Pakistan, Afghanistan, and U.S. Looking To Solve Big Problems

Pakistan, Afghanistan, the Taliban, and the United States (not to mention Iraq and Iran) are headed for a collision course. President Barack ObamaBarack Obama sat down with both, Hamid KarzaiHamid Karzai and Asif Ali ZardariAsif Ali Zardari a crucial message, "We meet today, as three sovereign nations joined by a common goal, to disrupt, dismantle, and defeat Al-Queada and their extremist allies, in Pakistan and Afghanistan, and to prevent their ability to operate now and in the future." The Taliban is just an hour away from the capitol of Pakistan, and continues to move, from the north. There seemed to be a common goal, with all three leaders, in wanting to not only keep the Taliban out of the Pakistani mainland, but also to prevent nuclear weapons to fall into enemy hands. President Zardari continued, "I am here to assure you, we are here to assure you, we will share this burden with you. No matter how long it takes, and what it takes, democracy will deliver, and my democracy will deliver." However, there are thousands of Pakistani citizens fleeing the Capitol and Buner Province, amidst the chaos and violence.

The Taliban is out in force and does not discriminate between civilian and soldier. They are brazen enough to speak to cameras and even their top man (in Pakistan), Muslim Khan, spoke to Sky News. He went on the record stating the obvious, of why the three countries are going to have more than their hands full in dealing and ridding the two countries of the Taliban, saying, "The security forces, the American forces, the N. A. T. O. forces have EVERYTHING, everything, but how they cannot defeat the Taliban.? Because our demand, with the thing we fight for, the Koran, is more stronger than weapons and wills." A set of strong words, coming from a strong leader who believes every word. The Taliban and other Islamic Extremists are more than just stomping on an American flag, burning a leader in effigy, they are living their perversion of religion (Islam) to the core of their souls.

The Taliban has no need for reasoning, changing to a different set of standards. In America passing the blame has not worked in eight years, so America is set to depend on Pakistani leaders, the Pakistani military and U. S. drone strikes (which Karzai did not rule out, or quibble with President Obama), to defeat an enemy living for one thing. Unlike Americans, who go to work, worry about the economy, "keeping up with the Jones'", the Taliban and Islamic Extremists of all stripes are just living for spreading Sharia law, or killing anyone (women, children, anyone who doesn't believe their view of Islam and Christians) who does not agree with Sharia law and their brand of extremism, period. They are living what they believe. Barack Obama, Karzai, and Zardari (not to mention all of the Middle East) must protect the nuclear weapons (in Pakistan) first and foremost. Then they must form a cordon to protect Islamabad and weed out any traitors in the Pakistani army (sympathizers to the Taliban and extremists in the army, itself). Finally, the leaders of these three countries have to find other Islamic countries (Jordan, Turkey, Iran, Iraq, and others), to have moderate leaders come forward and speak out against all of the terror.

Only the Muslim world can make the huge dent in this problem, and they have been M. I. A. for eight years, as well. There have been, virtually, no moderate Muslim people to combine in force, in solace, or in any way at all, to protect themselves and the other Muslims of the world. Which means Joe BidenJoe Biden was correct, when he said, "Barack Obama will be tested within the first six months of his administration." The Taliban, Al-Queada, and other Islamic terrorists are not going to be defeated with nice words, huge bombs, and a magical wordsmith's transformation. GITMO has shown the unshakable, unbreakable will of these terrorists. At GITMO, where terrorists have been for one to six years, are still unrepentant (as a rule) and their countries of origin will not take them back, to stand trial and become imprisoned. Showing how formidable of an enemy they are and what they will endure, in order to spread their brand of Islam. The Muslim men and women (in some places) are infected, with a high powered virus, and the virus is extreme Islam and death to everyone else.

Changing vernacular, relying on "allies" (whether it is N. A. T. O., Pakistan, Europe, or any others), the United States using "kid gloves" on these barbaric practices, and the two countries (Afghanistan and Pakistan) are not going to cure the virus. To date, there is no cure for the virus, other than death. Death by suicide attacks, death by fighting in guerilla war style battlefields, and/or death by the death penalty when they are captured. The Obama administration has the first real test, now. Dumping money into Pakistan, nice words, and what has been done to date is not going to allow him to pass this test. A new strategy, against the Taliban/Extremist Virus, must be formulated in a hard line way, not with pity-pat tactics. The United States and all three Presidents will find this out, if not thru winning (by changing tactics), then by extreme Islamic terrorists coming across the Mexican border (in six to eighteen months) with a nuclear suitcase bomb, to be detonated at a place to be named later. copyright.
