| US backs Musharraf against Taliban |
| 2007-07-16 |
| The US administration Sunday lent its “full support” to President Pervez Musharraf after Taliban militants scrapped the North Waziristan peace accord. National Security Adviser Stephen Hadley said the deal “hasn’t worked”. “President Musharraf understands it. We understand it. President Musharraf is taking steps to move troops back into that region. That probably accounts for the statements we heard from the Taliban,” he said on Fox News. “There is pooling of Taliban there. There is training,” Hadley said, adding that Gen Musharraf is “doing more. We are urging him to do more, and we’re providing our full support to what he’s contemplating.” |

| #4 US [administration] backs Musharraf against Taliban (never mind what India thinks), and backs Abbas against Hamas (never mind that Israel thinks), and backs Mexico against USA (wait. that can't be right. can it?). |

| #3 Which targets, exactly, do you propose nuking in a heavily mountainous territory with few cities? How about the entire border region from the Hindu Kush down through Baluchistan to the Iranian border. A nice wide glowing stretch of radioactive wasteland would probably put an end to cross-border operations once and for all. Of course, nuking half of Pakistan would also do wonders for clearing up the mess known as the Muzzlem Muddled East. |

| #1 We are urging him to do more, and we’re providing our full support to what he’s contemplating.” Unless it is nuking Wariristan then there is nothing to contemplate that will solve the problem. |
