In the wake of announcements that IRAN can now enrich uranium, Americans should prepare for a draft because the Republicans have spent our current forces in Iraq. Do you think Bush is stupid? Well, perhaps but still someone who pulls his strings knew exactly what they were doing by repeatedly slapping the nuclear power of Pakistan in the face. Bush will go up in the polls and now has a popular war to lose. Do you think Pakistan became more friendly with Iran after Bush buddied up with India, while insulting the rival government? If you thought Iraq was tough, you ain't seen nothing yet! I bet those defense contractors are rejoicing today. Wow, more big bucks for them as they finally get to use up some of those BIG weapons and develop some bunker busting nuclear technology. :nuke:
Here's a slightly dated news article for background:
http://hrw.org/english/docs/2006/02/25/pakist12717.htm(New York, February 25, 2006) – U.S. President George Bush should press his Pakistani counterpart, General Pervez Musharraf, to step down as army chief, hold free and fair elections, and restore civilian rule in Pakistan, Human Rights Watch said today. President Bush is scheduled to visit Pakistan this week.
:nuke:
I hope he had a nice visit."Turning a blind eye to Musharraf’s ongoing power grab undermines the Bush administration’s aim of fostering democracy in the Muslim world," said Brad Adams, director of the Asia division at Human Rights Watch. "President Bush must tell Musharraf that he can no longer count on U.S support to subvert the Pakistani constitution and block genuine elections."
