It's about time someone started this thread!
Not only that but could this be true already under taskmaster Obama's watch? Has he let Afghanistan and Pakistan slip this fast???? Say it ain't so! Actually this is very spooky. Heck, you could have India nuking Pakistan and Israel taking out Iran nukes in the same week.
Delhi thinks Pak N-sites in radical hands - India Times from DEBKA
DEBKA-Net-Weekly Exclusive Report
May 16, 2009, 1:57 PM (GMT+02:00)
Mahonman Singh re-elected as Indian prime minister
The important Times of India quotes DEBKA-Net-Weekly's exclusive report of Friday, May 15, which revealed that Indian prime minister Manmohan Singh had warned US president Barack Obama that Pakistan's nuclear sites in North West Frontier Province areas that are Taliban-al Qaeda strongholds are already partly in the hands of Islamic extremists. He told Obama: "Pakistan is lost."
DEBKA listed the locations of those nuclear sites and illustrated them with a special map. Singh's Congress Party has meanwhile won a second term in India's general election, according to exit polls Saturday, May 16.
The Times of India goes on to cite visiting US scholar Robert Windrem as commenting: "It is quite disturbing that the administration is allowing Pakistan to quantitatively and qualitatively step up production of fissile material without as much so a public reproach."
US officials have repeatedly maintained their confidence that the Pakistani nuclear arsenal will not fall into the hands of Islamic extremists and have Islamabad's assurance to this effect. Scholars like Windrem fear this confidence is misplaced because Pakistan's nuclear program "may already be infected with the virus of radicalism from within…"
I havent seen anyone say "Lets get out of Afghanistan." In fact, during the campaign, Obama said he would increase troop numbers there...
I'm just wondering if youre ever going to get tired of manufacturing outrage over things that were never said, or what.
That's BS and you know it! The entire limp wristed, Cindy Sheehan left loonie wing of your party hates this one as well. They're just giving your Obamessiah a little honeymoon. Or he and his S.Chicago machine tactics and buddies have scared them into keeping their mouths shut like they have Rev's. Sharpton, Jessie Jackson and Wright etc.....

lol. Youre already re-writing history that is only 8 months old??? During the campaign, Obama said he would withdraw combat troops from Iraq, and ramp up forces in Afghanistan. And on this board, I said I supported that. He made this stance very clear during the campaign.

DB3, TT, you're both right, in a sense...
TT - Obama wanted to pull our of Iraq, and shift everything, full force, to Afghanistan. To one extent or another, he's doing that.
DB3 - The extremem left wanted to end Iraq bad, I mean bad, but as well wanted to end Afghanistan (and I'm not just thinking of the loons of either side, like the people that think the government orchestrated 9/11).
Read my entire post for comprehension this time DB2-3. I'll highlight in red for you what your brain couldn't figure out .
"The entire limp wristed, Cindy Sheehan left loonie wing of your party hates this one (AFGHANISTAN) as well. They're just giving your Obamessiah a little honeymoon.

Now do you get it?
here's a positive (hopeful) story:

That's what it's gonna take. Peace-loving Muslims have got to rise up against the extremists. It'll probably be these Pakistani tribesmen, wielding muzzle-loading muskets, that drag that creep Bin Laden out of his hiding place...but don't expect a trial. They'll butcher him on sight.
