No, it won't offset the benefit of the current stability there.


I don't know if any good thing could come from a gov't. collapse in Pakistan, Iron...When you consider that we won't be able to move in fast enough to prevent the removal of one or more of the atomic weapon's in Pakistan's stockpile. I'm sure that the Pentagon is scrambling up something like a Delta-force raid, or a quick Carrier-airstrike in case they have to move fast, but things' are moving fast, they may not have time to get proper intel. It's really a scary situation, when you think about it.

You're right, could be a real nightmare.

Looks like the US and our brainless leader are about as popular as cancer in Pakistan:
Osama 46%
Musharraf 38%
Bush 9%

Yes indeed, Osama bin Laden, alleged mass murder of US citizens and terrorist extrodinairre, is more popular than President Musharraf, and practically a hero compared to Bush.

4% said the US had a good motivation in the war on terrorism
81% related an unfavorable opinion of the US... btw the poll indicates US foreign policies is the root of the dislike...gee, imagine that.

Opinion poll Link

Official British Army report Brits & US are in "breach" of the Geneva Convention:
Link

The US propped up Al-Qaeda, they turned on us, Saddam was once our little friend too. Lets not forget Iran was once an ally, albeit forced, but not anymore. I'm sensing a pattern here.

Our politicians need to work on their interpersonal relationship skills, or lack thereof... looks like another friend is about to go "Adam henry"... and they have nukes... happy times.

I bet Osama's popularity has declined there since 9/11, to be expected I suppose. What has he done to the great satan lately?

Thats hardly new, Islamic nutbergers have been the rule there since the late 70's, when Booosh was still a partying-frat-boy. There simply ARE more Bin Laden types over there than anything else, and no politician is gonna talk those people out of their 'jumpstart-to-the-13 century' attitudes

Yeah, Bj, but if you pause to consider, We haven't had big problems in Pakistan 'till lately, when we went in after Osama. And one thing that seemed to be amiss in our planning, was trying to keep the conflict from spreading. That, however, is solely, and squarely, "Booosh's fault," as so many here on this board like to say.

No REMF, Air-Nat. guard service shirkin' jerk should have been allowed to have control over 19 yr. old kids' that actually are willing to serve, IMHO.

We didnt go into Pakistan, and as far as waging a war in Afghanistan against the salamanders who started it all against us, if their sympathizers in Pakistan are bummed, nothing much we can do about it

I didn't say they wern't slanted one way or another, however the BBC tends to focus more on world news and only important stuff in the US.

I don't have to hear if Britney spears dropped her baby or if Oj Simpson had a bad hair day. US news has turned to total crap and it's nothing more than entertainment TV at this point.

The BBC also doesnt  have anywhere near the fear mongering that the typical US news feeds on these days.
