What should we do about it? Invade Pakistan? Blame Democrats?

Invading Pakistan was Obama’s idea, or um, that of his campaign machine that tells him what to say.

Blame the democrats? I blame certain liberals for a lot, but not this.

There really is not much you can do. Just keep pushing Musharaff to do something.

That seems to be GW’s answer to the “Pakistan Problem”.

By finesse I mean the co-opting of Pakistan that we are now doing. Finesse is allying with Pakistan instead of declaring war against them, or an outright invasion (a la BHO’s past statement).

Pakistan is a mixed bag, with a govt. that verbally supports us, but a basketload of bad actors at every level.

Get it?

You’re right about terrorists needing the boot shoved all the way up. No negotiating with them.

Pressure them to act by isolating, killing, imprisoning, making fun of, extremists in their ranks. Ally them by getting cooperation, including allowing reasonable support for their military actions within their own borders.

No! War is bad. We should treat this as a law enforcement problem and obtain a restraining order against the ISI.

Then we invade Haiti again! There wasn’t a good reason for it then, so let’s keep trying until we find one.

It does zero good to pressure Pakistan if they don’t remain our friends.
Sorry, finesse and subtlety aren’t the strong suits of the oh so smart Democrats

You are right on just second half of statement in itself, not in the entire context…We don’t want “finesse and subtlety” against Islamic terrorists. Do you suggest we should have used the same “tactics” against Taliban in Afghanistan?

What kind of a person are you suggesting finesse against barbarian islamic terrorists? Are you a RINO?

It’s Barack who wants to invade Pakistan. Try reconciling that little tidbit of information with your post.

Not sure what lgm is trying to intend here…but you are right…Barack’s the one who first mentioned about rightly invading Pakistan. Its nothing but an Islamic terrorist state.

I wish Bush had attacked Afghanistan and Pakistan insted of Afghanistan and Iraq.

The British tried to appease the Germans in the 30’s and the battle of Britain is what they got, you know, the, never have so many owed so much to so few, thank God for the few. We have already been down the road of allying with our enemies in WWII we defeated the Nazis, sure, but we were lucky, we walked the razors edge during the cold war. We did what we could to assist the Chinese against the Japanese and look where that got us. Care to play Russian/Chinese/islamist roulette again? If you sit down to dinner with the devil you better use a really long fork.

You hit the nail on the head James Greenige, we can for now hunt down as many as we can but only through the long term thorough discrediting of the ideology will we achieve a measure of victory. Its an abusive ideology the advocacy of abuse coming straight out of their scriptures put forth by their holy men. I occasionally watch a show where a renowned psychiatrist Dr. Stone analyses and rates on a scale of evil former serial killers, I couldn’t help noticing that they all had abusive histories, I figure the islamist ideology gets a 22 rating. Of corse if we did do what you suggest all heck would break loose.
