The biggest threat to the USA security is from the current administration made up of old clintonians and headed by the , yes we can commander in chief. They need to learn that in the holy land of afghan warriors, the foreigners have always lost, the consolation prize being the opportunity to fight the invincibles and survive, The current opponentsof the Pashtoon afghns are not a good match.

i like the comments; India should have been the natural ally of India, Let us hope that they form the allince now. The USA is going to end up like the Indian old allies, soviet union and jugoslavia?

Unfortunately there are some people in the Pentagon that are enamoured to dictators & military regimens. Look anywhere in the world and the CIA is supporting such countries. Same has been true with Pakistan. It has been ruled by the military (dictators) and the pentagon loves it. They will always influence the State Dept to go soft on their pals in Pakistan. There has to be a complete over haul of the mindset in the Pantagon before the US administration can take effective action against the land of the terrorist (also known as the terror factory of the world). I hope it won’t be another catastrophe in the US. That would be totally unaceptable because we are sending out our young men & women to keep the enemy away from the US soil. If they come here and it is proved that Pakistan was involved, I seriously believe that that will be the end of that country as we know it today.

The whole situation of this region first should be seen from RELIGION and HISTORY lens.
1. Jehad brookes no moderates and is binding glue between Alqaeda and ISI. No amount of Billions of Dollars can break that glue. Supporting successive Pakistani governments means funding Jehad against self. White House should replay 9/11 scenes on its televisions each time it writes cheques to Pakistan.
2. US wants democratic government in Pakistan but the population led by Mullas is most anti US. And White House does not see the disconnect.
3. India should have been a natural military, and political ally of USA. But where did the gap arise? How and why did Pakistan take place of India? Do not Indian policy makers have something to introspect?
4. Wrath against wiki leaks is against the process of using aid to kill US soldiers. Does it mean to endorse aid to kill Indian soldiers in Kashmir? and civilians in Mumbai? And hijack planes to Kandahar?
5. Terrorism in this part of world will recieve a setback only if aid to Pakistan is completely stopped and there is a strategic shift in US for fullest military and political cooperation with India.India should be a base for US operations. Is that feasible? If not , the terrorist state will continue to dictate world policy and both US and India will continue to pay with blood.

Here is news relevant to my comment on the US intending to occupy the Ferghana Valley: the following story from the US govt. Central Asian website, incites fear of an alleged impending “Islamist” attack in Batken. These fear stories always open the door to American intervention. http://centralasiaonline.com/cocoon/caii /xhtml/en_GB/features/caii/features/mai n/2010/07/27/feature-02

All – when will you people reslise that the US does things soley for its and Israels interests. The biggest economic earner is oil gas and weapons. It will only leave when its interests have become exhausted ie no resources left to plunder at which point its gaze will turn elsewhere.

There are those who say they are helping people but are in fact sowing the seeds of corruption in the earth…

@Shawn
Are Indians the only self obsessed people in the world. Do you think the US is conniving at blackmail for reasons other than self obsession, or Pakistan or any other country jousting for position out of purely noble reasons?

Get off your high horse before you topple and lose it completely.

For those who say the war must stop – Columbus! There is no one who doesn’t wish to see it conclude. But having stoked a fire there is a moral obligation to douse it completely instead of letting it burn just because it isn’t in your own backyard.

Only when the next attack on the American mainland comes from Pakistan will this see-no-evil, hear-no-evil and speak-no-evil policy come to an abrupt and shuddering halt and this thought is not just in the realms of fantasy anymore.
