Clinton: Pakistan 'mortal threat' to world

A number of experts think that Pakistan is of highest concern, so I think Clinton is bang-on.
 
We wouldn't be attacking Pakistan we'd be attacking the Taliban.

So you'd have no problem with the Mexican Army rolling into San Diego and shooting the place up, because they weren't fighting "us", they were fighting drug dealers?

I doubt the Pakistani Gov wants the Taliban in their country.
 
Pakistan needs to get on this before they lose their country. If they can't do it, we'd be pleased to help.
 
Because as usual you want to avoid a discussion, you pull this card.


The point is, people are anti-war until thier guy gets in power.

Most of the people that were against the war in Iraq were not against the war in Afghanistan. Its not so much as being anti all wars, but rather anti-unnecessary wars.

There's a lot of truth in that. If it was someone, that was a known conservative republican, stating the same facts about Pakistan as Hillery Clinton is, you would be behind him 100%, I suspect.

But since it's Hillery, and shes a democrat, it HAS to be horsey-poo, right?

Got it..... :cool:

I'm sure the name Clinton has a lot to do with it as well.
 

we have been overextended because the military was committed to an area they should not have been in. That will end soon, and we can go back to the important work of fighting the conflicts that matter, instead of manufacturing wars out of personal revenge.
 

Yes gottahurt. Yes. We ALL know how much you care about the troops weariness and over extension of the military to the point where we can't potentially enter into another front to deal with possibly a fringe person or group getting control of nukes. We all know you care SOOOOO much about that....

Silly Democrats, when will they learn. We're not leaving Iraq, and yes, we will be bombing Iran. Get used to it.

There's no plan to invade Iran, nor is there any reason to.

The plan is to bomb Iran, take out it's missile systems, it's air force, it's nuclear production sites and a few command and control centers.

No ground troops needed.

We cannot live with a nuclear Iran, because our allie, Israel, cannot live with a nuclear Iran.

We're supposed to trust this man, this country....

Ahmadinejad unveils world without Israel | Jerusalem Post

...with nuclear weapons? I don't think so.

I support killing all the insurgents, then taking a small break to resupply, then cranking the war machine back up, and directing it straight into Iran.

Killing is hard work, and we have a lot of hard work to do in the middle east.

God Bless America.

With the exception of God Bless America, I jest, to protest the sillyness of this thread.

I do however, support the bombing of the nuclear facilities in Iran. They've proven over the last 28 years to be very unstable, and cannot be trusted with nukes.

IRAN or BUST!!!!

We're there, let's just clean house and make the middle east a nice-n-tidy extension of us.

I mean, the democrats aren't going to do anything, like defund the war, or troop withdrawal. Sure, Harry Reid will squawk a bit, Kennedy will proclaim it another "quagmire", Ron Paul will have an anurism, the far left will have a rally, then a gay pride parade, the rest of us will be shocked initially, then we'll check our messages, grab some fast food, and go about our normal business...

I say nuke Iran, look at how Japan rose up out of the ashes, a strong economic allie for us.

YEP! Gotta look out for that over extended military. Gotta ignore possible fringe lunatic groups of people getting ahold of nukes. Gotta avoid starting another front. Yep Yep Yep! TOOO over extended to start ANYTHING else, thanks for that insight Gottahurt.
 
So will you be signing up to fight, or will you be pleased to simply send other people? ;)

I believe I said those very words to a war-hawkish poster some years back when discussing Iraq.

It's as if the right is going left and the left is going right?

If I ever hear some lefty say, "If you don't support the war in Pakistan, you don't support our troops," like the pro-war right did some years back, I'm gonna hurl. But, you know, it might happen. :shock:

Up will be down, in will be out, and the whole world will be just one big flip-flop.

Just throwin a little back at the dems who are always claiming how we're over extended, until it's their guy doing it.

First statement is factual, we're not leaving Iraq. Iran will be bombed, probably via proxy.

Second, pretty accurate.

Third, posing a legitimate question.

Four Five & Six, in jest. Nice try though Zyph.
 
Amazing how under Bush Pakistan was an ally, under Obama it's a high concern...

Bush did what he could to prop up the Pakistan government, and minimized actions that would destabalize it... Obama said "I'll send in the troops!" now nuclear armed Pakistan is on the verge of collapse and being over run by the Taliban.

I bet Bush will take the blame for it too.. you watch.

Dear Leader is about to learn the hard way that when your enemies believe you will avoid war anywhere, you will be faced with war everywhere.
