Okay... so the two thirds of Earths human population that's supposed to go poof in 2012... I'm thinking India, Pakistan and China (plus some nearby countries) would almost cover it.

I came in here to point out that a war would solve earth's overpopulation problem, from which the major environmental problems derive.

I don't think Mr. Obama has ever played the game of RISK.

/Roll die baby!!

GaryPDX: I don't think Mr. Obama has ever played the game of RISK.

Your Brazil is toast *rolls dice*

Of course they did. Pakistan intelligence has continued to aid the Taliban and other militants since promising to oppose them after 9/11. They play both sides and we keep sending them billions in military aid.

The meeting also came as a top Pakistani official publicly rejected giving the U.S. military authority to enter the tribal regions to attack terror networks itself.

They aided the establishment of the Taliban and Al Qaeda in the tribal regions and have very deliberately allowed them to remain. They mount some assaults from time to time to keep the United States happy, but nothing significant enough to actually dislodge the Taliban's control. Taliban forces raid into Afghanistan and then run back across the border into Pakistan where we're not allowed to follow. They've been doing it for years and Pakistan has very deliberately done nothing about it.

The United States has grown increasingly frustrated as Al Qaeda, the Taliban and other militants thrive in Pakistan's remote areas and in neighboring Afghanistan, and has asked that U.S. troops be allowed to strike at terror networks. The new regime says it prefers to negotiate a new peace agreement with militant groups in the relatively ungoverned region, which is about the size of Maryland.

Which they've done before and it doesn't farking work. "Peace agreement" with the Taliban and Al Qaeda forces in the tribal regions means that they are free to continue recruiting and training militants, which is exactly what they're doing. Training now includes IED making and suicide bombing.

Pakistan is not our friend and the Bush administration's refusal to really call them out on this shiat is pathetic.

Remember what happened when the United States blew up the Chinese embassy?

Yeah, nothing.

Maybe we should arm both sides of this conflict, that will fix it.

Oh wait, we already have you say?

Bah, Pakistan and India are a bunch of pansies. Nothing will happen.

Old Krusty: What's the difference between Pakistan and a pancake? I don't know any pancakes that've been nuked by India! ...What, too soon?

It must've something into the air.

At least that would explain why my insides have been acting like I just ate a shiatload of curry...

/off to the men's room again...
//this is going to be a long day

"I pity Kabul!!"

Maybe we should just get it over with?

/jorbs back to the US

This is genius! The administration finally has a plan to solve the oil crisis. No more of this China and India are consuming more.

So does this mean my job won't soon be going to Bangalore?

OlafTheBent: Okay... so the two thirds of Earths human population that's supposed to go poof in 2012... I'm thinking India, Pakistan and China (plus some nearby countries) would almost cover it.

I think it is about time for us to remove our selves from involvement in the coming land war in Asia.

Let's see...
Couple of billion less people in Asia = lower demand for gas
Oil drops to less than $50 a barrel...
Ergo, we can start hoping for 1992 gas prices again!

Shaggy_C: Remember what happened when the United States blew up the Chinese embassy?

Yeah, nothing.

An accident due to people not updating maps is different then a deliberate suicide bombing.

It's necessary to be tough on our allies.

/That's Obama's new front

//Sorry, that's Afganistan

Great, something else Farkers can pretend to be knowledgeable about.

prekrasno: Let's see...

Exxon Mobil ain't about to let that happen.

Shaggy_C: Remember what happened when the United States blew up the Chinese embassy?

Yeah, nothing.

Lots of angry protests and a stoning of the US embassy in China, because it was an accident caused by a 'tard using an old map?

/We're referring to the one in Iraq that was bombed on a mid-90s air raid, yes?

tuna fingers: Maybe we should arm both sides of this conflict, that will fix it.

Oh wait, we already have you say?

They started killing our pets and poisoning a few billion products with lead?

When a news story has been tacked on the bulletin board of my barracks you know its an old story. This is one of those articles.

As an aside those of us with a vested interest in Afghanistan already know that Pakistan is causing terror attacks inside the country.

