| #2 The Pakis are brain dead. Those animals are now a stone's throw from the country's water supply. Already the Sindhis complain of Punjab hoarding. If they don't wipe out Taliban, the entire country is at risk. And if we don't stop supporting the Pashto slimeball - Karzai - who is sandbagging the anti-terror effort, our troops will be put at unnecessary risk. Don't support elections in midst of conflict, because the results will exacerbate conflict. Smack yourself in the head if you disagree. |
