"BAGRAM AIR BASE, Afghanistan, Dec. 31 -- U.S. military authorities announced today that a brief shootout erupted between U.S. soldiers and Pakistani troops along the Afghan border Sunday, prompting the U.S. forces to call in an F-16 warplane that dropped a 500-pound bomb on the Pakistanis to end the clash."

Sounds like a good start to me......

Why don't they save the bombs and drop uncooked pork on those guys?

I can see the Platoon Sergeant making the radio call now, mumbling "Take a shot at me, huh? How 'bout a 500lb knuckle sandwich, assholes." under his breath.......

The Pakis are not exactly friends with the USA. Paki strongman Pervez Musharraf is a dictator and is a sponsor of state terrorism. The Paki spy and secret police agency Inter-Services Intelligence(ISI) was responsible for equipping, training, and installing the previous murderous and intolerant Taliban regime in Afghanistan. Only after giving the USA a little lip service, Pakistan stationed troops on the border supposedly to guard against fleeing Al Qaeda and Taliban fighters, but instead allowed thousands of them to flee into safety into eastern Pakistan.

I am looking for a U.S. owned oil refinery with a BIG parking lot! But really, I think that if we re going to be over there, we need to stop bullshitting and get down to business. Are we looking to start a war? If so do it, if not bring our soldiers home!

We should replace N.J. with Israel and make the middle east glow.

At the very least, isn't it nice to know somebody learned a lesson from Somalia? More specifically, the Battle of Mogadishu?

I saw the news yesterday and they said a Paki crossed the border and the US soldier told him to get back across.  Then the firefight broke out.  No other details given.  That's the way to do it- pull out the big guns (500lb.) and end the shit NOW!!

? Same for you guys- every time I hit a link to the Washingmachine Post they want personal info.
