#1 It is time we re-examined whether the US is really an 'ally' or a dangerous enemy.

Could be either one, depending on what you do. It's your call.

#2 Shireen has serious ISI links.

Looks like some people are spoiling for a fight...

#3 Maybe it's time the US recognized that Pakistan is not an ally but an enemy. You want an enemy Paks? Be careful what you wish for...

#4 ISI propaganda form and ISI mouthpiece. Somone ought to put a bullet in Mazari's direction to send a bit of a message.

The ISI is funding training and supporting the Talib, and is starting to scream now that they have been caught and killed in the border regions along with their mooks.

President Bush should authorize direct action against the ISI by any and all clandestine services, whether in Pakistan or elsewhere.

Start killing them now. Rapidly. And in large numbrs but one at a time. The ISI has become the largest destabilizing threat in the region.

#5 Problem is the former ISI chief, Kiyani, is now the head of the Pakistani military and thus runs things now...

#7 It is hard to accept that your country and culture are fatally flawed. Pakistan is such a country. Its defense budget is less than 10% of what India or the US/Nato team spend in Afghanistan every year. They are weak now and growing weaker every year like every other Muslim country. That their neighbors put up with their insults is only because they are not troublesome enough to bother with, nor are they worthy enough to conquer.
