Petraeus isn't predicting a breakup in two weeks per this article. He's calling a critical period in assessing what's going to happen though.
There's a massive difference that most of you numbskulls haven't seemed to grasp. Thus you're appropriately mis-fueled to go off on your rants- for which I thank you.
May your emotions dominate the narrative. See the color?
BE the color. Yup. Red, white & blue is all we need to get to you. Waving a red kerchief at a bull.
...and with that your voices heard at last to reject whatever is brought forth from congress because we WILL, sadly, offer something. Why, I'm unsure. We can only reasonably safely deliver civil aid to Sindh (maybe) and Punjab (maybe). Important but not anywhere near where we'd hoped to make a difference. NWFP, FATA, N.A., Baluchistan-you know, those places that see way to little of your own public monies?
As to ARMY TRAINING, SIR!!, it's B.S. to think that you need any. You've been directing insurgent ops in Kashmir for decades. You know all about how networks are set up, who, and where-on both sides of your country. You've decades of after-action debriefs from mujahideen fighters in the Afghan-Soviet and Kashmir fights.
At least...you should.
Finally, as I've previously mentioned and icecold pointed to here-if at war, fight. You'd fight the Indians with anything at hand- knives, pitchforks, brooms, rocks. Why not the taliban?
If not your war then quit being mercenary guns for hire and get out or declare war on us as we'll not be getting out of the Islamic Emirate of Waziristan (at least w/ PREDATOR) anytime soon.
So you might as well aid the Waziris against us.
I'm sure most here would agree that this would clarify matters tremendously for everybody concerned.
