Newsweek Advocates War with Pakistan

[tecelote]

Check out the front cover of this week's (Oct 29) cover of Newsweek and check out the title - "The Most Dangerous Nation In The World Isn't Iraq. It's Pakistan"

http://www.newsweek.com/

So, the war in Iraq is not enough, the war in Afghanistan is not enough, the nearly inevitable war with Iran is not enough, now we should consider Pakistan?

War Mongers!!

1. GE. They bring good things to living. And war.

[cornermouse]

2. You forgot Cuba.

Apparently Bush announced recently that Cuba is planning to overthrow Castro and communism. I believe that's a prelude to war?

[baldguy]

3. What other allies in the ME can we attack next? Israel? Saudi? Turkey?

The most dangerous nation in the world isn't Iraq. Its America with Republicans in charge.

4. Sorry, I can't tell if you are being sarcastic

It's a good story actually. Direct link. http://www.newsweek.com/id/57485
It's also what a lot of good liberals have been saying for a while now.
IMO, there is no advocacy for war in the article, just good journalism.

5. Well, as long as we're in the neighborhood, right? Let's see, who

are we missing...

6. Wow!!

I think that they are actually advocating for the US to send troops in-

Today no other country on earth is arguably more dangerous than Pakistan. It has everything Osama bin Laden could ask for: political instability, a trusted network of radical Islamists, an abundance of angry young anti-Western recruits, secluded training areas, access to state-of-the-art electronic technology, regular air service to the West and security services that don't always do what they're supposed to do. (Unlike in Iraq or Afghanistan, there also aren't thousands of American troops hunting down would-be terrorists.)

What like it would be a good idea to have thousands of troops there TOO?

[tecelote]

7. Yes.

Plus, just look at the cover photograph and forget the words. What does it say to you?

9. I actually have it on my desk in front of me as I type--it says, these

guys are coming to behead you, America.

8. Hell YEAH....Let's just NUKE 'em ALL! and hit No Korea as a side dish...

Sheesh... Can Newsweak get even more disgusting. BUT...maybe they are trying to point out that Pakistan poses a much greater threat than Iran and that Chimpy's toady there...is still hiding Osama for the Neo Cons who want endless war when the Ghost of OSAMA still shows his head whenever Bush/Cheney need to terrorize Congress. Who knows...? Maybe it's a good thing what Newsweak is doing. Sowing confusion in the minds of their Dentist/Doctor's office readers.

10. Promoting the Outrage?

I can only hope.

Then again, they do have an article called "Cheney & Deliverance" which asks readers to question what's sane and what is insane about the actions of Cheney and Lewis.

Hmmm...

11. Hope Springs Eternal.....I know it does for Me...no matter how much I'm Duped....

:shrug:

[tecelote]

14. Yeah, Yeah, Yeah...

...anything to sell a magazine.

At least I had a moment of hope.

The cover photo says it all.

The New Amerikan Way.

War = Profit.

Outsource the Army, Air Force, Navy and Marines to Mercenaries - it's more profitable.

The will of the people doesn't matter.

Taxes for Bombs not Babies.

Support the troops but not the veterans.

Corporations trump government.

Torture the truth.

The President as CEO.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How did our government go so wrong?

[Larynx Oblation]

12. Proud To Be An Amerikan?

Just gives me another reason not to declare that I am an Amerikan.

13. I want the editors of Newsweek or their relatives

between the ages 0f 18-42,drafted and sent into combat at the first wave of attack.
