    All Show No Go. Pakistan has always made only superficial incursions. They need to put on a show so they can keep on getting that check from Uncle Sam.

    they're not bazookas, they're RPG rocket launchers, which incidentally are re-loadable. They ARE for real, this weapon is used ALOT in the middle east, I believe it was originally designed by the Russians....but, unlike out AT4 rocket launcher that is one-time use only, this is re-loadable

  • Months back, Obama ...

    Months back, Obama recklessly injects himself into the international dialogue by declaring that if elected president, he'd invade Pakistan, an American ally, if they didn't put forth more of a counter-terrorism effort. This comment only inflamed an already volatile political situation in the nuclear-armed Pakistan. Refresh my memory, when exactly did the chickenhawk Obama serve in the military?

    Another genius who hails from a state that elected Jesse Ventura, a 9/11 twoofer, as its governor. You people should have your franchise pulled for a quarter century for that alone.

    Sorry, I'm impervious to criticism from bongo drummers who live in the Peoples Republic of San Francisco. Has is ever occurred to you that things might appear a lot clearer if you'd only put down your weed pipe for an extended period of time--like a day, perhaps?

    Thanks for the convoluted definition. When's the "Mad Bomber of Kosovo," Gen. Wes Clark, going on trial for war crimes? Was he hoping to spark a nuclear war by bombing that Chinese embassy, the warmonger?

    As a matter of fact I do. -patsagainstrats

    A chickenhawk is someone who strongly supports war, but has never personally been in a war. Furthermore, chickenhawks lack any judgment, moral standing, or experience to make decisions on going to war.

    I'm glad you finally know what it means now. GG

  • On a more relevant ...

    On a more relevant note, I am glad the Pakistani Government has finally decided to disabuse itself from the idea that the Taliban are a reaction to the larger global imperialist agenda. In fact, they have quite proactively and systematically destroyed the writ of the state in what is now an increasingly intractable situation. The sad truth however remains that the human cost of this will be significant, but the establishment has only itself and it's ill advised foreign policies to blame.

    You are one of those ignorant fifteenth generation chickenhawk americans that flunked out of high school and comment on youtube to insult people because your evangelical parents raped you from birth. You obviously didn't know what chickenhawk meant and you made an ass of yourself.

  • When American ...

    When American Forces came into Pakistan, the Taliban and the Pakistan army joined forces and killed up to US Soldiers. Those were the good times, when there was peace, now, because the Government have listened to Bush, there will be no peace and millions more lives will be lost. Death to NATO, Taliban will once again be back in power.
