Here is the leader of one of the most corrupt governments in the world, the "winner" of an election this fall that was so crooked it would have made the old Soviets blush, and he's lecturing us. Unbelievable.

Obama told the Pakistani president directly that if they don't do anything about the Taliban in his country, we will. I agree with him that we have spent too much time screwing around with countries that take our money and then do little or nothing.

>You're right. Very unreasonable of them to conceal themselves like that. Maybe we should do a deal, they stop hiding amongst the civilian population and our guys wear day glo jackets with targets on the back.


Exactly. I once read a comparsion this would be if the nazis had argued they where forced to bomb london citicens because the english goverment was hidden among them.
