Neocon Bill Kristol expects Bush to attack Pakistan
A Fox host then cited a new report that "al Qaeda ... is running from Iraq, apparently to Pakistan" and asked "did this report come out on purpose so that we will have the right ... to go after Pakistan now?"

Kristol responded, "I think the president's going to have to take military action there over the next few weeks or months. ... Bush has to disrupt that sanctuary."

"I think, frankly, we won't even tell Musharraf," Kirstol continued. "We'll do what we have to do in Western Pakistan and Musharraf can say, 'Hey, they didn't tell me.'"

The following video is from Fox's Fox & Friends, broadcast on July 12. (CLICK SOURCE LINK)

4. If we attack Pakistan...
Musharraf is toast. And when the dust settles, we'll have a terrorist regime with nuclear weapons on our hands.

5. running from Iraq to Pakistan?
What the hell are they smoking? I can't decide whether these comments stem from some attempt to propagandize their viewers...or just sheer stupidity.

Yeah, al Qaeda did run to Pakistan....from Afghanistan!

You know...that country that we used to pay attention to, the one we invaded because that guy who actually attacked us was there...that evil doer with the name kind of like Obama's....hmmm...if only I can remember...

you know...that guy who we let escape to Pakistan...

memory isn't what it used to be...

:eyes:

13. We keep fucking this up. Now we have this AQ problem in Pakistan--
and Musharraf is kind of a singular Endangered Species as far as coup-able politicians go. I am terrified that AQ will get their hands on nukes. That's not a GOP line of bullshit, that's a scary possibility. We might have to take some sort of action if Musharraf can't/won't secure his own country. I hate the thought of it, but it would be an extension of our battles in Afghanistan, so at least not a totally new war. This is why it's more urgent than ever to stop the Iraq military/money drain, and get our manning/mission there as pared-down as possible.

19. Bill Kristol is certifiably batshit crazy...
I don't get how he can spew this stuff that is demonstrably untrue. He has no credibility on anything. I was so disappointed when Time Magazine gave him a regular column. I've subscribed to Time for over 35 years and I'm not renewing this year, first time ever.

24. Much Bigger Picture Behind This
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=125x163638

Lieberman: US will back Israeli strike on Iran

Israeli Minister of Strategic Affairs Avigdor Lieberman said on Tuesday that he received the tacit blessing of Europe and the United States for an Israeli military strike on Iran's nuclear facilities.

“If we start military operations against Iran alone, then Europe and the US will support us,” Lieberman told Army Radio following a meeting earlier in the week with NATO and European Union officials.

MY VIEW ON THIS:

What i meant is, " Is this guy related to our Joe?"

I mean, they both want to bomb Iran

I think that this is the plan;

Israel thinks they have the US OK and bombs Iran
Iran retaliates
the US jumps in, conventionally at first, to defend Israel
Iran continues to retaliate and begins sending waves of missiles and troops
across the border into Iraq

Bush declares that he has no choice to protect our troops in Iraq
But to use NUCLEAR WEAPONS against IRAN

The neocon's wet dream


Then Pakistan, China and Russia do WHAT?

Wild card time. folks

It's been planned this way for years
