I don't think the flow of drugs through Pakistan to Iran and the flow back of weapons and explosives should be linked directly to the Iranian regime, but rather the illegal cartels who operate across those porous borders.

I offer this up as proof positive that mister Margolis wouldn't know his elbow from his arsehol;e: how many military men on this and other forums are perpetually looking on the bright side of life?

Fascinating. :)

They're called dags and you are quite right, mess with us and you get them. Well call it MAD, for Mutually Assured Dags. Lets see our enemies maintain proper hygiene with those hanging off their bum...

I wonder what foul plan the yankees have for seizing our sheep when us kiwis inevitably go postal....

no ones ever accused Newton of being likeable. ;) I have read an account where Newtons comment about standing on the shoulders of giants was actually a subtlish sneer at Leibniz, who was extremely short :lol:

"In the realm of spirit, seek clarity; in the material world, seek utility." Gottfried Leibniz Smart man, Leibniz.

Given the nature of the way Pakistan stores it's nukes, namely the conventional explosive triggers in separate locations to the nuclear material, it's extremely unlikely that the scenarios of some rogue PA elements assembling them and giving them to the Talibunnies would play out. Also given...

Thank you My thoughts exactly. I'd suggest the original posters intent was to enflame you for his personal entertainment. If anything, an example of how words can be misused for bad purpose. Any message, no matter how wise, can be interpreted to justify evil deeds, but those evil deeds exist...

Well, personally I'm what you fellas might call a godless pagan and frankly Islam, Christianity and for all I know Judaism have all had a fair crack at killing my kith and kin based on the 'good books'. All this 'your doctrine says kill' 'no your doctrine is worse' argument is all the same to...

Tie me up, tie me down was better;)

Ah yes, the usual internet bullshyt where people quoting each other is somehow supposed to make what they say the truth.

You are a child. You speak and think as a child. This I don't mind as the young must learn but you also debate as a child, happy in your ignorance, offering nothing but personal abuse and false statements unsupportable by facts. This reply is the only one you'll get from me unless you...

Natural resources also come from none muslim lands. I don't think that is a reason d'etre for the 'many people hate us' claim you made. Also I'm not aware of any great antipathy toward a lot of Muslim lands. Turkey, Kuwait, Jordan, Egypt, Oman, U.A.E., Indonesia spring to mind quickly. So how...

Why is that do you think?

Which is why the US aid should be given directly to the FC in the form of training and equipment, including their own helicopters.

Quite true. What is needed is a surge along the same lines as Iraq but tasked specifically with securing the borders. It would be nice to see effective strikes against irhabi training bases and HQ's within Waziristan and the NWFP as well but that's an issue for the GoP and ISAF to sort out...

Oh, you know, built schools, wells, houses, universities, etc. Made friends with the locals and driven the Talibunnies from being a Afghan based operation to a Pakistan based one to such an extent the Talibunnies now find it more expedient to view Pakistan as it's current target and take over...

Not quite. The US will do whatever it considers to be in it's own best interests, as any rational player in the great game would do. As the worlds interests will be focused on the middle east for the next fifty years, it's logical to assume the US will maintain a strong presence in the area for...

As a friend of mine pointed out, the US doesn't threaten to do things unless it has the immediate wherewithal to do it. Given the scale necessary to invade and reduce SWAT, presumably with if not hindrance absolutely no help from the PA, I severely doubt the US has the immediate capabilities to...
