Like deepiron said, the problem with pakistan is we cant go attacking the talibanis with impunity through pakistan because they have nukes.

Everyone knows if you get nukes you're safe from military action... just ask kim jong il!

They do not have global range, but they could arrange some device getting smuggled around. however, one could tell them that if they dare to play that card one would nuke them and all their country back to the age when life on earth consisted of cellular slime floating in water. Pakistan'S role in supporting islamic terror and the taleban, as well as it's dubios - at best - role in nuclear trafficking must be brought to a halt irreversibly. i think this must become an unconditional imperative of western politics. In my eyes Pakistan is the most dangerous and split-tongued country in the world, and it'S relgious ideology is primary reason for that. Neither North Korea nor Iran compares to them, currently at least. therefore i do not accept to obey a rule saying that we must accept that we cannot act against them because they threaten with their bomb. threatening with bombs is something we can do, too - with many, many more bombs of far greater range.

Infiltrating Pakistan by man-intelligence and finding out where they hide them, also should be considered an absolute top priority. I do not know in how far diplomatic sensibilities probably prevent this currently.

Show us the error of our ways and we shall follow your lead.


But alas I know what action you will take NOTHING. You're a frikin' bunch of highminded fakes and frauds crying for peace like a bunch of school girls. Your action for global peace and harmoney is nothing more than sticking your heads in the sand hoping the bad man will just go away. You sit on your arses while Russia wages war for your winter oil supply. And STILL all you can do is armchair quarterback what the U.S. should do in Pakistan?

For cryin out loud Russia just attacked someone what should we do eurogirls? Show us the way please, we need your help. I am sooo ashamed of our actions in Pakistan please show us how it's done.


Ya freaks. LOL LOL LOL at you
I think we just found our next representative to the UN!!!

Problem is, theres so many people in positions of power in pakistan who would gladly die to set off a nuke in say, washington DC. One basic and common point of these extremists is they dont care who dies as long as they achieve their goals. the threat of being nuked in retaliation doesnt worry these freaks..

How about posting more and more troops along the border region with "shoot-on-sight-upon-crossing-ze-border" order?

Look at a topographic map of the the area, and you have your answer: too rugged terrain, mountains and valleys. It simply does not work.

Major parts of their intelligence and military are pro-Taleban, and now a mentally ill madman has come to power. Feel better?

This was an argument over a curry delivery to a special forces outpost. Once a reasonable tip was handed over, all was well.

This time it was shooting into the air only, giving tribesmen the time to take defensive positions against the americans.

And next time?

If you want to win Afghanistan, Pakistan must be neutralised to be safe haven for the enemy - at all cost. As long as Pakistan remains to be untouchable, options in Afghanistan are meaningless. It needs to be understood that Pakistan never was a real ally, and today with the unfolding political drama in Islamabad is more an enemy than ever before. Pakistan is not the key for solving problems - it is the cause of the problems.
