As a result, the idiots that have taken to governing Pakistan have failed to maintain control of the area along its border with Afghanistan; as such US forces have in recent months pursued terrorists BACK into Pakistan as they fled after executing attacks on Afghan security, US and or NATO forces...
If Pakistan fires on US troops, those Pakistani Soldiers will suffer the consequences of their foolish decision.
See, this is what scares me about neocon righties, their ignorance. Then again, if you were educated on the region we wouldn't have this conversation.
Just so you know. Since the Partition (just to educate yourself, this is the term used when Pakistan/East Pakistan and India split in 1948), the Pakistani government NEVER had control of huge tracts of the border area, even under Mushariff (who BTW, only recently left power). There has been a long-term agreement with the Pushtan tribes along the border that the government controls the roads, the tribes control everything else. Occasionally the tribes and govt forces get in a shit fight, but not that often.
However being totally uneducated on the subject, you do what is known as spinning. You are saying that since the new government came into power all of a sudden there a problems with terrorists crossing the border? Guess what Sparkie, they've been crossing the border since Adam. Not just since the Taliban were kicked out of Afghanistan. However, now that the US pawn Mushareff is out of office, suddenly there is a border 'problem'.
This is exactly the type of ignorance that chickenhawks in Bush's admin have relied on over the past five years for gulliable Yanks to fall for. Shame on you...
