Bush could send troops into Pakistan to strike Bin Laden

* Pakistan terms such action ‘unacceptable’ and ‘counter-productive’
November 30, 2007

ISLAMABAD: The US would send troops into Pakistan if intelligence was received enabling a strike at Al Qaeda chief Osama bin Laden, AFP quoted US President George W Bush as saying on Wednesday.

Pakistan angrily reacted to the US president’s remarks he made in an interview to CNN, by saying, “such concerns have been expressed on a number of occasions. We have made it clear that any such action would be unacceptable.”

Bush reaffirmed his confidence in President Musharraf’s commitment in the war against terror and also acknowledged the difficult situation in combating terrorists along rugged mountainous areas bordering Afghanistan. Bush said he is thankful to Pakistan for its key cooperation in the fight against terror, reported APP.

About Musharraf, Bush said, “He has been an absolute reliable partner in dealing with extremists and radicals, and it’s a tough situation in the remote parts of Pakistan. But there are many examples of where the Pakistanis have, in cooperation with the US, brought to justice members of Al Qaeda’s hierarchy. And I’m thankful for that.”

.........In another article, I read that ex CIA director swears up and down that bin Laden has been trying for years to get his evil hands on Pakistan's nukes. We can believe him, right?

1. Coincidence that Bhutto's assassination follows this development?
The only thing that this asshole * is doing is stirring up tensions that are already high.

3. This might actually hurt Musharraf more than help him.
If the US comes into Pakistan in large numbers, people will say Musharraf let them in, and they will pin the blame on him.

11. Personally....
I think Bin laden would love to have some nukes. He is a religious nut with a homocidal streak. He is our very own special creation! (thanks daddy bush...asshat)
