Leaders Try To Craft Response To Mumbai Attack, Diffuse Tension On Border With India

It is interesting to note that the word "Pakistan", literally translated, means a "clean place". Of course, nothing could be further from the truth. Pakistan is a stinking cesspool, overflowing with deluded Islamic maniacs who have nothing better to do than kill innocent women and children in the name of their religion. If ever a country deserved to be nuked, this is it.

Pakistan''s government is doing very little to control terrorism within its own boarders. It has turned a blind eye to the decades of many extremists and international terrorist organizations using the country as a launching point for Iranian sponsored terrorists.

For Pakistan to accept it has "lawlesss boarder lands" is ridiculous. In Pakistan saying it has no control of a large area of its land, in reality has surrendered these lands to outlaws, criminals and terrorists.

The neighbors of Iran must come together and face the threat from Iran''s murderous regime who thinks nothing of using terrorists to commit murderous acts in order to destabilize the region.

Pakistan is like a Cancer of the Earth, the country exporting terrorists to Afghanistan, London, Spain, USA, India, and all over the world. ISI and it military wing should stop exporting terrorists to other nations.

mabangash Pakistan has been a problem ever since it was carved out of other countries. It seemed to be fine when we were fighting the Japanese...

[mnm421]

Just 6 words: World should ask Pakistan to stop EXPORTING terrorists. pure and simple.

According to all three intelligence sources, military and intelligence officials alike were alarmed that instead of securing a known terrorist organization, which has been responsible for acts of terror against Iranian targets and individuals all over the world %u2013 Rumsfeld under instructions from Cheney, began using the group on special ops missions into Iran to pave the way for a potential Iran strike.
%u201CThey are doing whatever they want, no oversight at all,%u201D one intelligence source said.
The below is one example of a policy to support terrorists for use as proxy groups:
"Bomb blasts struck Iranian government buildings in the capital of an oil-rich border province, followed within hours by two other bombs in central Tehran, killing nine people, days before presidential elections."
It%u2019s believed that the attacks by MEK had been halted in March of last year. If this attack is shown to be tied to MEK terrorists or any other "group" we are funding, arming, and training in the region, then the US will be implicated - even if we had nothing to do with the bombing directly.

MatrixRX2003, Pakistan IS taking charge. The ISI is linked to and supporting the extremests. Much like the CIA is suporting the MEK in Iran.

"The Pentagon is bypassing official US intelligence channels and turning to a dangerous and unruly cast of characters in order to create strife in Iran in preparation for any possible attack, former and current intelligence officials say.
One of the operational assets being used by the Defense Department is a right-wing terrorist organization known as Mujahedeen-e Khalq (MEK), which is being %u201Crun%u201D in two southern regional areas of Iran. They are Baluchistan, a Sunni stronghold, and Khuzestan, a Shia region where a series of recent attacks has left many dead and hundreds injured in the last three months.
One former counterintelligence official, who wished to remain anonymous due to the sensitivity of the information, describes the Pentagon as pushing MEK shortly after the invasion of Iraq in 2003. The drive to use the insurgent group was said to have been advanced by the Pentagon under the influence of the Vice President%u2019s office and opposed by the State Department, National Security Council and then-National Security Advisor, Condoleezza Rice.

The real root cause of the problem is socio-economics. When a group of people become disestablished for any reason, and fall below their peer group for an extended period of time, crime will dominate the group. If they have access to weapons, they eventually commit acts of agression on their neighbors. We see that here in the USA with gangs, organized crime, and various extremist political groups. When you mix a disestablished person with a weapon, you get criminal....with a group, you get a gang...etc.

Prime Minister Yusuf Raza Gilani is pursuing the best move - leadership. It takes leadership to unify, attract and pull the disestablished citizens back into the family of community and country.

Resistant rebels and other under-educated citizens need time to outgrow their life of under-achievement. When they see government working for them, they usually come around. Pakistan and India have severe economic problems. Force rules in poverty.

[matrixrx2003]

Pakistan needs to wake up and take care of these tribal areas that are breeding terror and hate.

[impeach___w]

...admitted to being a member of Lashkar-e-Taiba, a militant group once supported by Pakistan''s military intelligence service (ISI). ISI were supported by the US and the CIA. You see where this is going?

Just blame support from Iran and let''s get this over with once and for all. All we need is the thinnest link we can find between this group and Iran. Just keep beating on this guy until he says whatever you want him to...

What Pakistan has to do is start acting like a responsible country and start to rid itself of the radicals that are entrenched in the government and in the hinterlands. If they cannot then allow others to do it for them. Carpet bimbing the Pakistani badlands near Afghanistan would be good for all parties involved. The inhabitants have little to offer a civilized world. As for the supporters of the terrorists that attack India, they need to be removed from government and these groups destroyed.

It is time Pakistan realize that they harbor terrorists causing death on both sides of their country.
