#1 It is being widely perceived here in British media that Muslim militants were now trying to take revenge from the Chinese government by attacking its nationals working in Pakistan.

What are you people, morons? Hmm...seem to have answered my own question, there. The recent attacks on Chinese are part of their attempts to establish Sharia law in Pakistan, nothing more. Journalists really are stupid. I can't believe something like "the journalism community perceives this" is being reported as "news".

#2 This time the attack is said to have been carried out by some Islamic militants unlike the past when Baloch rebels were blamed for killings of Chinese workers.

yeah, it's totally different. Uh huh

#3 A report has claimed that Islamic extremists in Pakistan are making common cause with the Muslim insurgency in China; otherwise, there would seem to be no reason for it.

While America seems to have great difficulty with the notion of targeted killings something tells me that China will exhibit no such compunctions. Islam's fatal prediliction for overreaching itself will find more than a match in China's penchant for crushing all opposition like so many cockroaches.

#4 If this is so, and it probably is true, Pervert is really going to be feeling extreme heat from his Chicom masters. If he thinks infidels are devils, he really has no idea which bed he's crawled into. A bed of fireants. China simply won't tolerate this kind of treatment of Chinese nationals. They may have to extermintae several thousand Paks, but it won't bother them one whit.

Only if it interferes with the transfer of US and NATO supplies to Afghanistan.

I'm wondering if it isn't time for a little brinkmanship in dealing with Pakistan. We should let their jihadis run amok just long enough to have China threatening an invasion. Then America steps in to save the dayand not coincidentally confiscate their nuclear weapons as wellwhile saving their Islamic bacon, so to speak.

One way or another Pakistan must be brought to heel. No matter what we do they will busily implode courtesy of the ISI's congenital ineptitude and their military's incompetence. If China can be inspired to exhibit some of its usual heavy-handed hamfistedness in response to this jihadist nonsense, then we might stand a remoteemphasis on the word "remote"chance of playing the good guy.

#8 I suspect Pakistan is for the next President. This one needs to finish in Iran.

So, What Would Hillary Do?

Word, NS.

So, What Would Hillary Do?

Much the same as her philandering husband: Namely, fuck all.
