The "Afgahnistanis" are more usually termed "Afghans". My take is that the US is using drone strikes and other crossborder operations to erode the credibility of the Government of Pakistan with a view to splitting up the country like it did with the USSR, Sudan, Yugoslavia and elsewhere. It is...

Somebody please correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't it simply rude to correct a fellow Muslim in front of non-Muslims? Can this simply be a matter of courtesy rather than a reflection of who controls who?

This is an assumption. Israel would consider Pakistan a potential proliferator of nuclear weapons to its immediate enemies and therefore a threat.

Tiki Tam Tam, Your full list of candidates is China, India, Israel, USA and "terrorists". Given that anti-submarine assets were the target, I would begin by eliminating anyone who had no submarines with a deployed set of sea-to-land missiles. That leaves India, Israel and the USA...

Response to Muhammad-Bin-Qasim The problem however is that Communists kinda lost direction somewhere... This is a Pandora's Box. You can argue it happened when Lenin, who may well have been financed by the Rothschilds, died and the leadership fell to Stalin, a disciple of Gurdjieff. You can...

Capt./Mr. Powers resisted interrogation until his interrogators showed him his plane was booby-trapped and he would have lost more than his legs if he had hit the ejection lever. Feeling betrayed by his own people, that's when he turned state's evidence and confessed all during a press...

This is a tad odd: The otherwise astute supercautious Russian foreign minister talks as if he has fallen prey to the notion that Usama bin Laden had something to do with 9/11. If his wanted poster is still on the FBI website, you will see he was never wanted for that particular operation.

You raise an interesting point, PN: Nobody needs to cart away the launch vehicles when all the fun is in the warheads, but still, they would take lots of time to unbolt and serious airlift capacity to cart off. How many stealth helicopters would it take? Plus all the folks you need to gatecrash...

I've been reading up on this thread with only a vague wish to sign up but finally did so. I signed up because I was just thinking that contributors here might benefit from adding the following to their personal libraries: Confessions of an Economic Hitman by John Perkins The Shock...
