    Go ahead if you have green signal from US though India was stopped from doing so.

    Ummm, o.k., sure, almost 7 years after 9/11, the Afghan prez is still talking tough towards the Tali huh?

    Time to put an end to Pakistan playing both sides of the fence.

    President Karzai and President Obama are going to get along splendidly.

    Sarge: Not really. Remember, apostates are hanged in Afghanistan. In the event, Karzai is only spouting hot air. There is no way he can or even wants to take out the little Caliphate in Northern Pakistan. Islam is on the march, get used to it.

    does he have the capability to do this?

    Besides, why the hell do you tell people you are coming after them? If you are going to do it then do. Worry about the consequences later.

    I agree with WilliB about Karzai simply tongue-flapping. He does NOT have the capabiility to do what he claims, for he survives on funds handed out by the Americans & some NATO countries ALONG with NATO troops.

    Obviously he has opposition Afghanistan people that think differently, he cannot even defend Kabul & needs the protection of UN Forces.

    Afghanistan also has War Lords to other Tribes that will not donate him & his party any money for the money must come from NATO countries.

    Little chance of him charging into Pakistan for that would be equal to a war with the Pakistan County even to the other UN Countries.

    Only country that could hit another contry is the USA along with the okay from NATO, then onto hitting Iraq, on their own, & look at the mess the USA are into now, PLUS that NATO & USA have to go back to clean up things in Afghanistan as the USA promised.

    Canada claims there should be another 4,000 troops from other NATO counties to help in Afghanistan & so far France has only offered a few hundred while two choppers are offered by Poland--still in both cases nothing farther then promises.

    Unless I am mistaken, Afghanistan is still having trouble getting rid of the Taliban in Afghanistan. I think talk of Afghanistan entering and attacking the Taliban in Pakistan are over-optimistic to say the least.

    Kinniku,

    nobody is ever going to get rid of the Taliban, as long as islam is part of the constitution in both Afghanistan and Pakistan. The Talibs are simply the true believers.

    Everybody is still fighting the wrong war. It is ridiculous.

    There is nothing like pakistan Taliban or Afghanistan Taliban. Both are trained and nurtured by ISI and pakistan army. This socalled difference and the wording ' SOME WHERRE IN PAKISTAN AFGHAN BORDER" to talk about location of Osama is the game created by american media for the sake of American Public who have to vote in 2009 election.Also aniother spin is churned out that this tribal area had no governance from the days of British. It is wrong. They had political commissars(ISI) from the days of British to govern these areas. The tribal jirga cannot function without help from pakistan government. The recent socalled peace agreement with "Pakistan taliban " is the License to kill Afghans while having TRAINIGN AND REST AND RECREATION IN PAKISTAN. But unfortunately Afghan president doesnot have the army or firepower.He may be talking the language authorised by USA. But Musharaff has always fooled the americans especially in election year they donot want REAL BATTLE with a nuclear power.

    Ri-i-ight, Karzai is going to attack bad men in Pakistan.

    Karzai has been enboldened by george bush that he's some special leader and after hearing Obama's threats and John McCain's rheteric about Iraq, he's running his mouth to hear bit flap. < :-)
