No, not at all.. If Pakistani Govt & Military think about it, then that day would be the last day when you'd see pakistan on the geographical map of the world.

I haven't had time to scan through all the latest reporting, but when the life of your country is hanging by a thread, a Pakistan Army afraid of humiliation or unprepared for guerrilla fights excuse just doesn't hold water.

Allowing some chaos and fear... but not too much so that it's uncontrolable later.... so a military coup would be welcomed at a future point. Too much cash and the associated graft flows thru Pakistan from foreign aid for the Army to let go of that cash cow so easily. Since they have nukes- Is that a good thing or a bad thing? I sure as hell don't know. I have heard speculation the military response is purposely tepid.

It wasn't fear that they would simply be attacked, but that retaliation would be swift and harsh if they were stupid enough to attack us. Gaddafi was taught a lesson, and we haven't heard much from him since. 0bama's most recent exposure to the world has no doubt encouraged all the evil forces hiding in their spider holes to emerge and look for easy prey, because they have no fear of the little pansy who now controls the world's greatest military. The momentum that is now developing toward global calamity must be stopped NOW, or it will be too late. 0bama is too much of a chicken shit, (please remember that wimpy picture if him on his bicycle and ask yourself if you could be intimidated by THAT?) the whole world saw this, so it is not possible for him to erase the first impression of he gave as a kow-towing weenie, and create the impression that he is a force to be reckoned with. The importance of the first 100 days is that it is a clear indication of the nature of the man's ability to perform the job, and the trajectory that his presidency will take. It's also important in the first 100 days to show the world whether you're a warrior or a wussy. I have a pretty good idea which one our enemies think our President is.

In 100 days, Obama has resurrected it. The worst part of it is that is was all for nothing. It was all for a worthless political agenda. Spread fear, divide and then shift that fear from a small segment of the population into hate towards the rest of the population. He is community organizing the country. Why anybody thought he had anything better in him is beyond me. All he is, is what he is and nothing more. He is Alinsky, scared on the inside and vindictive on the outside.

Once the Palins are trashed, so goes his meal ticket with them. Something Obama might think about. His relevance lies in our power as a nation. Once he trivializes that, then he himself becomes trivial along with it. This is his country too. And I would add, no matter how European he sees himself... This is the only country he has got or will likely ever have. Europe might like what he has done to us... but they will not respect him for having done it.
