Look! Grumpy, one of the Seven Dwarfs, is ALIVE…
…and well, in Pakistan. Well, no. Actually, this bearded little cretin is the leader of a militant network of tribal Pakistani Islamists but he could be cast in “Grumpy and Chucky Team Up”.
“The C.I.A. has just confronted Pakistan’s most senior officials with new information about ties between their country’s powerful spy service and militants operating in Pakistan’s tribal areas.”
“The C.I.A. assessment specifically points to links between members of the spy service, the Directorate for Inter-Services Intelligence, or ISI, and the militant network led by Maulavi Jalaluddin Haqqani, (the red-bearded, hunkered-down dwarf pictured above) which American officials believe maintains close ties to senior figures of Al Qaeda in Pakistan’s tribal areas.”
The C.I.A. has depended heavily on the ISI, the Pakistani spy service, for information about militants in Pakistan, while the ISI has been misleading us and supporting al Qaeda and the Taliban ever since the 9/11 attack. Incredibly, the C.I.A. and the Bush administration have generally sought to avoid criticism of Pakistan, which they regard as a crucial ally in the fight against terrorism, when it is and has been perfectly clear all along that Pakistan, an Islamic and militant little country with nukes, is our enemy and will stay our enemy.
I think the reason for the “crucial ally” story is exactly because Pakistan has those nukes. They’ve repeatedly refused to reveal the whereabouts of their stockpile of A-Bombs to us. What does that tell you? It tells me that they may just plan on using them against us some day and don’t want us to eradicate them. Our policy has been to claim Pakistan as an ally, publicly, while maintaining a semi-hostile posture toward its leaders diplomatically, in an effort to keep them de-fused.
Remember that it was Pakistans top governmental nuclear chief who sold A-Bomb blueprints and materials to other insane Islamist nations, including Iran, while their Pres. Musharraf looked blithely on. As soon as the C.I.A. finds someone to bribe who will reveal where the nukes are hidden, Pakistans fangs will be pulled. Clearly we don’t know yet or we wouldn’t still be playing pattycake with them.
Pakistan is like Iran, a little dwarf of a country run by a pack of self-serving homicidal liars. We need to locate those nukes before they use them or al Qaeda and the Taliban get to them, and take them out of the equation.
I hate pakis, I always have growing up in an area with plenty of corner shops full of them, and dont get me wrong i no the different between pakis and indians so im not completely ignorant.
When we will we learn that we can not trust a country that is Islamic, westerners can not put any kind of faith in these hate mongers because they are told to hate us and eventually they will fire those nukes.
I read today that Islamic terrorists are now heading into Africa as we continue to beat them out of Iraq and Afganistan thats worrying as they will increase there force with even more insane islamic savages.
And now we hear that over a third of Muslims in the UK wil kill for Islam, this being the religion of peace.
re Monkey’s Africa comment:

The spread of jihadist groups, that keep resurging every time they’re conquered, itself presents a good case for the use of nuclear weapons. How else can areas of extremely difficult terrain be sanitized unless they’re wiped clean of life? Armies can battle for 40 years and not make a dent, as new jihadist keep replacing the old ones and the dead. Not that I want to see this happen, just that this kind of Islamist proliferation gives the generals a pretty good reason to resort to nukes.
Another is what Monkey says about the Islamists using nukes themselves. When you have 1000s of square miles of African desert to hide them in, the only way to make sure they stay lost is to kill off those who know their whereabouts, and do it fast. With a few nukes.
Xoggoth that was the exact article, its a shocker really made me think how dangerous this is becoming.
I fear that to surely end this fight there will be war on our own soil, there needs to be rid from our country and contain them because as it stands they are everywhere and we really are not safe.
Unfortunately, significant use of nukes will kill hundreds of thousands in nearby areas and probably millions worldwide.
PS Not to mention lots of nice little animals, far more important.
At risk of being what passes as a liberal here again I think it a mistake to regard any group, even Muslims, as being somehow immune to all logic or reason, it only seems like that at the moment. Four hundred years ago in parts of Europe we would have been saying these things of Christians, 50 years ago about communists. While fundamentalism is spreading there are also many in Muslim countries including Iran who loath it and a more sensible foreign policy, not engineering coups to instal West leaning dictators or invading Muslim countries on phony premises for example, might help to bring them on board.
We are insane to allow Muslims into our society, even the moderate ones have a different view of where we should be heading and they affect us all, even peacefully through the ballot box. But maybe we should not be interfering in their cultures so much either.
PS Although it is true that when we do NOT interfere in their cultures we get blamed too. How many times have we been criticised for doing nothing about despotic Arab regimes?
ooo xoggoth i get what your saying but even in history the islamic faith has be more than ruthless in its desire to conquer any land it falls on. Yes christians did the same but did not punish those who didnt believe to the extent that muslims have.
