Just curious, after 9/11, did you think bin Laden would still be
running
loose three years later? I sure as hell didn't. I figured six months,
a
year at the outside, and he would be brought to justice. The most
powerful country on this planet, and he is still rubbing our nose in
it.
I blame Bush for that, who the hell do you blame?

I blame the Pakistani people who are willing to overthrow Musharraf if he
allows US troops into Northwestern Pakistan with the intent to
permanently
entomb bin Laden's ass in the cave he's hiding in.

Pakistan is an Arabic nuclear power, but with a level-headed US-friendly
guy
in charge (at least "somewhat" in charge). There have been several
attempts
already on Musharraf's life...two of them coming when Pakistani forces
pushed the furthest into Waziristan. Because of the nukes, our hands are
tied...which is precisely why we must move the war on terror into Iran
before they're a nuclear power. Do you think we would have invaded
Afghanistan if the Taliban had nukes?

I think that Bush, AFTER THE ELECTION, must say: The fact that a
terrorist
supporting country has nuclear weapons does not mean that they are immune
from attack, it just means that nuclear weapons are now authorized to be
used on them. Up the ante by upping the threat if they have nuclear
weapons.


That doctrine is already in place. However, the terrorist-sponsoring
countries like Iran continue to wage an atypical clandestine war against the
US by outsourcing the murder of Westerners to radical Islamic groups like
Hezbollah, Islamic Jihad, and al Qaeda. The only way to stop this practice
is to move the war to their backyards...but that means doing so before these
countries get nukes that they can use on our troops.

Pakistan is a perfect example. We know bin Laden is there, but we're afraid
that sending troops into the Northwestern portion of the country would lead
to a coup against Musharraf, and put the radical Islamic elements of their
intel agency in charge of the nuke button.
