- WE ARE STILL BOMBING PAKISTAN ALL THE TIME: Sure Syria was big news this weekend, but did you know that US-led forces or CIA drones have been involved in 12 air strikes in Pakistan in the last 10 weeks? The Pakistani president does not care for this one bit. [ABC News (the Australian one)]
Well, of course. A kiloton of prevention is worth a megaton of cure.
Did something happen in Syria? I was infected by zombies and couldn’t find a TV.
I syriasly can’t pakistand this anymore.
Real men still want to go to Damascus! And Islamabad, too!.
Jesus, how much more damage can Bush do in the next 80 something days. Just watch….
Don’t these drone planes deprive our future JahMcCain’s of their future campaign narratives?
Real Americans like me think Pakistan and Syria are the same thing, so bomb it all.
OBL gives this 2 thumbs up.
Sussemilch: Yes, while you were amongst the Zombie Apocalypse, we were kicking some Syrian farmer ass. They’ll think twice before builing a barn again. USA! USA!
This is the international crisis Biden warned of. We just didn’t count on it being started started by Bush.
oh and cia drones? how will the typing pool deal with these staff shortages?
Godammit, can we take the keys away from the fuckwits currently occupying what passes for “leadership” in this country?
Scarab: oh, i did.
Hahaha, suck it, Pakistan! When Hopey is elected, he will be president of all Muslins everywhere!!!1111!!!
Then he will bomb John Hagee by rolling him in dough and finding the wet spot!
Remember, IslamaBAD, libruls!
“The Pakistani president does not care for this one bit.” See? this is the problem with people today. It all me, me, me. Your bombing is not good for me. Your bombing of my country is causing me problems. What about us? What about our needs? Geesh.
Killing Bin Laden is the super-secret-magic-win-button for the Republicans. Plus, Bush’s Presidential biography would then read something like this:
Compassionate conservative, stolen election, 911 OMG!!! bomb bomb bomb WMD shoot kill bomb Iraq bomb bomb bomb blah blah blah horrible economic failure collapsing economy etc. But he got Bin Laden!
no, he doesn’t dislike it, he just doesn’t, y’know, like, i mean, care, like, at all, dude. it’s like, 8pm there or something. dude will have the hookah ragin’ and toally not give a crap.
Since Republicans are all racist, bidenist haters, GW and Special Dick want to make sure as much as the world hates us (that’s U.S.) as much as possible by the time Barry takes office. So, what do you do? Bomb the shit out of allies, enemies, everyone for no reason and don’t pick up the phone when the call to bitch. “Thank you for calling the White House. If you’re country was recently bombed, please hang up and try back later.”
Next to be seen: drones circling Overton, Florida and the Virginia suburbs of DC. No terrorist left behind.
Country first.
Obama’s birth certificate was located in Pakistan. The drones were sent in to destroy it.
Powerful, our battle droids may be, but only a matter of time it is before a mighty clone army our enemies will raise. A great disturbance in the force I feel.
The USA bombing Middle Eastern countries is simply not news.
Now, when Predator drones are launching attacks on polling places in Fake Virginia, that’ll be news.
12 in 10 weeks? Slackers… let’s get to work people! We’ve got a new war to engineer, and only 8 days left to get it hot! If Pakistan isn’t going to take the bait, we’ll switch to Syria. C’mon!
Way OT, but just looking at 538.com and if you just count the states that they give over a 95% chance of going for Obama, the total is 288.
Just wanted to share that.
golliwog: No, it was in a barn in Syria…
magic titty: Amen.
gurukalehuru: Why do you think we’re bombing shit? Duh.
And yet every 10 minutes the arab terrorist Barack Hussein continues to provocatively and naively announce that the bombing of arab terrorists in POCK-is-TAN will begin in 10 minutes. Why does he continue this reckless and undiplomatic scimitar-rattling?
golliwog: Don’t you mean “retrieve it”. You forget who’s still charge.
