NATO raid kills eight Pakistani soldiers

[HOLLYWOOD]

SO where's the international Criminal Carnival Court? What a frigin joke the foreign BS policies, Depart of Defense, and the US Crazy State Department

So this:

NATO air attack on Pakistani troops was self-defence, says senior western official

Then This:

According to Pakistani officials the 40 or so soldiers stationed at the outposts were asleep at the time of the attack

D. Military coup

Very possibly.

I would kind of lump that in as an extension of what happens under (B).

Do you ever wonder if they (this administration) are just really trying to piss them (other foreign countries) off and create a more troubled world wide climate for the US?
You gotta wonder, after having intentionally bankrupted the nation..... why other way could put the US in an extremely precarious position?

We could bomb the Chinese Embassy:

Tolerate it?

The vast majority of your fellow citizens support it.

The way I see it, there really are only three choices, none of them real good, and that includes doing what needs to be done to put the kibosh on the ever increasing police state as well:

A - Continue on with political action and education, including RP 2012. This may very well prove to be too little, too late, for every yard we push the system back, it dodges and weaves and laterals to take three more forward.

B - Hunker down and ride the whirlwind, surviving and evading as best as you can. This is not suitable for long term survival though, because very shortly the system will have a surveillance grid in place that is tight enough to track every single person, every minute of every day.

C - Drag the masses of asses along, kicking and screaming, whether they like it or not, into liberty, through revolution. This is was what happened in 1776. Very doubtful that it could be done again.

AF, it could very well be that all three will be our fate. Good Points.

NATO is currently commanding operations in Afghanistan.

Thanks Kiwi. I guess my question was more frustrated rhetorical, but it still stands

Enraged Pakistanis burn Obama effigy, slam US

Hundreds of enraged Pakistanis took to the streets across the country Sunday, burning an effigy of President Barack Obama and setting fire to US flags after 24 soldiers died in NATO air strikes.

The rallies were organised by opposition and right-wing Islamist groups in major cities of the nuclear-armed country of 167 million people, where opposition to the government's US alliance is rampant.

In Karachi, the port city used by the United States to ship supplies to troops fighting in Afghanistan, more than 700 people gathered outside the US consulate, an AFP photographer said.

They shouted: "down with America, stay away Americans, Pakistan is ours, we stand shoulder-to-shoulder with our army", while Pakistani riot police were deployed near the consulate.

Outside the press club in Karachi, dozens of political activists burnt an effigy of President Obama, an AFP photographer added.

In the central city of Multan, more than 300 activists loyal to the former prime minister Nawaz Sharif, as well as local traders took to the streets, burning US and NATO flags.

They carried placards and banners, and shouted: "down with America," "down with NATO," "Yankees go back", "vacate Afghanistan and Pakistan" and "stop drone attacks" -- a reference to a CIA drone war against Islamist militants.

Speaking at the rally, opposition lawmaker Javed Hashmi demanded that the government end its alliance in the US-led "war on terror".

In Islamabad, at least 200 activists of the radical Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) party held a rally in the middle-class I-10 neighbourhood.

"We strongly condemn the attack and the killing of our soldiers," local JI chief Mian Aslam told the rally in reference to the air strike early Saturday, as protestors chanted "Pakistan is America's graveyard."

Pakistan has reacted with fury over the killings, and has called the attack by NATO helicopters and fighter jets on two military posts close to the Afghan border "unprovoked".

In response, Islamabad has sealed its Afghan border to NATO supply convoys and is reviewing its alliance with the United States and NATO, mulling whether to boycott a key international conference on Afghanistan next month.
