Pakistan Closes NATO Supply Lines Into Afghanistan Following Attack On Two Outposts
— Ace

Supposedly our choppers attacked two regular-unit Pakistan army outposts, killing 24.

What happened? It could have been a complete botch on our part.

On the other hand, maybe our boys fired on them because Pakistan troops were defending Al Qaeda or the Taliban. They seem to be increasingly blatant about supporting terrorists.

Pakistan on Saturday accused NATO helicopters and fighter jets of firing on two army checkpoints in the country's northwest and killing 24 soldiers. Islamabad retaliated by closing the border crossings used by the international coalition to supply its troops in neighboring Afghanistan.
...
A spokesman for NATO forces in Afghanistan, Brig. Gen. Carsten Jacobson, said it was "highly likely" that close air support called in by Afghan and coalition forces operating in the border area caused Pakistani casualties.
...
Much of the violence in Afghanistan is carried out by insurgents that are based just across the border in Pakistan. Coalition forces are not allowed to cross the frontier to attack the militants. The militants, however, sometimes fire artillery and rockets across the line, reportedly from locations close to Pakistani army posts.
American officials have repeatedly accused Pakistani forces of supporting Â— or turning a blind eye Â— to militants using its territory for cross-border attacks.

If I'm reading it right, Pakistan shut all land routes, but not necessarily air routes into Afghanistan. 30% of our "non-lethal" supplies come via trucks through Pakistan.

Allowing the Taliban to fire mortars at US troops while hiding under Pakistan troops' skirts? Lovely.

Explanation: Actually they probably cut their air routes, too. The reason only 30% comes through Pakistan is that we send a lot of supply through Russia, a smart-guy informs me.

Russia hasn't closed routes yet, but they could.

This is what happens when you do not understand who your enemies are.

Osama lived for YEARS in Pakistan, as the most wanted man in the world... sorry, I do not believe they did not know he was there.

They have been playing us as chumps for years... milking us for Foreign and Military Aid... and then helping our enemies.

HOWEVER.. we have commited multiple blatant acts of War against their people, and soil..

There was a GREAT deterent against other countries messing with America, right up until Korea... when America went to War, it was Clear, and Unlimited...

Now, we are wishy washy, and have not finished off an Enemy since WWII... and as powerfull as we are, we are not WILLING to complete the job, so no one FEARS the Sleeping Giant anymore...

LOL.... we went from Sleeping Giant, to my Mom... (Mom will always give you money, bitches at you a lot, tells you what to do, but you go and do what you want anyway...).

84 76-These are the leftard parents who scream about the right for their kids to do whatever the hell they want overseas, but when the brats get into trouble, demand that the Embassy pull their sorry bacon from the fire. It is as if they thought that American law and procedure follows us wherever we go, and that sovereign nations can't subject visitors to their own law. These little mushheads were doing a junior or senior year abroad at American University in Cairo, which is a fine school by the way, but thought they were cool and shit by throwing molotovs at the Egyptian military and or police. Bet they were surprised when their Egyptian homies let them be taken by the police. Then mummie and daddie screamed at the State Department to get their children out of there NOW, or something, something would happen. The poor consular officer stuck with dealing with these schmucks did not go home for several days, I am fairly sure. And I wager he/she dealt with a lot of crap from their parents and congressional representative. All in all, a huge, crappy mess, because idiots think they can do whatever they want, anywhere they want, and not deal with the consequences. Sorry for my rant, but this is a huge pet peeve of mine. Oh, and I hope everyone here had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday.

What makes you think that when push comes to shove that they really give a crap about Mecca? I mean it is not like it's "occupied" but the Jews?

Nothing, thats just the default "shot over the bow". Then the shit starts.

Uh.... Mecca being destroyed is one of the things that have to happen for the Next Prophet to show up...

So some... like I'madinnerjacket in Iran? Who hates the Saudis anyway? and believes that Man will make the decisions which bring the End Times?

When you have a religion which says others must die, to get you to paradise, its not a good Idea to volunteer to do it for them...

All the better. Prove the 12er's wrong.

102 you know this is really concerning me. My friend that is a contractor out on the ground, doing security for supply (I think?) trucks just emailed me for my contact info. that means hes re-submitting me as next of kin...and hes worried. I hate this shit.

Its so badly managed, and they cant tell me jack shit so i just sit here reading the news feeling sick, and so not-in-control. All i can say is "I love you and will cry if you get hurt, so take care of yourself fucktard." and hope he can. theres so much that happens down there they just cant help.

My guy is somewhere not close to the Pak border, so i choose to be less worried about him. I have to. But every time this shit happens i am so so angry.

i never worried like this when Bush was president. NEVER. I knew things happened. I know mistakes are made. But i never felt like people in charge didnt give a shit, and could care less if some of our guys or even all of them died.

107 We invade Afcrapistan after 9/11 and start blowing shit up. Bush then turns to the Pakis and says 'you are either with us or against us -- no middle ground'. To sweeten the pot, he offers more aid.

So the Pakis take the money, loot most of it, and play nice for a while. But they feel no more commitment to the 'agreement' than you or I would if someone held a gun to our head and told us to vote for the SCoaMF. You have the power at the moment, but you're going to have to watch us every step of the way.

Speaking of the SCoaMF (spit), he then comes into the picture and the Pakis have to start holding their sides to ease the pain of all that laughing. What's his approval rating in Pakistan? It's under 20% but I couldn't find a recent poll. His poll rating for the entire Middle East is under 20% as of July. I doubt it has improved any.

Yesterday, he played golf once again.

117 Much of the violence in Afghanistan is carried out by insurgents that are based just across the border in Pakistan. Coalition forces are not allowed to cross the frontier to attack the militants.

What makes this more reprehensible is that Pakistan is not "neutral", but is supposed to be an ally.

131 That much was obvious when he didn't object to the villains in Sum of all Fears being changed from Muslims to Neo Nazis.

In Clancy's defense, his first line on the commentary was "This is Tom Clancy and I wrote the book that they completely ignored when they made this movie." He later had an argument with the obviously lib director that the President in the book had to be a lib because no Republican would ever wait for things to deteriorate to the point that using nukes was a serious option.

As for the we're the targets factor, bear in mind this is a video game. If the target was OWS, what would be the point? Challenge?

Also, consider playing as a tea partier in multiplayer vs. those OWS noobs.

136 Actually, it is valid to blame Bush for this.
We should have turned Afcrapistan and Pockestan to glass in 2001 rather than attempt to ally ourselves with taqqiyah operatives and worse yet try to build a nation where none can exist due to the benighted nature of their seventh century "civilization".

4. bomb the crap out of Waziristan any time we like
