Pakistan Fires It's First Cruise Missile - Don't you feel Safer
with Smirky McJerkoff and his gang in charge?

Hardly a peep out of the US Media about Pakistan testing a nuclear capable cruise missile without warning anybody they were going to do it. It is getting pretty crowded with all these elephants in the room. I wonder if Osama Bin Laden & AQ Kahn could see the missile as it soared past their mountainside villa in Pakistan.

3. Pakistan maybe a better alli to America than the Bush Adminstration.
They are working hard on capturing Bin Laden. So far the main problem with Pakistans efforts has been Bush. They need to keep him out of the loop. Everytime they get close to Bin Laden. Bush freaks out and issues terror alerts, starts ringing bells, blowing whistles, set's off air raid sirens, and stands outside the window of Good Morning America holding a sign that say, Run Osama Run! Pakistan is comming for you.

Fun With Dick And George.

See Osama attack.

See George's polls go up.

Don't see Osama run.

Run Osama Run!

Don't see Dick get rich.

Profit Dick profit!

See Osama attack again.

Live in fear, America, live in fear.

4. Completely wrong. India should be the real U.S. ally in the capturing of
Bin Laden. Pakistan is an almost complete terrorist state. Muhsharref DEFINITELY knows where Bin Laden is, but he knows that if he tells the U.S., he risks being overthrown by the extremists. (which effectively control Pakistani government) Ex-CIA officials have testified to the fact that everytime that the CIA has a good lead on Bin Laden's whereabouts, they ask the Pakistani's to pursue the lead, and magically, twelve hours later the suspected Bin Laden hideout is cleared out. Pakistan harbors more terrorists than Saudi Arabia, and Indian intelligence is much more reliable. Which is why a renewed partnership w/India is essential.

6. That's just GOSSip.
Pakistan had captured an Al Qaida Computer Expert. He was helping them expose other Al Qaida operatives around the world and providing information on Bin ladens where abouts. Then Bush issued a terror alert without informing our allies. That had Britian scrambling to pick up the Al Qaida operatives they were investigating before they bugged out. They were pissed to put it mildly and politely. There was no immenent threat to America. But that terror alert did screw up terror investigations all over the world. Bush would capture Bin Laden if he weren't too busy helping him stay at large. Preserving the threat preserves the war and the huge profits. The sales of boogie man repellant tend to take a nose dive once the boogie man has been captured or exiled to the neather world. Now that we can prove that the war was not about WMD's. Don't take your eye off the dollar. Bush and Cheney are moving Mountains of them from the treasury to off shore. Who knows they might even be planing to use part of those billions for the attacks to get Jeb elected.

8. My hubby is an Asian Indian and we watch the "other" I/P situation
very closely.

This area is a tinderbox and the US ignores it at her citizenry's peril.

If we cooed at India, we'd have Osama within months, I suspect--but that isn't convenient for the neocons.

9. So much for "Star Wars"
I always said the premise would be obsolete before the Death Star would be operational.
