Pakistani Troops Ordered To Fire On U.S. Troops That Cross Their Border
Pakistani Troops Ordered To Fire On U.S. Troops That Cross Their Border

by Turkana

In September, U.S. forces invaded Pakistan. It was a relatively brief incursion, and it was described in our media as an attack on Al Qaeda militants. The little matter of Pakistan's territorial sovereignty wasn't particularly relevant. Except, of course, to the Pakistanis.

A few days ago, a U.S. missile killed more people in Pakistan. This was also described as an attack on militants. In Pakistan. Our erstwhile ally in the supposed war on terror. The Pakistani people weren't too happy about that, either. Today, Pakistan's government did something about it.

2. Pakistan Would Be Perfectly Justified to Avenge Benazir Bhutto
if she were set up by CIA or other black bag operation.

4. Hmm. Maybe we shouldn't have sent them those F16 parts

5. Don't try that on Canada - we may be polite and patient, but that would be intolerable.

Our present Harper cabal would waffle,

But there's more than a few of us Canucks would love to burn that White House,

AGAIN!
