#1 From last Sunday's White House Security Advisor statement: U.S. support for Pakistan will continue to be focused on building Pakistani capacity to root out violent extremist groups, while supporting the aspirations of the Pakistani people.
The majority of Paks want the US to die, and the current White House is working on that project also.

#4 How about 50 percent of Pakistan is supporting terrorism while the other 50 percent nods its head and does a dog and pony show to show support for anti-terror while the ruling elite are worried about losing power and try to enforce their control creating more internal strife while various parts of the country, through tribal competition and contention, create more strife and other parts accuse each other of being heretics.

#5 %59 eh? pretty surprised that it came in that low. maybe it is %59 actually actively working against US interests, while most of the rest view it as an enemy but are currently unable to contribute to the war effort.

#6 I wish this article would bein the NYT or WaPo.

A lot of lefties would blame Bush but some of the more naive 'why do they hate us' types might be forced to do some serious thinking.

#8 some of the more naive 'why do they hate us' types might be forced to do some serious thinking.

Nope. That's why they are leftists in the first place---you don't have to think.

Quite a few Rantburgers are former leftists, g(r)omgoru -- I've found their "come to Jesus" stories fascinating. Ignorance and unwillingness to think are two very different things.
