ISLAMABAD, Pakistan — An ambush of a military convoy that killed 17 troops near the Afghan border Wednesday pushed the death toll in a series of attacks to at least 101 Pakistanis in the past five days — and brought President Pervez Musharraf, according to a local newspaper headline, to a "Moment of Truth."
The Bush administration, after publicly demanding that Musharraf rein in militants linked to al Qaida, on Wednesday threatened to launch attacks into Pakistani territory if it sees fit.
"We certainly do not rule out options, and we retain the option especially of striking actionable targets," said White House spokesman Tony Snow. "But it is clearly of the utmost importance to go in there and deal with the problem in the tribal areas."
All the zionist United Snakes of America can do is threaten and bark like a dog, it what cowards are good at.
"By time, Indeed, mankind is in loss, Except for those who have believed and done righteous deeds and advised each other to truth and advised each other to patience."Quran 103
Hmm...warning signals for the Pakistanis.
I wonder how they will react to this.Bush should instead force Musharraf to do the job instead of sending US forces in there.

Musharraf is in a mell of a hess. The US surly do something if cross border rades are not stoped. Any more cooperation with the US will increase the dissatisfaction of the people.
I think the phrase is "Damed if you do, Damed if you don't".
Has the US ever actually minded their own business? Even in Iraq they made all the excuses in the world to 'help' the Iraqis by going into their land against their will and....
Well the US sees it like this: Pakistan...Muslims...al Qa3da...let's do it!
It's not a surpirse. Pakistan was well known to be one of the future targets of the US. Watch them turn it into another Afghanistan or even Iraq! May Allah protect the Muslims...
^ To those who have read about the signs of the Day of Judgement, and whose eyes are open and aware...
do you know that since Jesus Christ (pbuh) was crucified, people have been making this statement? It may seem as though the signs are everywhere, but in my personal opinion, I think we have a very very long time until judgement day

A suicide bomb detonated Thursday inside a mosque in violence-wracked northwestern Pakistan, killing at least 12 people, including children and soldiers, and wounding 25, military officials said.
Maybe the US won't have to do anything. Maybe the radicals will just kill each other off.
That's your personal opinion..the Day of Judegement will come and those that don't have the knowledge won't know... have you heard of retrograde motion?
Back on topic:
threatened to launch attacks into Pakistani territory if it sees fit.
Or rather when they've found an excuse

It isn't a matter of them having to do anything, it's wanting to do it

"US Threatens Intervention in Pakistan" all thanx to the likes of you!
do your kind -- who are ever so keen to make Pakistanis shaheed -- ever stop to think, in between your incitements, that we should be allowed to decide for ourselves?

I suppose that will suite you just fine, since it seems to be your ultimate aim in life (to be rid of Islam).
this post betrays the fact that you don't see the difference between the terrorists and the victims i.e children and soldiers
Mushareff has just as much at stake at limiting the influence of radical groups in Pakistan. It would be in his best interest to work with the U.S. in weakening these pockets, especially in the tribal regions. You can bet that if useful intelligence is found about the location of OBL or any of Al-Qaeda's top figureheads, there will be a strike.

If that were so they would be invading Morocco as well for example. Which they don't. So if we assume you are right that means:
1. people in Morocco are either not Muslim
2. or the US doesn't know people in Morocco are Muslim
Neither seems very likely IMHO kay:. I mean, we all know the stereotypes that Americans know little of the world, but not that little .

Pakistan is a horribly unstable country, with or without the US pressuring them. It is politically unstable, but more worryingly it is socially unstable with frequent bombings and civil unrest. US threats will certainly not help stabilize it! Neither are the many private militias helping of course. The fact that the government of Pakistan does not actually control its own territory is a deeply troubling fact.
I actually agree with you, I think Pakistan is one of the most volatile Muslim countries out there and IMHO most likely to get in conflict with the US. And it is nuclear armed as well.

It is my opinion that judgement day is a long way away, but it is fact that people have been thinking the apocalypse is coming "any day" since Jesus (pbuh) was crucified. It is also my opinion that negative people, who over analyze and look for the worst in everything seem to share this belief.
With that said, I dont think the US is looking for an excuse to do anything, and I dont think the US "wants" to launch any attacks on Pakistan, but as Keltoi stated, if they find prime targets in tribal areas of Pakistan, you can bet your bottom dollar their will be attacks or missions to take these targets out, and it wouldnt matter if they were in Pakistan, Russia or Fiji, the pursuit for them will go wherever they go.
Also I would think the Pakistanis would be happy about this, I wouldnt want OBL or any of his kind wandering around in my neck of the woods.

God forbid!
that would be a terrorist dream come true as well as give Hindus of Indira gandi type a boost they'll celebrate the day that happens (she died with this wish unfulfilled)
