This falls into the "WTF!" category.

McCain and Lieberman, visiting Pakistan, have threatened them with military air strikes, via India, if they don't turn in terrorists.

I wish I were making this up.

Inky99's diary :: ::
ISLAMABAD: United States Senator John McCain has said there is enough evidence of the involvement of former Inter-Services Intelligence officers in the planning and execution of the Mumbai attacks.

If Pakistan did not act swiftly to arrest the people involved, the Senator said, India would be left with no option but to conduct aerial operations against select targets in Pakistan.

Can someone please tell John McCain that he lost the election in the United States?

What the F is this guy doing over there, stirring things up like that? What possible authority does this idiot have? And why is The Traitor Joe Lieberman with him?

Or is "The Hindu" an Asian version of "The Onion"?

1. Lieberman is SHOWING why he and McKlan can NOT be trusted

[and-justice-for-all]

2. They do not have the authority...

and should be scolded for their comments.

3. Jeez, I don't envy Hillary her job with these meatheads around.

4. Used to be that getting destroyed in a general election was...

...a pretty clear clue that you should shut the fuck up and exit stage right. Unfortunately, it seems even this minimal degree of class is far beyond the grasp of the current political generation.

5. Did someone add wings to the Straitjacket Express?

7. Oh, it's real..

And it's been all over CNN-IBN all weekend in their news report loops.
With the fucking caption "McCain threatens Pakistan". Um....with WHAT authority??????????? It's Monday morning there now and his face is still on their news.
He followed Condi..or she followed him, I should say. He went to India (while she was playing the piano for the Queem of England) then she went there...then he popped up in Pakistan w/Lieberman, and then she showed up.

Good livestream, BTW. Gives a good feel for how this is all playing out in their nation's news...before it gets filtered by OUR news.

8. What the hell?

Who told them to go and threaten anybody? What was the reason for their visit? I've been avoiding the tv this weekend.

9. Did anyone actually read the article?

Some of the comments here don't support people actually reading the article.

10. Leiberman obviously has the Democratic Party by the balls.......

is this cause enough to get rid of this Traitor?

What does he have to do to finally be booted?

Beyond that, PRESIDENT ELECT Obama needs to get on the horn and tell SENATOR McCain and Leiberman to shut their mouths.

Unbelievable..........

11. Ironically, they are proposing the same thing they attacked Obama for during the election

Didn't they criticize Obama for being naive for saying that if we had actionable intelligence against terrorists located in Pakistan, and Pakistan was unwilling to do anything, that we should act upon it.

12. And I was JOKING today when I said.....

.... I was listening to a report on our President's superawesome New Deal for the 21st century and remarked, "can you imagine if McCain had won? He'd just be going around shooting at people."

Wow.
