Pakistan’s Collapse, Our Problem – New York Times: “AS the government of Pakistan totters, we must face a fact: the United States simply could not stand by as a nuclear-armed Pakistan descended into the abyss. Nor would it be strategically prudent to withdraw our forces from an improving situation in Iraq to cope with a deteriorating one in Pakistan. We need to think — now — about our feasible military options in Pakistan, should it really come to that.

WorldNetDaily: Musharraf: The Tolstoy of the Zulus: Media darling Bhutto returned to Pakistan after fleeing the country following her conviction for corruption as prime minister. Her conviction was later overturned by the corrupt Pakistani Supreme Court, leaving me to ponder, which is worse: being convicted of corruption in a Pakistani court or being exonerated of corruption in a Pakistani court? She was again convicted in a Swiss court of money laundering.
The media adore Bhutto because she went to Harvard and Oxford, which I consider two more strikes against her. A degree from Harvard is prima facie evidence that she’s on the side of the terrorists. I note that Bhutto demonstrates her own deep commitment to democracy by giving herself the title “chairperson for life” of the Pakistan Peoples Party.

“Pakistan doesn’t need Adlai Stevenson right now. It needs Mustafa Kemal Ataturk to impose military rule and drag a country of Islamic savages into the 19th century, as Ataturk did in Turkey. Pakistan’s Ataturk is Gen. Musharraf. To try to force democracy on the differing ‘I hate America’ factions in Pakistan at this stage would be worse than Jimmy Carter’s abandonment of the shah in 1979. It would result in what former Assistant Secretary of State Edward Djerejian called: ‘one man, one vote, one time.’ The difference is: Instead of scimitars, this den of al-Qaida-supporting pederasts will have nukes. “

Caroline B. Glick: America’s strategies for victory — and defeat: “Two conclusions can be drawn from contrasting America’s victory in Iraq with its failures in so many other theaters. First, the only way to successfully fight your enemies is to fight them. And second, basing policies on pretending to deter leaders who are not deterred is a recipe for failure. Until the Americans accept these lessons, Iraq aside, the international environment will grow ever more threatening. “

She is correct, American foreign policy with Muslim nations has been a disaster ever since Jimmy Carter.

American Thinker Blog: Report: Taliban Preparing an “End of Ramadan” Offensive: “Report: Taliban Preparing an ‘End of Ramadan’ Offensive

“This disturbing report in the usually reliable Asia Times paints a picture of renewed activity of the Taliban along the border with Afghanistan with as many as 20,000 armed fighters – many of them suicide bombers – preparing to enter the country:”

As long as we allow sanctuary and training camps in Pakistan these things are going to happen.

Critics blast Norwegian aid to ‘Koran schools’ in Pakistan – Aftenposten.no: “‘At a time when people all over the globe are working to fight fundamentalism and terror, the Norwegian authorities chose to sponsor the type of schools known for breeding fundamentalism,’ Høglund claimed. ‘That must end immediately.”At a time when people all over the globe are working to fight fundamentalism and terror, the Norwegian authorities chose to sponsor the type of schools known for breeding fundamentalism,’ Høglund claimed. ‘That must end immediately.’”

Chuck Baldwin — 9/11, Six Years Later: “Yet, President Bush would have us believe that he is fighting a ‘war on terrorism’ by invading Iraq, a country that had absolutely nothing to do with 9/11. However, the war in Iraq has done little to fight terrorism, and has done much to assist it.

Instead of invading a country with no ties to 9/11, we should have followed Ron Paul’s advice. Congress should have passed H.R. 3076, the September 11 Marque and Reprisal Act of 2001, and sent our forces on a specific and narrow mission to take out bin Laden and al-Qaeda.

Chuck Baldwin has a short memory. We did not invade Iraq to fight against the same terrorists who carried out the 9/11 attack. Those who say this are revising history for their own propaganda. We went into Iraq to take out Saddam and his butchers who were terrorists of another type. We went in because all intelligence told us they had WMD capabilities. Almost all Americans were behind this US action.

