Will we put the hammer down?

Quoted: Just cut off the military aid and let India do it for us. Isn't the reason for the Paki newks the fact that India has newks? I'd have less trouble with your suggestion if it was a gunpowder war. |

So you want to borrow more money from China to attack pakistan?
Umm ya we can't afford to borrow anymore money to play world police. |

The fuckers were hiding him. That is a fact, and they need to get a slap down.

Will we put the hammer down? What does that mean? You know: Put the pedal to the metal. Keep the shiny side up and the greasy side down. Stay clear of the county mounties and city kitties up in the rockin' chair. Catch 'em on the flip-flop. |

In this case put the hammer down I think is to pull the trigger and put the hammer down on a bullet. The Paki's are double dealing turds at best.

What is under the hammer gets hit by said hammer. That is so much clearer. |

Quoted: Quoted: Will we put the hammer down? What does that mean? "I said Big Ben this here is the Rubber Duck and I'm about to put the hammer down, 10-4" |

The phrase I think the OP is looking for is "drop the hammer".
|

I think changing the story from "killed last week" to "killed last night" sent a signal that we are still in the game with Pakistan. "killed last night" is RoPer PC talk, which will take the pressure off of Pak government after next Friday's prayer service. {as long as they do not find out about that piece of bacon}

What do Pakistan and Hiroshima have in common?
Nothing...yet. |

Quoted: Quoted: Will we put the hammer down? What does that mean? "terrorists and those that support them" |

Pakistan is at least partially responsible for the rise of the Taliban and Iran's nuclear weapons program. We should have never 'befriended' them in the first fucking place.
|
|
Now that it is claer the Pakis were hiding him......
Pakistan is not some monolithic country that is in charge of everything within its borders. I think the government's sphere of control is a might bit smaller than the borders represented on the map. |
|
Somebody protected him but remember, somebody ratted him out. Paki will take whatever side that suits the moment.
|
|
No, but if the hammer is put down and its a success, BHO will take credit. It the hammer gets put down and it s a failure, its Bush's fault.

There are at least two power groups in Paki, the offical .gov and the secret service that has strong ties to the Taliban and Al-Quadi. Sure an element was looking the other way while his compound was built and occupied a short distance from a Paki military complex. But the offical Paki .gov apparently helped us get the bad guy so there is that.

What is to gain from punitive action in Pakistan? Or anywhere else for that matter? Personal revenge I can understand, in some cases endorse. On a national level, we have better things to do with our men and money. If you want revenge, just recruit some young idealistic democrats to go over and "help poor Pakistanis" by "organizing their communities." Should provide a nice, slow, withering death that could be savored from afar, for free.

Quoted:
Factions...how do they work? Seriously! Pakistan is barely a coherent country much less a monolithic political bloc. The divisions in our country are nothing compared to the way some countries are split. |
|
We shouldn't go in. We're busy in Afghanistan, Iraq and now Libya. Can you say over-extended? Besides, we're still broke.
|
|
Maybe the Paks were convinced that it was in their best interest to stop hiding him.
$ or |

What is under the hammer gets hit by said hammer. But what if its another hammer? or What if it's a gay Marine hammer, made out of $1500/oz gold with a Robert E. Lee impression on the face? |

Pakistan is not some monolithic country that is in charge of everything within its borders. I think the government's sphere of control is a might bit smaller than the borders represented on the map. The town he was in was only a few fucking miles (30 or so) from there capital... Hell, Abbottabad is home to a major military university and is full of retired military personnel. I call bullshit. More than likely they were getting paid to hide him, then the money finally ran out. |

So we want to stay entangled with Pakistan, who is ambivalent toward us and harbors terrorists, to keep them out of a nuclear conflict with India, who is ALSO ambivalent toward us and an economic competitor. The results of which would be a destroyed Pakistan and a damaged India. Nope, still can't give a shit. |

Quoted:

Nope. Instead, we'll be giving more and more aid/weapons/whatever to Pakistan in the future to help balance a growing India.
|

Who says Pakistan was hiding him?
I kinda thought he was an illegal immigrant and was hiding from them with a bunch of his sympathisers. There's probably some serious questions to be asked about how he came to be there and who was giving him safe haven but the entire nation of Pakistan wasn't hiding him. I don't hear much in the way of protests about Bin Laden's demise coming out of Pakistan right now. Quite the contrary |
|
Okay, I'll ask, How is it clear that the government of Pakistan knew where OBL was?

Quoted: Maybe the Paks were convinced that it was in their best interest to stop hiding him. $ or I suspect that the Pakistanis, in general, were more than willing to drag this out as every year we poured more money into Pakistan. However I would also bet some individual Pakistanis decided it was time to cash in and make Bin Laden fish food. |

It means Pockistan is the nail, and we are the hammer.
It's time to flatten that annoying nail-pop. |
