It will break and pierce the hand of whoever has been leaning on it.<br /><br />But Pakistan has a powerful friend in Communist China, bought with every secret Pakistan was privy to when the SEATO alliance existed. And Pakistan is so solicitous towards China that it stays as mute as the fishes over Chinese persecution of Muslims, and will gladly turn in even the most peaceful Uyghur refugee on its soil.<br /><br />Yes, let's get out of that part of the world. <br /><br />And, BTW, anonymous, one reason why US intelligence is so lousy is because high-minded people forbade the CIA's cultivating and talking to the lowlifes who join movements like Qaida, grow disenchanted with it, and would be willing to sell their onetime comrades for a few dollars. Oh, nooooooooo. America must be much more clean-handed and lawyerly than that!Kephahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00999385775493831638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1400985529434569506.post-13274931049605455782011-05-06T23:04:53.962-04:002011-05-06T23:04:53.962-04:00I am not aware of the CIA torturing prisoners, are...I am not aware of the CIA torturing prisoners, are you? It seems, furthermore, that KSM, one of three persons to be waterboarded is the one who gave up the key piece of information that put the CIA on the trail of Osama.DiploMadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02316439950882822419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1400985529434569506.post-33486240879120187882011-05-06T12:49:00.082-04:002011-05-06T12:49:00.082-04:00Your assessment of Pakistan is quite correct, but ...Your assessment of Pakistan is quite correct, but why piuck on the Democrats? Had the CIA under Bush concentrated more on collecting intelligence than on torturing prisoners, Bush might have had the honor of getting OBL. You conveniently failed to mention that Obama, the hjated Democrat, finished the job that Busg blew when he went after Iraq.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
