Error of Judgment
by Jehan Mir on Aug 01, 2007 11:47 PM


This only shows immaturity and poor judgment and complete lack of understanding of the internal milieu of the region on part of Obama.

That would be an all out attack on a sovereign nation and the last thing USA wants to do is to lose Pakistan as an ally in war against terror which was introduced by US and US intervention in Afghanistan.

If USA is so concerned about to and fro traffic across Afghan-Pakistan border,the better part of the valour would be to pull out 50,000 US troops from South Korea and put them to gaurd the border.

I don't know who Obama, as a Presidential Candidate is trying to please by making such irrational statement. This is certainly not a vote getting strategy.



Indiscriminate B-52 bombings of North Vietnam ,night after night for ten years produced no results ,except loss of some innocent civilians lives.
