According to this story from London Times, the Obama administration has told Pakistan if they don’t push the Taliban back, the United States may have to do it for them. US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has described the situation as “I think we cannot underscore [enough] the seriousness of the existential threat posed to the state of Pakistan by the continuing advances,” said Clinton, adding that the nuclear-armed nation could also pose a “mortal threat” to the United States and other countries.
Usually, the State Department is the part of government that understates danger and suggests that a little diplomacy will solve all problems. Now its head is suggesting the country of Pakistan may fall to the Taliban, and that this could cause nuclear war with the United States (or more likely India).
Wow, I don’t remember that in the Hope for Change campaign last year. Words have consequences.
Meanwhile, the US Media is going to be preoccupied with printing photographs of “US Torture” as the result of the ACLU lawsuit and the Obama administration turning over photos it has.
Hey, how about that NFL draft?
