#2 I must say that I'm getting awfully tired of Pakistain's inappropriately-high opinion of itself.

I want Mr. Davis back. He's covered by diplomatic immunity. He was about to get whacked by a couple of ISI free-lancers and instead got them. He should be on the next plane home.

But if the Paks think otherwise, then fine. We'll have to make some big adjustments in the region as a consequence of what I would do if I were President. Our efforts in Afghanistan would change (perhaps they should). Our efforts to keep peace in the region might change (perhaps they should).

But I do sincerely think that it's time for the gloves to come off in our relationship with the Paks. ISI generals? Dead. ISI major movers? Dead. Army generals who we know are double-dealing us? Dead. Politicos who are double-dealing us? Dead. As Al Gore once said, you have the CIA do stuff precisely because what you want done is against international law.

It's time to use the CIA, and Predators, etc., to send a message that Paks, Arabs and other tribal-based civilizations arrayed against us will understand.

Or as Frank G said much more succiently, pheuck 'em.