OneNutSaloon: So does this mean my job won't soon be going to Bangalore?

No, it means that your job will be done cheaper by a radioactive, glowing mutants in Bangalore.

So it looks like we are finally leaning 100% towards India - I think it's about time. The big caveat right now is that I just don't trust the Bush administration, the ISI and India to come to a sensible solution to this. The three of them are a bunch of paranoid clowns that don't even know what they really want out of their foreign policies (well, maybe the ISI does).

/realism is b.s. school of politics

Shaggy_C: Remember what happened when the United States blew up the Chinese embassy?

Yeah, nothing.

US/China relations != India/Pakistan relations

Still, you're probably right that nothing major will come of this.

i enjoy the cuisine of both cultures, and i love the song Kashmir by Zep.

i'm hoping for a tie game.

This is great news for John McCain. If it looks like India or Pakistan may use nukes, America has an incentive to nuke somebody else before they do.

OneNutSaloon: So does this mean my job won't soon be going to Bangalore?

What do you bang now at your job?

Nuclear India just got added to my list of potential band names. It's a long list.

I'm smelling bullshiat if it's by Fox "News".

So how long until Pakistan has an "unfortunate" massive "nuclear accident" that they just happen to glass parking lot themselves??

Code_Archeologist: No, it means that your job will be done cheaper by a radioactive, glowing mutant zombies in Bangalore.

After fixing that, I can feel better about losing my job.

prekrasno: Let's see...

But but...what if I have a problem with my Dell? Or I want to give toys with lead paint to charities?

Can I have their stuff convienence stores and motels?

Theaetetus: Bah, Pakistan and India are a bunch of pansies. Nothing will happen.

They've fought 3 brutal wars since 1946. It's the reason they both have nukes in the first place, in defense of each other. I'm not as optimistic as you are.

Shaggy_C: Remember what happened when the United States blew up the Chinese embassy?

Yeah, nothing.

And what did China get? A few bucks and a "we didn't use the correct maps" apology. China was beginning to peak in economic status, roughly increasing by 10% a year; I'm sure they didn't want to jeopardize their growth/progress as the US was still the power house in world economics with a solid dollar and a budget surplus.

Five bucks says they won't forget about it though.

LocalCynic: This is great news for John McCain. If it looks like India or Pakistan may use nukes, America has an incentive to nuke somebody else before they do.

Did you say we should rally in Germany about change?

Or were you trying to incite old BS that isn't really true?

I...ran?

The US said that? What a bunch of troublemakers. Like the drunk guy at a bar who tells someone "See that guy over there? He said he wants to sleep with your girlfriend."

US says Iraq has WMD's

India should give up Kashmir to whoever wants it, (either give Kashmir autonomy or to Pakistan)instead of pouring millions of dollars and wasting thousands of lives for a state that shouldn't have been part of India to begin with, a state which is a giant drain on Indian resources and a rallying point for Islamic fundies

Look guys! The everknowledgeable ceramics is gracing us with his presence! He'll set us straight!
Happy day!

I came in here to point out that a war would solve earth's overpopulation problem, from which the major environmental problems derive.

Also help with the whole oil demand issue as well. AND emerging nations pollution as well as H1B's and offshoring. And then Sharon Stone could say something profound.

DOES NOT APPROVE

/am I the only white guy who listens to his music by choice?

Bith Set Me Up: I'm smelling bullshiat if it's by Fox "News".

You know, I was about to say "I can't believe no one has come in here claiming that it's a war-mongering fairy tale by Fox News without glancing at TFA and seeing that they're basically repeating something that the New York Times has already reported."

Once they get those super sling-shots finished to lob them nukes at each other it will be pandemonium!

i call dibs on huge plots on land

Remember when the United States accidently (nudge nudge wink wink) blew up the french embassy after having to fly all the way around France?

Bush: "Fine then. If you won't let me invade Iran, Pakistan here we come!"

Pakistan is the Bush administrations friend. They need a boogyman around to operate the way they do.

The Bush administration is not our friend.
