yup!! order out of chaos. who gain from this? Gotta keep the pipelines built. US wants nothing more than to support someone who is doing a great job of cracking down and destabilizing another middle eastern country.
Another country under the Zionists' control!! That was easy, only one asassination, and one martial law, to make it happen. This is getting too easy for them. Israel must be smiling today, another country under its heel, via US proxy. ---------------------------------------------------- US military beefs up Pakistan forceBy Bruce Loudon December 28, 2007 12:01am Article from: Font size: + - Send this article: Print Email US Special Forces are to increase their presence in Pakistan amid assessments that the country is to become the central battlefield for al-Qaida as it is driven from Iraq. "Pakistan should be carefully watched because it could prove to be a significant flashpoint in the coming year," US think tank Strategic Forecasting said in an evaluation of al-Qaida's tactics as the Islamist group comes under mounting pressure in Iraq. With the "rapid spread of Talibanisation" in Pakistan's insurgent northwest, the country would become "especially important if the trend in Iraq continues to go against the jihadis and they are driven from Iraq", the assessment said. "As the global headquarters for the al-Qaida leadership, Pakistan has long been a significant stronghold on the ideological battlefield. If the trend towards radicalisation continues, the country could become the new centre of gravity for the jihadi movement on the physical battlefield." The Stratfor assessment coincided with reports from Washington suggesting US Special Forces would expand their presence in Pakistan in the new year. The boost in US forces was part of an effort to train and support Pakistan's army in its fight to stem the al-Qaida and Taliban-linked insurgency. The Washington reports reflected Pentagon frustration with the Pakistani counter-insurgency effort, and said the head of the US Special Operations Command, Admiral Eric T. Olson, had made a series of visits to the country for discussions with senior military leaders. "The first US (Special Forces) personnel could be on the ground in Pakistan early in the new year", the report said. US Central Command chief Admiral William Fallon said the US forces would provide training and mentoring based on the US experience with the insurgencies in Iraq and Afghanistan. No immediate independent confirmation of the deployment was available in Islamabad. But the US reports coincided with the disclosure of an ambitious 15-year "anti-terror investment plan" for Pakistan that has been high on the agenda of US Deputy Secretary of State John Negroponte in recent visits to Islamabad. According to reports in Pakistan, areas in the North West Frontier Province, the federally administered tribal areas, Baluchistan and Pakistan-controlled Kashmir were earmarked for investment that would boost education and employment in an effort to wean local tribesmen away from their support for the jihadi movement. The area, seen as crucial in the battle against al-Qaida and the Taliban, was the subject of a summit meeting in Islamabad involving President Pervez Musharraf and his Afghan counterpart, Hamid Karzai. The two leaders held what sources described as "unusually cordial and friendly" meetings on how to boost co-operation in the war against the jihadis. They agreed to intensify their exchanges of intelligence, something Mr Musharraf described as "the key to fighting and enhancing our capability against terrorists and extremists". Mr Karzai said: "Afghanistan and Pakistan are twins. More than that, they are joined at the body."
TT2, surely you are not serious? A Zionist conspiracy? I don't understand the hatred towards Israel. I truly don't. It's illogical and yet it persists throughout the ages. All Israel wants to do is exist in peace. And yet they are constantly being attacked. If not physically, verbally like you are doing.
After Iraq, US troops will not fight anywhere unless their direct direct interests are involved. Pakistan is the worst place to fight a guerilla warfare. Btw, the situation is Iraq has improved as Iran has backed out of the support to AQ in order to get clean bill of health on nuke issues. However, they can reescalate hostility at any time. So currently it is Iran 1 US 0 on the field. Stay tuned for more action.............
Iran does not support Al-Qaeda. It supports the Shia militias. Not the same thing. As for Pakistan, I can't think of a single overtly Islamist figure who's even close to seizing power there. However, you have the Pakistani army, that happily diverts American money to fund terrorism in India and turmoil in Afghanistan.
Are u in ur senses? Pakistan has been destroyed by the illegal immigrants from Afghanistan who have infested our country with drugs, illegal weapons and suicide bombers. Those Afghanis have no work in Afghanistan, they illegally cross the border, and carry out illegal trade and are involved in all sorts of illegal activities and at the end all blame comes on Pakistan. and btw pakistan isnt like afghanistan or iraq, Its a nuclear armed state and much more advanced than what iraq (dont even talk about afghanistan....all thats there is rocks .....stone age)can even think of becoming in 20 years. moreover its a key ally of USA and has remained an ally for the last 60 years. Not to mention the great friendship with China. Do you seriously think China would allow US in the region? or even russia?
heh heh yeah man their fighters still ride horses and stuff over there. I am serious. Pretty bizarre stuff to see.
btw real life is not like u see in '24' nuclear weapons are not stored in armed state but are are in the shape of separate components which have not much worth in that shape. no terrorist organization(or even most countries with teams of scientists) can use the components to build a nuclear bomb(and we havnt even discussed the issue of payload delivery) even if such components get in the hand of north korea etc. it would probably take them years before they can even build one
