Guardian: Reports that there is anger in Pakistan over the Obama option to expand air strikes in Pakistan of terrorists targets. That this option is out there will not help the Obama Administration, but the War in Afghanistan is the War Obama wanted to fight, thus he has to win or he does not get re-election in 2012. As stated in previous post, Obama is in the same shoes as LBJ and Nixon, he cant win in Afghanistan if the Safe heavens in Pakistan are not removed, as long as the terrorists have these bases the West cant win in Afghanistan. Thus what ever the political cost, Obama has to get tough in Pakistan, even at the cost of toppling the Government of Pakistan. Although Pakistan is a nuclear armed power, it is weak on the border between Afghanistan and Pakistan. Thus the USA has to destroy the terrorists, if the Government of Pakistan falls the USA should make sure that it gets control of the nuclear weapons of Pakistan. The War in Afghanistan will define the Obama Administration as Iraq defined the Bush 43.
