Big trouble for Pakistan?
In what seems like a classic nose / face set-up, the Americans are not from legislating to cut off the tap of military aid to
And there's more, including a long overdue pulling out of the rug from underneath 'our friends the Saudis': "The new provisions form part of the Implementation of 9/11 Commission Recommendations Act, 2007, aimed at revamping the US national security and foreign policy apparatus to address challenges post 9/11. Three countries have been singled out in the proposed legislation:

You can skip to the end and leave a response.
Meanwhile, I'm off shortly and am unlikely to be around until tomorrow.
Ooh behave.
When you rentrez, you might be amused by "Tobago" in wikipedie.fr.
Obviously Britain will step into the breach and provide support for those key marginals around Islamabad and Lahore...
about time we drew up an accurate list of us and them.
Not sure what we do with the current cabinet though...
CU - Plse elaborate.
Not sure what we do with the current cabinet though...
read up on Colonel Thomas Pride...a feature of our constitutional arrangements long in abeyance but in need of reinvigoration
V- I meant in an a when the revolution comes manner...
As for the list. GWB was quite correct in his axis of evil speech. Probably his best effort in intenational policy.
In order to defeat an enemy you need to define what you are fighting. This is the problem with War on Drugs, Terror etc.
Withuot definition there can be no clear aims. We therefore need to define which states and groups we are at war with and then get on with it.
Pakistan is an absolutely pivotal player in a region vital to Western interests. That much is sure. The only problem is that a substantial percentage of the Pakistani population supports Osama bin Laden and the Taliban.The emergence of a radically Islamicised Pakistan, IMO, is the single, biggest threat to the security of western civilisation (not Iran, which is more or less contained, encircled by US military force and whose own people are increasingly opposed to the current president). India and Pakistan, the two superpowers in South Asia, are engaged in an escalating arms race. Imagine a Taliban style regime running the show in Pakistan, the nuclear dimension and so on....The new US Congress should engage in a bit of a rethink at least as far Pakistan goes -where the alternatives to the current regime are truly awful. The US Congress are right on KSA though...
India has been a saint - a mahatama - an avatar, even in its dealing with Pakistan and their bloody bomb. This is the muslim way. Keep pushing, pushing, pushing. Mr Bush is absolutely correct and has a better grasp of international politics than does anyone at the BBC or, indeed, the British media in general. Pakistan has to be cut back.
I was disappointed that we went over and helped them when they had that earthquake that killed 40,000. We should have been saying, "Thank you, God, instead of sending sniffer dogs over."
If you haven't already done so, may I recommend that you go to melaniephillips.com and read her Diary entry for today. It is about a huge meeting of London lefties, sponsored by Red Ken, and American muslim scholar Daniel Pipes. Read it and cheer.
It is 60 years this year since the Westminster Pariament created East and West Pakistan on the sovereign territory of India by the Independence of India Act Sect II
Mel Phillips? Her research is so poor she cd get a job with BBC Radio Guardian.

this guy - Do point out her errors in her post, will you?
BTW, strange how their hatred of dogs was suspended when the sniffer dogs came over to rescue them, eh?
The worst part of this story was, the dogs had to go into quarantine when they got back to England.
