Sadly, in the case of the Taleban....they are usually deadly serious

I wish Pakistan would gets its act together, and either take back the unruly tribal regions along its boarder, or let the brits and yanks get on with it. I'm sick and tired of our guys fighting them, just for them to run into pakistan and fight another day. I say follow them and bomb them, arrhg!

They never had it and never will, and Pakistan will never allow an foreign army into it. The main problem is that we don't have enough men to seal and patrol the border. Until we get our act together..................

I think if it were that simple the problem would have been resolved 150 years ago.

You really want to send troops into there?

They just need to set the cell phones to never "turn off." Or maybe that region could get special satelite coverage.:hmm:
