[seemslikeadream]

I want names

Thank you



and btw if we are bombing Pakistan now does that mean we have declared war on that country also?




I thought Pak told us to stop

[Realityhack]

1. No. An act of war is diffrent than declairing war. n/t

[seemslikeadream]

2. quibbling

Just please answer the question, if you can.




How many civilians do we have to kill?

[Realityhack]

23. WTF? Do you speak english?

No. No it is not quibbling. It is a statement of fact.
A sad fact but true.

And you never asked the question regarding civilian deaths in your OP.

3. Congress

That the President is authorized to use all necessary and appropriate force against those
nations, organizations, or persons he determines planned, authorized,
committed, or aided the terrorist attacks that occurred on September 11,
2001, or harbored such organizations or persons, in order to prevent any
future acts of international terrorism against the United States by such
nations, organizations or persons.

[Bok_Tukalo]

7. Barbara Lee D-CA

That was the only invidual in our Legislative Branch to vote against the joint resolution.

5. You might want to check out Obama's stance about going into Pakistan after Bin Laden.

That would probably require troops as well as bombs.

11. Who needs permission

If you like to gamble, I tell you I'm you're man,
You win some, lose some it's all the same to me,
The pleasure is to play, it makes no difference what you say,
I don't share your greed, the only card I need is,
The Nukes Of Pakistan.

Playing for the high one, dancing with the devil,
Going with the flow, it's all the same to me,
Seven or eleven, snake eyes watching you,
Double up or quit, double take or split,
The Nukes Of Pakistan.

You know I'm born to lose, and gambling's for fools,
But that's the way I like it baby,
I don't wanna live forever,
And don't forget the joker!

Pushing up the ante, I know you wanna see me,
Read 'em and weep, the dead man's hand again,
I see it in your eyes, take one look and die,
The only thing you see, you know it's gonna be,
The Nukes Of Pakistan.

15. Who exactly is in control of the nukes there?

[DrDebug]

17. I sincerely hope it's somebody with a steady hand

Hey, Georgie got this far. The only thing which he hadn't accomplished yet was nuklar war. Until now ... What a way to end such an amazing eight years of depravity.

[seemslikeadream]

18. I have never been so scared in my life and then I have to hear a psychic

talk about things to come, it's getting very hard not to believe him longer.

14. Election desperation.

When it gets close to election day, Georgie likes to kill people. It 'stimulates' the reichbots a bit like hearing Sarah talk dirty to them.

20. Ex-soldier: Bin Laden was aided in escape

Ex-soldier: Bin Laden was aided in escape


By Henry Cuningham
Military editor


A man who says he is a former Delta Force officer will appear Sunday on “60 Minutes” alleging that he was undermined by Afghan allies and U.S. superiors on a mission to kill Osama bin Laden in 2001.

The retired Army major goes by the pseudonym of Dalton Fury in the report, which airs at 7 p.m. on CBS.

Fury says that in October 2001, he and a team of Delta Force soldiers joined CIA operatives and Afghan fighters commanded by Hazrat Ali, a warlord to whom the CIA paid millions in cash.

In a video clip from the segment, Fury wears a Special Operations Warrior Foundation cap and has a thick beard. He describes Afghan forces listening to bin Laden’s radio communications: “These guys, in my opinion, were more in awe of Osama bin Laden than they were willing to kill him. ... They could almost see him and feel his presence and they just stood there with wide eyes and somewhat in awe that here is the leader of the jihad ... and they’re actually hearing his voice over the radio.”

The U.S. and Afghan fighters chased bin Laden and an estimated 1,000 al-Qaida fighters into the Tora Bora Mountains, near the Pakistan border. The United States wanted to let the Afghans fight while U.S. special operations forces provided support and directed air strikes.

“The mujahedeen would go up and get into a skirmish … lose a guy or two, maybe kill an al-Qaida guy or two and then they leave … almost like it was an agreement. ... Put on a good show and then leave,” Fury says in the video.

Fury did not like the daytime frontal assaults.

“We wanted to come in on the back door,” he said.

Apparently, someone in the U.S. government nixed an early plan to climb the mountain from the Pakistan side and surprise the enemy.

“Whether that was Central Command (or) all the way up to the president of the United States, I’m not sure,” Fury said.

Fury said the denial was unheard of.

“In my experience, in my five years at Delta, never before,” he said.

Fury believes bin Laden was injured and allowed to escape.

A Special Forces soldier told the Fayetteville Observer in 2002 that he believes bin Laden could have been captured in November 2001, but a captain on the ground would not give approval to go after bin Laden because there was no specific mission order to do so.

Fury’s book, “Kill Bin Laden: A Delta Force Commander’s Account of the Hunt for the World’s Most Wanted Man,” goes on sale Monday, according to the Barnes & Noble Web site.
