Pakistan...Afghanistan...Time to get out
In my hand is a recent Time Magazine with Ghadafi's characture with half his face blown off. Inside is a photo taken just inside Pakistan showing a long train of fuel trucks ablaze, sabotaged by Taliban fighters safely inside of Pakistan.
The fuel? headed towards our troops in Afghanistan, through the "safe passage" guaranteed by our "friends, our buddies," the Pakistani government. Those same Pals, friends of the USA who hid out Bin Laden, the described, "Most Dangerous Man in the World" by Colonel Oliver North.
Bin Laden: it escapes me how long he was on the FBI's most wanted list.
Pakistan, our "friend." Hark en back to a former post where I spent time with an Army Gunner who is now back on duty in Afghanistan, sitting in Army personnel carrier, hands on a .50 caliber, pointed northwest at the Pakistani boarder, awaiting the return of the Taliban, who " flee into Pakistan for the winter. Come spring, they'll be back and we have to start fighting them again. We can't go after them. Politics," he says.
Pakistan, the country that dares criticize US for going in after Bin Laden during our attack. I wonder out loud how much foreign aide we STILL give them? With the current State Department in place..God help us.
Remembering the old saw about, "We have to fight them there, so we don't have to fight them here," well, as Dr. Phil would say, " How's that working for ya?" It isn't. Check out the whackos at Fort Hood, the nut-ball with fire in his underwear, or the arrest of Muhammed what's his name two days ago, and I can't remember who is and who isn't an American citizen.
Time to roll up our tentacles, pull back the troops to home base, and worry about San Diego, Portland Maine, Fort Sill, Dry Tartugas, Hilo, and a dozen other places around here. And, we should do it now.
