Oh no! Is another war on the way?
http://news.yahoo.com/senator-consider-military-action-against-pakistan-164625239.html

When will this republican war machine insanity ever end??

War after war after war! None of them being paid for with higher taxes and no rich kids forced to serve and die in them of course!

Creating huge war deficits that the teabag rethugs want to pay for by looting and destroying SS and medicare and any other social programs they can get their filthy paws on!

Not to mention the young lives ground up in endless wars for the profit of the republicans corporate war sponsors.

Will this war madness ever end? Oh by the way I believe Pakistan is armed with nuclear missiles so this next little war might turn into the biggest nightmare this world has seen since WW2...

1. Such is life during Endless Wartime
And as long as we continue to support politicians who support it ON BOTH SIDES, it will continue.

4. I really doubt it
Senator Graham can rattle his sword all he wants but he's not going to get a war.

5. Oh man, this again? No, there won't be war with Pakistan - they have 'the bomb'.
There will be sabre rattling and diplomatic tiffs, but no outright war. Neither side wants it. The Pakistanis may be assholes, but they aren't maniacs. We will continue 'war by proxy' like we have been all along.

6. I can see it now..
Edited on Sun Sep-25-11 07:03 PM by workinclasszero
The first thing president Perry or Bachmann would do in office is immediately reinstate DADT, then start dropping nukes on Pakistan, Iran, etc, etc.

Of course Social Security and Medicare will have to be sacrificed for the cause because we sure as hell cannot tax those poor job creating rich teabaggers! :grr:

Never ending war and all those radioactive dust clouds circling the earth will make global warming take on a new glow, if you get my drift!

7. All Pakistan has to do is to stop the fuel truck convoys, and the Afghan force is screwed
All the fuel that runs the vehicles, HVAC, and other energy needs of the forces in Afghanistan is supplied by truck convoys from the Port of Karachi through over 500 miles of bad road in Pakistan.

Probably some fuel is supplied from Russia via Uzbekistan to the northern part of Afghanistan, but it would be very difficult to get it to Kabul and points southeast where the fighting is.

If there is a rupture of relations with Pakistan, then the Afghan war is over.
