So the United Kingdom is going to go to war with Pakistan, right? |
|
I mean they were attacked by terrorists that were trained in that country. The Pakistani government is a festering cauldron for terrorists. Shouldn't the United Kingdom take out Pakistan ala United States, 9/11, & Afghanistan? It would be their best defense IMO. Why haven't we been hearing plans for an invasion?

4. India is next door to pakistan |
|
and you and I both know that Britain would *LOVE* to have that little piece of real estate back in the empire.
They'd see a big jump in job creation, too.

The M.O. doesn't change:
The terrorists are from our ally (Pakistan/Saudi Arabia), so attack somebody we don't like that had nothing to do with it (Iran/Iraq).
Why? Well, I guess just because, well, we don't like them.

8. No Pakistan has nuclear weapons |
|
For the Bush doctrine to be active the non-offending country must not have nuclear weapons or any type of weapons of mass destruction.

The USA would be the UK's next target, for training the Paki/Afghani mujuhadeen with ISI support for all those years...
Hmmm....this could get a little DICEY!!!

I didn't even think about that. Hopefully they will be led by Cornwall's descendants!

11. Nah, France is the obvious choice. |
|
It's closer, has a long history of opposing British interests, and is whining about not getting the olympics.
Definitly France.
