Now we can see Mr Obama's 'unleaderships'! A third world country who sponsering terrorists carry out daily attack at US/Nato troops in afghanistan now helding the entire contingent of western troops as hostages and the C in C is busy apologising,pampering,appeasing,begging..etc instead of showing real leaderships, no wonder why his excellency won the Nobel prize of 'peace'! He must be a good student of 'carter doctrine'!

So the US thinks it can attack and kill Pakistani soldiers, violate Pakistans sovereignty time and again, kill Pakistani civilians all by accident of course. And time and again ignore Pakistans demands for them to stop doing this, yet when Pakistan actually steps up and does something like stopping the supplies crossing its borders and demanding that the CIA base that operates the UAV's shuts then the US gets upset. I wonder how the US would react to another nation treating it like it does to Pakistan and the US wonders why it struggles to get support and is loathed in this region. Seriously wake up to yourselves.

I'm less concerned about the "fallout" from this attack and more concerned about when we can "get out" all of our troops. Not one of my friends that is a vet supports continuing our wars in the ME, myself included.

Ah, Pakistan... critical ally in the war on terror that the US bombs with impunity. Sounds like the chickens are coming home to roost.

Spidapig24, Pakistan help hide America's #1 enemy for at least 5 years and probably longer. Would not have taken much work by them to track him down. Next Pakistan is the #1 supplier for the Taliban and weapons and weapons material. Gee that is an act of war. Pakistan is a good reason to have a missile defense network. Attacks on supply convoys, do their intelligence services provide their schedules to make attacking them easier? Lastly has Pakistan trained the new Taliban terrorists? Does any of this make them America's "critical" ally?

But it's Obama running the show. He gave a speech in Cairo. He grew up in an interfaith family that inlcuded Moslems.His goat-herding African father was one for pete's sake.He lived in Indonesia,which is the biggest Moslem nation in the world. Is the 2008 magic gone?

Yeah and your point is? How many times did the US let him go before 9/11? Who helped him and his fellow rebels against the Russians in the 80's. That would be the US

Next Pakistan is the #1 supplier for the Taliban and weapons and weapons material. Gee that is an act of war.

And who is Pakistan's #1 supplier of weapons? That would be the US, so the US is indirectly arming its enemies to fight against itself... So is the US fighting itself in your theory?

Pakistan is a good reason to have a missile defense network. Attacks on supply convoys, do their intelligence services provide their schedules to make attacking them easier? Lastly has Pakistan trained the new Taliban terrorists? Does any of this make them America's "critical" ally?

I agree that Pakistan is a rotten egg, but as long as the US supports it then its their own problem. Further more you must remember every time the US kills civilians in Pakistan that is helping the Taliban by outraging the population and making them more open to Taliban advances for revenge. So the US is not only indirectly arming the Taliban but also giving them the propaganda to recruit new members.

Spidapig24, my point is Pakistan is America's enemy and needs to be treated as such. Sanctions need to be brought against them like Iran. America needs to bring the Taliban and Afghanistan government tougher in direct peace talks. There is not a military solution possible.
