    Default Pakistan won't allow Americans to hunt for terrorists in Pakistan

    http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080713/...as/us_pakistan

    Perhaps they should take a peek over the border to see what happens to countries that harbor terrorists?

    Sure, they aren't specifically harboring them, but we all know they aren't doing jack- to stop them either.

    Edit: I am not proposing an invasion of Pakistan! lol

    I am not proposing an invasion of one of America's allies. But they must certainly see that this course of action will have tremendously negative effects.

    Pakistan has its own stability to consider.

    If the Pakistan Government doesn't want the America hunting terrorist in thier Country its thier fu..ing right to do so.
    Pakistan is a souvereign nation and USA has no right at all, to demand that Pakistan let US Troops in to hunt terrorist.

    Um Pakistan says publicly it wont allow hunting of terrorist in their borders but, and judging by past articles in Times etc what they say privately might be quite different. As said above Pakistan has its own stablity especially considerin€g there are elements of their intel agency that has dubious loyalty to Pakistani goverment so it cant very well go yes we have allowed americans to come across our borders. Factor in if you are US you wouldnt want it acknowledged anyway given the likelihood/history of Pakistani intel of passing along info to the very people the US are looking for. Obviously dont know this for sure but it would be my guess and I think quite likely.

    He was also an imbecile.

    Push your luck too far, push other people too far by acting like a brute with all brawn and no brains and they will lash out in retaliation.

    USA couldn't handle much more international problems. So even Bush II The Stupid and his cronies are learning value of not acting like cowboys.

    In the end, one should remember that one mans terrorist is other ones hero. And vice versa.


    Everyone is warhero, genius and millionaire in Internet, so don't be surprised that I'm not impressed.

    Osama is a criminal a terrorist and not a enemy nation you can declare war against.

    You need the allowence of a nation to send your troops thier, you need the allowence of nations to use thier air space/ to get flight rights.

    And its said by international treaties us signed once.

    I think Pakistan wants to hunt down the terrorists itself. Though they should at least ask for American aid.

    Oh well, I guess more Pakistanis should buy hunting rifles and hunt for terrorists in Pakistan themselves. Or raise the price on foreign hunting licenses.

    I read a book where at the start of the war in Afghanistan, the americans paid the pakistani boarder guards to lend out "terrorists" and some who follow islam-studies to the "extreme"

    So why let the americans get in and do their thing when the Pakistani can earn money for it?

    That was Pakistan under the military dictator, and hence close friend of America, Musharaf.

    You might not have noticed, but to the huge disappointment of America and all it stands for, Pakistan has since progressed towards democracy (though not yet fully achieved) and it's this democratically elected government that doesn't allow American military interventions.

    And you really can't blame the Pakistani's, given the behavior of US soldiers and their total disregard of civilian casualties. - sometimes the cure does more damage than the illness.

    I suppose you think Musharraf stepped down as head of the military by his own accord, and not because of U.S. pressure? Musharraf stated he wouldn't let foreign troops in Pakistan either, it's nothing new. Musharraf is still president, after all. I think it's happening covertly. Something like 60% of Pakistanis consider the U.S. to be its enemy, it'd be bad politics to admit to letting NATO and U.S. troops on Pakistani soil.

    Yeah, pardon? So, why do they prefer Taliban if civilian lives are really their concern?

    In pakistan America is the Great Satan... of course theyre not going to allow america to look for terrorists in public... But if theres soldiers that can speak a bit of arabic and dont mind wearing a ridicolous hat then they would probably allow them to search for them in private.
