Pakistan's military has ordered its forces to open fire if U.S. troops launch another air or ground raid across the Afghan border, an army spokesman said Tuesday.
The orders, which come in response to a highly unusual Sept. 3 ground attack by U.S. commandos, are certain to heighten tensions between Washington and a key ally against terrorism. Although the ground attack was rare, there have been repeated reports of U.S. drone aircraft striking militant targets, most recently on Sept. 12.
Pakistani officials warn that stepped-up cross-border raids will accomplish little while fueling violent religious extremism in nuclear-armed Pakistan. Some complain that the country is a scapegoat for the failure to stabilize Afghanistan.
Pakistan's civilian leaders, who have taken a hard line against Islamic militants since forcing Pervez Musharraf to resign as president last month, have insisted that Pakistan must resolve the dispute with Washington through diplomatic channels.
However, army spokesman Maj. Gen. Athar Abbas told The Associated Press that after U.S. helicopters ferried troops into a militant stronghold in the South Waziristan tribal region, the military told field commanders to prevent any similar raids.
You've made your choice. Lots of people have derided President Bush for some of his tough talk, but honestly, there's really no doubt here, I think everyone can agree: You're either with us, or you're against us on this one.
Because we're going after Al-Qaeda terrorists, and you've chosen to impede that chase, you've made your choice as to which side you prefer to be on.
So, you have two choices, you can either hand over Bin Laden, al-Zawahiri, and every Al-Qaeda member in your area, or you can look forward to people dying.....LOTS of people, and there's really no one to blame but yourselves. You've had plenty of time, you your self have said that you have sent in 100,000 troops to weed out terrorists, and you've failed. We've already killed several high end Al-Qaeda members with small Navy Seal teams that you couldn't do with 100,000 men? You obviously aren't trying hard enough, or you're on their side. Either way, I have no room for you, and if you choose this path, then it will lead to your own destruction of your military members.

Hey, guy, seriously...Shut the Fuck Up! You fucking moron. What, do you speak on behalf of the U.S. government (I know, I know)? Since when does the U.S. have the right to just barge into Pakistan without permission? Oh yeah, one more thing, FUCK AMERICA! You're walking on Indian land faggot, couch quarterback, cultureless, pilgrim asswipe! There's another war comin' here in the states (actually it's been going on for 500 plus years) so I wouldn't be so worried about what happens all the way in faraway Pakistan. I expect you to be offended and I expect you to get angry and offer me some little high school teacher excuse for all the crimes that were committed by America the ugly so I'll ask you to save it. The movement in general is growing daily and it seems as if all of our fallen warriors of the past are reviving in our youth of today! The ten thousand unarmed warriors of Tenochtitlan, the thousands of Cholula, of Cajamarca, the hundreds of Wounded Knee, of Sand Creek that were killed are reborn in our youth. The Eagle and the Condor are coming together and we will regain our lands from the white colonial rulers and elite. Oh, by the way, we don't need your religions either. We have our own religions that make a heck of a lot more sense than your superstitious religions. Ours were based on science and observation of the universe as well as philosophy; yours are based on blind faith. And so, the mental and physical colonialism will stop. Bye Bye anchor baby.
ReplyDeleteHold on a minute, let me get my bullshit to English translator book out.
ReplyDeleteOk, got it. You seem to be pissy about the fact that you, and I assume you're Indian right, are pissed that your ancestors either sold your land or were forced off of it? Is that the gist of your gripes?
Well, tell me, what do you think of the Louisiana Purchase? What about the original 13 colonies? Are all those "stolen lands" too?
What gives you the right to claim them over anyone else here?
America doesn't belong any more or less to you then it does to me. You aren't an owner of these lands. You were born here, just like I was, which makes us equal.
I enjoy it so much when people who were not effected in any way by past atrocities, suddenly want "reparations" or other such nonsense.
You weren't effected by the past events in American history, so you're entitled to exactly jack squat.
I also find it funny that your name is "Christian", yet you aren't acting very "Christ like" in the least.
However, if you wish to discuss the situation in Pakistan, I'd be happy to.
But, let's face facts. Given your language skills and lack of basic understanding of the past, I doubt you'll be up to the task.
By the way Tenochtitlan was/is in modern day Mexico City, and was conquered by the Spanish, which had NOTHING to do with American history and the "oppressive white man".
I don't give a rip if you want "our religion". I don't really have one myself, so why would I care how you worship?
I look forward to your reply. :)
