THE GEARS OF WAR CONTINUE TO CHURN


WASHINGTON (AP) — Sen. Lindsey Graham says the U.S. should consider military action to defend U.S. troops if Pakistan's intelligence agencies continue supporting terrorists who are attacking American forces.

The South Carolina Republican says Pakistan is engaging in hostile acts against the U.S and Afghanistan, and that must stop.

Graham, who's on the Senate Armed Services Committee, says there will be a lot of bipartisan support in Congress if there's a decision that the U.S. must "elevate our response."

The chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Adm. Mike Mullen, last week accused Pakistan's intelligence agency of backing extremists who attacked the U.S. Embassy in Afghanistan and detonated a truck bomb that wounded scores of American soldiers.

Called it when Fox were building up the propaganda a few days ago.

I highly doubt there will be actual military action though. They would need to come up with something much bigger than that.

They edited him. On Faux Sunday Morning, what he actually said was, '...our ally Afghanistan.'

If they're our ally, one wonders why we've been kicking the shit out of them for ten years now...

Drone strikes and hit squads are not military action?

Shhhhh. Don't talk about that! I don't think they want us even knowing about that.

Yeah, If people actually paid attention to the fact that we found bin Laden in Pakistan, they might wonder why we spent the last decade in Afghanistan. After all, we did go there to get him.

I guess Iraq's yellowcake uranium fled to Pakistan too...

This.

Seems more like lovers' quarrel in public domain and frustration bioling over a dumb, failed foreign policy by current POTUS who people accidentally elected seeking aome redemption from horrific Iraq bloodshed.

But I don't see any wars here, US has never engaged a nuclear armed nation in direct war for fear of nuclear retaliation, I doubt that risk-benefit calculation is about to change at this juncture as pronounced with frustration it may be.

Besides, looking at this photo of young Pakistan Foreign Minister plastered on Drudge report right now, I do not believe Hillary Clinton wants a confrontation with her.

Drone strikes and hit squads are not military action?Didn't you get the memo. Obama spelled it out clearly with regards to Libya: it's not combat because we don't have troops on the ground being attacked. Missile strikes are not combat because theyre not attacking out missiles.

And Morning Joe laughed at Ron when he shared that he was nervous that forces in our government have begun beating the drums of war in Pakistan's direction.

But, seriously. I've gotten numb to all of these wars. Its a cancer and I have no idea how to stop it other than spreading the message of liberty.

He does not appear to be sane looking at his policies, could he be being controlled?

"But war is good for the economy!!!!!!"

One wonders when that lie is ever going to go away completely.