If Smirky Monkey and the Dickless Chainer had any true cojones, they’d cut to the climax, quit this patty-assing around with the borders of Syria and the tribal areas of AfghaniPak, and bring some old-fashioned USAF shockin-awe down on Iran. Maybe we’ll get to see that before Election Day. Everybody ready to place their bets? (Oh, and the cars are gassed up, the water and canned goods are secured, and the muskets taken down from over the fireplaces, right? Just askin…)
All I know is those bombing runs in Pakistan better not hit those gates of hell that McCain is going to chase bin Laden to. They have to be standing and closed for McCain to shove OBL into them and spout off a one liner about “Messing with the wrong country” before putting a grenade in Osama’s mouth and pulling the pin.

StripesAndPlaids:
Exactly. Why won’t these people stop whining and start bathing, shaving, and bowing to our best of all possible Judo-Christian worldviews?
Jeebus. What the hell is wrong with us? We should be banning the anti-American places like NOVA or SF, NY and the such.
…12 strikes with drones in 10 weeks? Will all of our future war heroes be gamers?
al-jazeera did a piece on how sending more troops in afghanistan wouldn’t matter much (and this is even according to the pro-west voices in the area) — that instead we need to invest more in the infrastructure, like bridges and schools, along the afghan-pakistan border. otherwise it just turns into whack-a-mole. sounds reasonable.
just a hunch, but if hopey was looking to lose this thing in the next nine days, he should start campaigning around the theme of al-jazeera-backed wealth redistribution to muslims. punching a few babies probably wouldn’t hurt, either.
It’s just Texas George’s bar fight spilling into the street.
grendel: And why gas is suddenly $2.50 a gallon.
AngryBlakGuy: Assuredly. And Uncle Sam will pay us in quarters.
The Republican Wag the Dog attempt to sway the election by killing Osama bin Laden in October better hurry up and kick into gear.
AngryBlakGuy:
Yes, as long as the Air Farce buys aircraft it can’t afford to lose in combat by a McCain wannabe that ignores SAM warnings.
Gopherit: “And why gas is suddenly $2.50 a gallon.”
Supply and demand, my friend. The world economy is collapsing, nobody can afford to go anywhere, nobody’s buying anything that needs to be shipped from hither to yon, nobody’s going long on futures, nobody’s making the countless electronic toys that take so much oil to make, and you can’t drink it. Don’t worry, it’ll go back up. In fact, it looks to be in the cross-hairs for some increased taxation, wot say?
Sluggo is Ataunurjautisbadistan!
Dubya’s in cram mode — “Quick, we’ve got a week to fix the economy, find Bin Laden, secure our ports, build a wall around Mexico, cut more taxes, bring democracy to the Middle East, fix Social Security — oh, crap. Maybe we should just phone it in for the next few months and hope history rewrites itself.”
magic titty: Yeah, it’s right on the Iraq-Pakistan border.
With this strategy, Predator drones will be circling Bill Ayers’ house this afternoon. The other Republican strategy was better: Catch the guy responsible for 911 by defining that person as someone they had already caught.
Have the Bushies had their brains eaten by zombies? Because damn.
tremendous: Ha! I think it’s so cute the Pakistani president think they have some sort of say over this. Silly president. Don’t they know it’s the new world order in charge?
FUN FACT: W. Bush’s nickname for Pakistan is Wackystan.
Let’s march to Islamabad! We will be treated as liberators.
I thought Sara wrote “The Pakistani president does not care one bit” and, honestly, my first thought was, “How nice of him!” Yes. I am Sarah Palin.
OK, I’m dense. How does this help McCain at ALL? Maybe I’m just too dunk on Hope Kool-Aid to see it, but it seems like all this will do to independents is remind them how tired they are of being in unnecessary wars we can’t afford, and it will underline the fact that they don’t want an unqualified, barely functioning retard a 72-year-old heartbeat away from being commander-in-chief of 4 wars. Not to mention this sgit is just…well, evil, and will be viewed as such all over the goddamned globe.
Meh. I’m going to watch “Wag The Dog” again.
You know what really pisses me off? I had Iran in the office poll.
slappypaddy: Tell yourself that if it makes you feel better. European prices have fallen something like 10%, even with the cost per barrel dropping by 2/3s. I guess we’ll see in 9 days, one way or the other.
AngryBlakGuy: Just like Ender’s Game
