>There's no doubt that everyone here is behind GW 100%. But, by God, he better do his job right or there's going to be Hell to pay. By Hell to pay, I don't mean Republicans will lose the the White House, or the majority in Congress. I mean we'll find Anthrax in the water supply, or a nuke in a crate, or you name it.<
Unfortunately, Junior has indicated that he will take the same approach with this a Senior did with Iraq. If you recall, Senior left Saddam in charge.
Tonight I saw an interview with a military spokesperson. He stated that the U.S. was preparing to engage in sustained actions against six nations with strong ties to international terrorism. This list included Afganistan, Pakistan, Iraq, Iran, and North Korea. I think it also included Libya, but can not recall for certain.
Of course, while this statement was being made, scrolling across the screen was a message that the U.S. was negotiating with Pakistan for rights to stage airstrikes from Pakistan. Presumably, if Pakistan were to agree to this, they would be struck off the list.
The biggest wild card in such a scenario is that both Pakistan and North Korea have nuclear weapons. Neither could strike the U.S., but if North Korea were to launch strikes against South Korea, Japan, and Russia, they could possibly significantly reduce international support for the U.S. actions. Of course, if Pakistan is cooperating with the U.S., Korea might think twice about escalating this to the nuclear level. |
