#2 Pakistan supports several armies, none of them American, which roam around, killing Muslims mainly. These armies are not dogs, for dogs would not bite the hand that feeds them. These armies suck the sovereignty right out of Pakistan.

Pakistan will be a great country, when -
it stops killing its neighbors,
it stops paying armies, which kill Paks,
it stops lying, or at least agrees on its lies,
it does something for its citizens (& not the madrases or army), and
it stops thinking about its pride and starts doing something for its people.

#3 Me, too, JQC. Not sure how you sneak a look-alike into the bedroom without the wifee noticing, unless they were under a "spell" like Dinnerjacket.
However, General Aslam Beg is showing his true conspiracy colors and is thought to be connected to AQ Khan and the rumored rogue nukes. The proximity of Binny's compound to the Khan's and the ISI is disconcerting to say the least, and he should not be dismissed as another nutjob.

#4 IIUC HAMID MIR > OBL desired to improve, empower Islam + Islamism via JIHAD which required the cooper = combined might, etc. of the various sectarian Militant Groups which likely would not had occurred IFF US TROOPS WERE NOT IN THE MIDDLE EAST = MUSLIM LANDS IN THEIR CURRENT SCALE OR BETTER???

IOW, NO 9-11 OR SIMILAR = NO US MIL RESPONSE = NO INTER-MILTERR COOPER = NO JIHAD = ISLAMIC WORLD STEADILY SELF-IMPLODES LIKE USSR???

Which is not in Pakistan's interests as per Pak's own perceived "Manifest Destiny" = desire to become a "Great State/Power" in its own right???
