Look at the language its President used in his address to the nation: [url]http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/world/south_asia/newsid_1552000/1552827.stm[/url]

take a listen to the audio clips from BBC radio in the top right corner of the page.

I hope the Administration doesnt think they have Pakistan in their pocket yet and can take them for granted.  This government is holding on by its fingernails.

We havent leaned on a "friendly" country this hard, against the will of so many of its people since the Teddy Roosevelt administration.

Frankly, I don't think the prez gives a damn about Afganistan or their military.  But the Islamic radicals in his own country are a problem for him.  

Things get stickier by the day.

Dude...

We're gonna have to help them $$ wise. Every country we get something from in the 3rd world it's the same old story: KA-CHING!

Sad that there isn't one of 'em that'll just help us out with out trying to extort something from us. Even after Saddam lied to Hosni Mubarak, president of Egypt, and went ahead and invaded Kuwait - to which Mubarak pledged support - we had to pay him boku $$ to join us and fight Saddam. Unbelievable!
