Comments on: U.S. Special Forces Strike In Pakistan

Rare Use Of Ground Forces Stokes Pakistani Ire, May Indicate High-Value Target

[samthetvcat]

You know what kind of vetting of Barack''s speech about invading sovereign Pakistan that I wanted to see was in terms of what the relationship is like between the Soviet Union and Pakistan . . . what if they send troops to shore up the tribal regions from the other side? Is that at all a possibility?

What''s the relationship with Pakistan and Iran - can we afford to alienate a so-so ally that is open about their nuke program if we''re concerned about Iran obtaining nukes?

Obviously everybody wants to bring Bin Laden to justice . . . I just want to know all the consequences of following through, good and bad.

And people understandably have a tendency to care more about not jeopardizing their potential tax cut than potential power shifts on the international geopolitical stage . . . but isn''t it the press'' job to care? Okay, do the Bristol Palin thing - fine, but can we at least consider the what-ifs?

If it wasn''t for Obama''s TOUGH talk about the war and ending it - we would NOT see the progess being made today.

The progress being made is also NOT coming from the United States - it is coming from IRAQ! They are finally getting balls and telling US how they are going to do things. Bend over Bush and Cheney - because your golden child is turning you around and F''in you for a change.

How does it feel? Sweatin'' yet?

OBAMA''''s promise to this nation is about as fluffy as Nancy Pelosi''''s promise to impeach bush..
lots of talk without any muscle, desire and substance to move forward

You got that right. Obama hardly inspires confidence when it comes to foreign policy. He''ll probably view Putin as a fellow socialist with whom he can hold hands around the campfire while singing Kumbaya and reflecting wistfully on the dearly departed Soviet Union.

[libsluv2spit]

This is yet another example of Obama''''''''s superior judgement, and world leaders coming around to Obama''''''''s perspective. Good.

Obama has once again shown he was right on foreign policy, and McCain was wrong.

another fine example of a fine obama judgement is paving the road to ''change'' by picking a very old school''ish DNC Dino to be his vp.

now in terms of ''world leaders'' praising the man..ask yourself this....coming from a bunch of european leaders who are so inept that they themselves are guilty of the very same atrocities that they throw at this country..

and it seems like thier own foreign policy is about the fail in dealing with russia..and guess who is going to save them AGAIN.

OBAMA''s promise to this nation is about as fluffy as Nancy Pelosi''s promise to impeach bush..

lots of talk without any muscle, desire and substance to move forward

then obama would loose 90% of liberal votes...

obama appeal to the young, naive and stupid

Last summer when Obama said he''''d be willing to go into Pakistan to target terrorists, he was criticized by McCain and others. This is yet another example of Obama''''s superior judgement, and world leaders coming around to Obama''''s perspective. Good.

i believe that obama was being critized because he preached the ''negotiate'' policy and at the very same breath..would suggest something as "republican" as going into pakistan to target terrorism. Its called flip flop on MAJOR issues.
think about..most if not all of obama''s constituents are voting for the guy because he not going to use the military but diplomacy..so do you feel betrayed?

Oil prices are going down folks....if the hurricanes can''t do the job, then they have to have some reason to send them back up so Big Oil can continue to rip off the world. This is purely political, otherwise it would have been done a long time ago.

I sure hope this is better intelligence then when we were told by Powell about WMS''s in Iraq. Russia and China are watching and waiting,we have ships in the Black sea,you know Russia and China are thinking that the 1 billion aid to the area they invaded will be weapons. HAVE WE GOT INTO A WAR WE CAN''T WIN. NO WINNERS IN THIS ONE.

[seafang]

Hello! earth to Notelatu; the job of President, or Vice President is an executive job; you know, for people who can actually do something. It is not a job for somebody who has experience at voting present in a legislative position, which is about making up laws; not doing anything.
All of Palin''s experience is executive; not legislative.
Obama has maybe 146 days of actually being in the US senate and not running for President. His various senate committees he is on, have never actually done anything. This lunkhead spent 20 years listening to the Reverend Wright in his chosen church, and never ever figured out what he was talking about; and he is going to sit down with Vladimir Putin and discuss international affairs; what a laugh.

So which other commies besides George Sauros are actually pulling this dummy''s strings ?

[inventagod2]

Bu$h invades yet another soverign nation. The World Court will have fun with these fascists next year...

[photon816]

photon816 - we should kill em all. 3 nukes should do it
********************
guyfrompa49 - Good Americans are always as humane as possible. Our terrorist enemy is the opposite. They believe that blowing themselves up among a crowd of innocent men, women and children is a heroic act. If they get their hands on the three nukes you mention, have no doubt that THEY would use them. *** I tried to make the point that the collateral damage of THEIR surrounding women and children is not a tragedy that should mark us as uncaring or inhumane, but rather a possible necessity. They TEACH their little children to be suicide bombers, having them wear little immitation bomb vests in the first grades of school. So don''t hurt the terrorists if they have blown up a lot of people and then made it back across the border, safe among their own children whom we would not dare to hurt. ***
Rules of sports or rules of warfare have to work both ways, not to only our side, or else they are rules for fools who cannot win.

The iphone has been out just a few shorter than Palin''''s TOTAL and ONLY experience in ONLY *state* government.

What''''s worse: She has NOT ONE day of federal government experience. What''''s even worse: She has ZERO foreign policy experience. She just got her passport LAST YEAR.

Average life expectancy dictates that McCain will be dead before the end of his first term.
Posted by notelatu

I am not sure this is the best analogy for your argument. The iphone was quite a successful product and transformed the mobile phone/internet services for the better.

The comment about federal experience reminds me of another candidate...Bill Clinton. As I remember things, even with his limited or no federal experience he was a pretty good president.
Finally, as for life expectancy, the Period Life Table (actuarial table) for the United States indicates that a 72 year old man will live another 12.64 years and the chance of dying within the next year is less than .03%

[neoconslayer]

Remember when Obama said he would do this if it was necessary? Remember all the lying, un-American, Osama''s-wad-gobbling scum (a.k.a. Conservative Republicans) who claimed it was proof that he was an idiot? Wanted to attack our ''friends''...was too ''naive''.
Those folks are thinking up a new lie even as you read this.

[promaclaura]

She is the Commander & Chief for the Alaska National Guard, she has commanded Operations in Iraq, Afghanistan, & the Horn of Africa to name just a FEW!

She speaks with Putin on a weekly basis and the two have mutual respect and track record of working well together.

She is at the fore-front of Global warming, Oil/Energy, shipping (NW Passage), and commands the richest largest state in the Union (Alaska is 1/2 the size of the continental U.S.)

Alaska also boarders two other countries, Canada and is less than 70 miles from Russia.


Obama is a Junior Senator.

Experience?


HAHAHAHAHAH
AHAHA

Exactly right, half Barack''s time as a jr. senator has been spent campaigning and if voting present instead of yes or no in Chicago senate means he has experience then his supporters haven''t a clue. I wish Barack had been a govenor, this position encompassing decisions on a variety of things, right now all we know is he speaks well and makes criminals, home-grown bombers and radical preachers as friends.

[golamycine]

UK should stop the terrorist support and help with the war on terror. Their open support for terrorists such as Pakistani MQM guy Altaf Hussian who is a known terroist for extortion, murder, bribery, kidnapping and Plane Hijacking is enjoying his time in London and still running his terrorists group. This seriously undermines the US efforts

[misha128-2009]

Bush adopts another Obama policy position in this and previous cross-border attacks. McCain is standing alone as the odd man out, again. I wonder if this means McCain will be shortly be willing to chase Bin Laden to the cave he lives in as well as the gates of hell soon?
