U.S. Force Possible in Pakistan


This from Time Magazine http://www.time.com/time/nation/article/0,8599,1645830,00.html I guess the Chimperator will not be content until the USA is at war in every country across the Middle East. Here are a few highlights:
(AP / Washington) — The U.S. would consider military force if necessary to stem al-Qaeda's growing ability to use its hideout in Pakistan to launch terrorist attacks, a White House aide said Sunday.

The president's homeland security adviser, Fran Townsend, said the U.S. was committed first and foremost to working with Pakistan's president, Pervez Musharraf, in his efforts to control militants in the Pakistan-Afghanistan border region. But she indicated the U.S. was ready to take additional measures.

"Just because we don't speak about things publicly doesn't mean we're not doing things you talk about," Townsend said, when asked in a broadcast interview why the U.S. does not conduct special operations and other measures to cripple al-Qaeda. "Job No. 1 is to protect the American people. There are no options off the table," she said.
Where the Chimperator thinks he will get the troops to do all of this is left unanswered. Are we looking at a return of the draft? While I have a son who is draft age (and believe me, I would do whatever it took to smuggle him across the border to Canada), a return of the draft would have some irony to it: all the mindless soccer moms who stupidly voted for Chimperator Bush (they were too worried about PTA meetings, etc., to pay attention to things that REALLY mattered) would have themselves to thank when their children were drafted to be Bush's canon fodder.
