NATO Airstrikes On Pakistan

Does anyone understand what is going on in Afghanistan and Pakistan? This is not a rhetorical question, I am asking it with direct simplicity.

We read about air strikes on insurgents in Pakistan, drone bombings in Pakistan, all kinds of Pakistan related warring led by the USA, and yet we are not at war with Pakistan, only with parts of Pakistan. No other country could possibly push another country around like this except the USA. Yet we read about it with ease of acceptance. Oh yeah, they're just bombing terrorists in Pakistan.

CS Monitor: NATO attack in Pakistan was 'self-defense,' says US
Islamabad's sharp reaction to the helicopter strikes Saturday came despite a long-standing understanding that allows the US-led International Security Assistance Force to pursue militants who attack Afghanistan from bases in Pakistan's rugged tribal territory.


...US-backed Afghan President Hamid Karzai had received overtures from senior Taliban leaders responding to his initiative to open peace negotiations.

It's Cambodia all over again. Were just bombing the Ho Ch Minh trail. Next will be an invasion to stop the flow of weapons to the Taliban. These klowns never learn do they? If only Obama had some guts.

Obama doesn't get it, he's the president. He's getting pushed around by the military complex.

My guess is the MIC has privately told him don't screw with us we destroy Presidents. Remember this, as the Roman Empire evolved the Praetorian guard ( that supposedly protected the Emperor) began to kill off those Emperors it didn't like or they felt were harming Rome. Get the picture?
