![]() I think we are largely agreed that Bush/Cheney are either dangerously incompetent or dangerously corrupt, or both. ![]() I mean, it's possible that Iraq at least showed that we were willing to mobilize a lot of troops, I'm just not sure what that actually could have bought us.īut that's alot of speculation. I've seen no evidence that the invasion of Iraq has lessened the relationship between the ISP and the Taliban. Their change of heart came after 9/11 when they suddenly became our buddies in the War on Terror. Pakistan already had nukes for years they aren't worried about us invading them. Which I think is the major reason why Iran wants them, to deter us from attacking (this being even before Iraq). The thing is, I doubt Iran and Pakistan believed the ludicrous WMD lies, so all we really proved is that we're willing to invade a country that doesn't have them. The frightening situation in Afghanistan and Pakistan is exactly why invading Iraq was the stupidest fucking thing we could have done.īut it did demonstrate American will to deploy far more forces than needed to conquer Iraq(enough to militarily conquer Iran or Pakistan in fact), if WMD ever got in the hands of someone like Saddam who was willing to use them. I mean aside from strengthening Iran, how fucking insane is it that because our military is so entangled in Iraq that we can't field enough forces in Afghanistan to hold onto bases and cities we'd previously taken from the Taliban? And forget about being able to do what the Pakistanis can't and go into the northern regions where the Taliban retreats to every winter! There's a real battle with real fronts against our real enemy going on, but we can't do the needful because we're stuck in a pointless quagmire! Not that Bush is actually the greatest danger in the world (I mean, he's a short-timer and lame duck at this point), don't sugar coat the massively stupid fuck-up that was the invasion, and it's effects on the situation. What a sad day that was.įrankly, that all scares the willies out of me.īut ignore the real world, lets worry about the Bush Dynasty and it's heinous attempts at holding a free election in Iraq. The Best part is they control the region the Taliban and Al-Qaeda retreated so completely the military is scared to go there and it would be suicide for the police to enter it.ĭon't forget when our only real choice for a "good guy", a moderate and a reformer loved by the people, willing to work with the West, and aligned with neither the jihadists nor the military, was assassinated on the campaign trail. They are pro-bin laden jihadists who we really wouldn't like to see in control of the nuclear weapons that AQ Khan built for Pakistan. They aren't the moderate muslim leaders we have over here. On one side is the corrupt military that controls most of the country by force. After Musharraf and the Pakistan military co-operated with the US to crack down on Islamic extremism, there is a virtual civil war going on in Pakistan. Today: Mostly cloudy with scattered showers and storms. Right now much of the weekend looks to be dry, but there could be a few showers and storms popping up to round out the weekend. Highs are in the low to perhaps mid-80s, and it’s a bit sticky too, but not too bad. The last half of the week looks pretty nice with some sun and just a few scattered showers/storms possible Thursday afternoon into Friday. Highs should climb back to or just above 80 midweek. ![]() We should be drier but can’t rule out a lingering spotty/isolated shower Wednesday as high pressure works in. Clouds and showers and storms provide a cooler high mainly in the 70s to near 80 with more humidity around to start this week too. As a result of this we will deal with some showers and storms today, tonight and to a lesser extent Tuesday. It’s an unsettled start to the week thanks to weak cold front and upper-level trough slowly moving into and through the area through Tuesday. ![]() BINGHAMTON, NY ( WIVT/WBGH) – After a very warm and muggy weekend with rain and storms for some, it appears the need for the umbrella/rain jackets continue to kick off the week.
