upside the head?

Is this the TEST that “Plugs” warned us about?
If we have to go into Pakistan it will be one great Fallujah. Typical Democrat use of our troops. Put them in a no win position and accept the casualties. Just like Truman in Korea, Kennedy/Johnson in Vietnam. Yup folks "GIRD YOUR LOINS" for they are about to be bleed...

So - what would George Bush do? He had his flaws, foreign policy wasn’t one of them. We are 100 days into Great Leader’s dream-world. What will things look like in another 50?

Right, and even if the Muslims ‘hate’ women, rape them, and kill them, kill innocent civilians, etc., etc., they’re still better than George W. Bush and need to be ‘protected’ by US due process laws. Can you believe these lefties insane ideas?

"A VERY strongly worded letter of concern from the “world community.”

This crisis is rapidly escalating to the brink of stern memos and harsh communiqués!

It's not fear mongering when the RATs say it.

I think they’re very afraid of failing in this crisis, which probably means they’ll fail in this crisis. To the detriment of the world. We all knew this was coming. Dear leader is like a no-term senator with no experience...hmmm...like a deer in the headlights of the teleprompter...what is it telling me to say? What is it telling me to SAY?

We’re so screwed. God help the people that have to try to go in and fix this mess of Obama worship’s making.

Maybe I’m just missing something .... how many “Taleban fighters” are involved in this stuff? If the Pakistani gov’t has responded by deploying “100 paramilitary troops,” it just doesn’t sound like all that many.

This is troublesome to say the least. A muslim state with a nuclear arsenal?

The Taliban is just crazy. I bet Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Iraq are all more than a bit nervous now.

Heck they will probably PAY Israel to take out Iran who looks to get a nuclear warheads for some of their missiles now.

Worse yet we have a bunch of adolescents in the white house now! Bad things are about to get much worse.

Leftists in America came out against Christian missionaries going into Iraq after the war. They say that we are interfering and violating their soverignty of their culture.

Yet Islamists are welcome to bring their beliefs to our country.

Freedom of Religion was given by God, not man. It was a founding principle of this nation. Regardless of the government. Regardless of the nation, man has some basic freedoms.

Agree. This story makes it sound like the fall of Pakistan is imminent, yet out of a population of 165 million, all they can come up with to defend against a Taliban overthrow is 100 troops? This story is not funny enough to be satire, otherwise I might think it was published by the Onion.

Unless the threat comes strolling across the southern border.

I remember before the election I said that if bozo the clown gets in then he will do more damage to this country than any other enemy right now

the loony left are our biggest enemies right now.

Bozo says no to charges the it is we’ll see what the AG says and now he has changed again.

The white house is being run by kids who have just left school and bozo here hasn’t got a clue to what he is doing

I talked to my sister in England and she said that everyone over there after his trip is saying he looks out of his depth and that he lacks experience

It may be a large percentage of the set of troops willing to fight, and perhaps die, for the current regime.
