India vs Pakistan - Page 6

Fireduck,
Once again I direct you to the facts of the oil industry.
The US does not need soldiers to control the oil industry.
They already do.
They never relinquished control of it.
They pulled the same scam they used on the government when the monopolies were ordered to break up.

I don't know what the exact figures are today, but Standard Oil and British Petroleum have a very firm finger in the pie of Arab Oil, controlling a huge percentage of it.

To put it bluntly, they get a cut, just like the Mafia does with the Teamsters and other unions here.

Why start a war over what you already have?

I wonder if the saying, 'The bigger man always makes the first move' rings true here?

Oh, we really need to lean on Musharif on this one.
We don't want those radicals there either, and really he doesn't either.
We need to get our focus back over there.
Jeez, so many irons in the fire. No wonder all our Presidents turn gray-headed in their first term!

Its crazy how some try to 'tempt' the US to 'come get them'. Some of the populace wouldn't mind taking on the US, but to what end really? I doubt the military government would go along with it.

From CNN:

THREE U.S. SERVICEMEN SHOT

Three U.S. service members were shot in southwestern Pakistan Friday while
flying on a training mission in a transport helicopter with Pakistani forces,
Maj. Gen. Rashid Qureshi, Pakistan's presidential and army spokesman, said
Sunday.

India vs Pakistan

"miscreants".
I love it. What a choice of words!

This is where the US has to do a balancing act.
We are far too powerful to go randomly blasting away at every little bit of sniper fire.

We do need more Special Forces in there, however. In the mountains, hunting them down, we can make their lives quietly miserable without arousing public wrath.

These two countries are something else, one minute they are ready to rip their heads off and the next they want to dismantle all nuclear activity. But is all just talk?

From CNN:

prepared to do the same.
