Pakistan
has informed us
that if we send troops over the border without prior authorization, their army has orders to shoot to kill.
We have told Pakistan that if Al Quaeda runs back over the border from Afganistan to Pakistan, we reserve the right to chase them.
This weekend, Pakistani soldiers reported that they fired on 2 US helicopters coming over the borders. The helicopters turned back and no one was injured.
If a Pakistani soldier kills an American soldier, our troops may shoot back. If a Pakistani soldier is killed on Pakistan soil, in the eyes of their government we will have effectively declared war on Pakistan.
[EDIT] What are your thoughts?

This is the problem as many of us saw it back in 2003 when we invaded Iraq. The next war we are involved in won't be one we get to choose. What happens if...North Korea launches a nuke at Seoul...or if China invades Taiwan....or......a nuclear nation like Pakistan starts getting antsy about us being on their border and starts shooting down our helicopters? The possibilites were, and are, endless. What if we put too many of our resources in a battle we don't need to fight and one we don't expect pops up?
Our troops are stretched too thin because of a war in Iraq we didn't need to start, which hasn't helped our nation's security, and now we are paying prices we couldn't have anticipated. |
