#1 For once the UN is right.

The closest thing the war has to a report card comes in the form of a new quarterly report from the United Nations. And the American troop surge appears to be dangerously close to flunking.

#2 And once again, Virginia, we learn why God invented or combined MilPol "Imperialism" wid "Nation Building" = National Reconstruction + similar.

Its called "... IN ONE'S OWN INTERESTS + SECURITY".

* ION DEFENCE.PK/FORUMS > PAKISTAN TELLS US AGAIN TO LEAVE DRONE BASE.

versus

* SAME > IFF PAKISTAN DENIES US ITS DRONE BASE [Shamsi], THERES A BACKUP PLAN [Base(s)] NEXT DOOR, in Afghanistan.

FYI it appears the claims on this subject as per MSM-Net News may be BOGUS = NEVER HAPPENED, + the US operates drones from other Pak Bases besides Shamsi???

#3 OOOPSies, forgot SAME > CHINA IS UNLIKELY TO CONFRONT [mil oppose?] US MILITARY INTERVENTION IN PAKISTAN.
