I did read the whole post. I do believe NO one is GONNA let the Pakistani nukes go anywhere. We all know this. Everyone who has been reading FR since 2001 knows this.

There have been quite a few posters who have stated that Obama will abandon Afghanistan. In fact many of the people who voted for Obama apparently thought he would. The truth is that US foreign policy is not being controlled by the executive branch and has not for quite some time. Twiddle Dee, Twiddle Dum.

People with drug warrior mentalities are often blinded by hate.

The poppy and goat remark was a metaphor for the lack of strategic resources in that part of the world. The Russians learned their lesson in Afghanistan. Don't commit forces to a war that cannot eventually pay for itself. The US is now over 10 trillion in debt and letting the Russians more or less have their way in Eastern Europe. You don't need a crystal ball to see where this is all heading.

Thanks for the ping. I was just thinking about this list. Have you heard whether they’ve had elections in India yet?

[Sir Francis Dashwood]

The elections startin mid April...

>>The elections startin mid April...

And will last into Mid May.

And it will be an epic battle between the forces of darkness and of light - much like the Kurukshetra scene you’ve displayed.

The nationalist right in India simply has to rise to the occasion and win power else the nincompoop, socialist, muslim-appeasing lefties will drag India further down into the cesspit of nonperformance and poverty.

JMTs of course.