Even in hindsight we had to invade. If Bush did nothing against Iraq and Saddam had still been in power at the next national election Americans would have dumped Bush and elected someone who would invade Iraq. You probably would have been all for it as well.

If Saddam were still in Iraq today the problems in the Middle East would be worse not better. The terror threat to the US and Israel would be worse not better.

As a Christian, I do not know why you cannot understand that the root evil is Islamofascism and it must be defeated. It does not matter what country the Fascists reside in. Islamofascism must be defeated as an ideology throughout the world or we will have a clash of civilizations that will make World War II look like a small pilot project.

We made some huge mistakes in Iraq just after the invasion and we are paying for those mistakes but the invasion was justified as almost all Americans agreed at the time.

Since you do not seem to know it, we have had a mission to take out Bin Laden and al-Qaeda ever since 9/11. Just passing a bill in Congress does not accomplish this task. If you are implying we can just invade Pakistan without their permission it would make the war in Iraq seem mild in comparison.

It is easy for you to sit there and second guess and bad mouth our elected national leaders with your hindsight but who in the world certified you as an expect on foreign affairs?

You should be preaching the gospel you were trained to preach instead of just pandering to hindsighters, conspiracy nuts and malcontents and preaching a false gospel. Is this what you preach on Sunday?

Saudis Developing Nuclear Weapons – CWN: “Amid the growing controversy over Iran’s nuclear program, new information has emerged to suggest that Iran’s bitter rival, Saudi Arabia, has also been developing nuclear weapons. Saudi Arabia is believed to be building its clandestine nuclear program with the help of nuclear scientists from Pakistan. Earlier this week an Arabic news website published claims that Saudi Arabia has secretly constructed nuclear laboratories beneath several newly-built prisons. According to the magazine Israel Today, the website also ‘cited intelligence reports that indicated the Saudis are constructing a massive underground nuclear center and missile base south of the capital of Riyadh.’ It has long been speculated that Saudi Arabia is developing a nuclear weapons program. In fact, evidence suggests that Saudi Arabia’s quest for the bomb began as early as 1975.”

Oh great! Now we find out that Saudi Arabia also is developing nukes. We can’t let them get nukes either since they are the crib of terrorism. Next decade is not looking very good for the world.

Bush War Adviser Says Draft Worth a Look: “WASHINGTON (AP) – Frequent tours for U.S. forces in Iraq and Afghanistan have stressed the all-volunteer force and made it worth considering a return to a military draft, President Bush’s new war adviser said Friday. ‘I think it makes sense to certainly consider it,’ Army Lt. Gen. Douglas Lute said in an interview with National Public Radio’s ‘All Things Considered.’ ‘And I can tell you, this has always been an option on the table. “

You cannot have a draft in an unpopular war any more. Have you people learned nothing from Vietnam? Rebellion in people would overturn the government and a draft would destroy the professionalism of the military. So consider it if that is what you really want to do and you will be much like Charles Randgel. On the other hand, if there were a nuclear attack on a city and a war against forces in Pakistan and radical Islam everywhere became necessary because of it then their might be enough support for a draft. Expecting a draft to be possible among our young under conditions in the country today is quite delusional.

This article will wake some up to the fact that the Western war against Islamofascism will soon go to another level. If the Islamofascists get control of the nukes in Pakistan India and the United States would have to nuke their nuclear facilities to take them out. Even if some general kept control over the nukes in Pakistan. Most of the country would align with Iran as a Islamofascist axis and that could only end up in world war.

FrontPage magazine.com :: Ceding the Fall of Pakistan by Steve Schippert: “Few if any analyses concern themselves with calculating any likelihood of a Pakistani defeat of the Taliban or al-Qaeda. Likewise, few if any discuss an American-led defeat of the same within Pakistani borders. But each adds its calculus for the life expectancy of the Musharraf regime. There is little alternative but to conclude that we are ceding the collapse of Pakistan and the rise of Islamists aligned with the Taliban-al-Qaeda alliance. The question appears no longer if, but rather when.
