#1 Either he doesn't know, or doesn't grasp the concept of "covert" operations. As in no press release, no Tony Snow briefing, no NYT editorial in opposition because they don't know, etc.

And that is why they call them "covert" operations.

#2 I think Mr. Hamilton's comments are more on the line "the whole da$$ed country is a terrorist safe haven, and we really need to do something about it", than discussing something that can be done by covert means. The amount of explosive force necessary to do the job is hard to hide.

#3 US must get tough with Pakistan

Only if we ever want to have even the least shred of hope to see Islamic terrorism end within our own lifetimes. Oh, and I'll go with OP on this one. "Covert" doesn't even begin to address the proper amount of explosives required to get this job done right.

#4 I think the explosives necessary measure in the megatons range.

#5 I think we all agree that we need to scour nwfp. Not sure if it needed to be said in the open. Perv is doing enough of a balancing act. If Perv's our guy (which is the way W seems to be playing it) then Hamilton needs to stfu & follow the boss's lead or resign and then bitch. If not, then turn loose the SOF teams and happy hunting. One can then debate whether to keep it covert or not. I'd tell the world -- can't keep your house in order -- we will and we don't give a sh*t if you don't like the mess we make before we leave.

Word, Broadhead6. This will become the operative mode when the West finally gets off of its ~~fat~~ multi-culti tranzi ass and decides it really wants to survive.
