When the U.S. starts to increase the size of the Military people wise, then you'll know we're serious about how far we are going to go. The greatest message we could send to the world's scumbags would be to resurrect the draft.

US asking Pak to pull back from Kashmir? via Hindustan Times (India) December 12, 2001 IANS (Washington, December 11) A leading American newspaper has said that the United States, after pressuring Pakistan to withdraw support to the Taliban, is now asking Islamabad for an even tougher pullback from extremism in Jammu and Kashmir. CIA director George Tenet, on a recent visit to Islamabad, pushed Pakistan's military leaders to monitor and put pressure on pro-Taliban religious extremists, including those in Kashmir, unnamed Washington experts were quoted as saying by the Chicago Tribune. The US, faced with growing evidence that Kashmir fighters are allied with Al-Qaeda and other terrorists groups, is now insisting that Pakistan back away. Most experts believe Musharraf will not be persuaded to withdraw support for Kashmir fighters without some kind of guarantee in return that India will come to the bargaining table on Kashmir, the paper said. Some observers think US pressure could help bring India and Pakistan to the negotiating table. afghan-web.com

His father, Terry Hicks, said yesterday his son called him on September 28 – 17 days after the terrorist attacks against the US – and told him he was fighting for the Taliban. "That's when I picked myself up from the floor," Mr Hicks, a Salisbury Defence Department surveillance research laboratory worker, said. "I think of a terrorist as someone with a bomb strapped to him, but he's a terrorist in our eyes as he's fighting against his own kind. "I told him what I thought of what he was doing." ] Continued at the link... theadvertiser.news.com.au
