Sorry...I stand corrected, apparently Pakistan has shut down the NATO convoy route through the Khyber pass.

If the western world doesnt want to affirm its position or defend itself in this planet it doesnt mean others will be so soft.

But hey, let it be our children that have to fight for survival, we can just kiss ass and continue pussyfooting.
So obviously, in order to get Al Qaeda in Afganistan, invading Iraq was the simple way of doing things?

Have i said i was a supporter of Iraq invasion?
I wasnt.
The most important countries to deal with after 911 were Saudi Arabia, Pakistan and Iran.
They still are but im not talking about war as necessity, its more of their choosing.
Im talking about making our position clear on issues concerning our security. If they wont take them seriously but play the middle eastern double game on us they should pay the price.
Again not talking automatically about going to war but they have really gotten an easy pass with their trickery.

Or mercs.

A merc chopper tried to take out the leader of Al-Shabab (a Somali terrorist group).

They sell weapons on the street over there. Finding a gun in Africa is like finding water in the Pacific ocean.

The heavy stuff they probably go though the CIA, remember Air America?

Failing that there is always Wal Mart...

See a few crossbows.

Afganistan is full of weapons but new equipment is provided mainly by Pakistan and Iran, part sold and part donated.
These nice Islamic Republics that want to practice the religion of peace with their peaceful nuclear programs and not be bullied by the West.
