Enemy Within = Pakistan

The Times: Reports that the UK Foreign Secretary David Miliband has stressed the need for the political elites in Pakistan to come together to fight the common threat of terrorists. The more the political elites in Pakistan fight each other, the more the terrorists will be able to use this mess to take over Pakistan. If the terrorists take over Pakistan, the the Western War in Afghanistan gets worse, now we face the safe heavens that terrorists have in the badlands of the border between Afghanistan and Pakistan, what happens if the terrorists take over Pakistan with their nuclear weapons. A nuclear armed Pakistan in the hands of the terrorists could make the Vietnam War look like a bright idea. The Obama Administration has to move in to these badlands, clean them out, rebuild the structure of Pakistan, then and only then does the West have a chance in Afghanistan.

SAS on Afghanistan = Vietnam

BBC News: Reports on an Ex SAS Commander who resigned due to the bad equipment that our Armed Forces had to use in Afghanistan, the SAS Commander, Major Sebastian Morley equates our UK Military Operation to the Vietnam War. Our brave soldiers are a fighting a war with one hand tied behind their back, the lack of troops, the lack of equipment and rules of war that benefit the enemy. As to the last point, the enemy can fire or shoot missiles then hide back in the general population, even if our troops are 100% sure that they are the enemy, we need to catch them with the weapon in their hands and over a dead body, other wise the rules of UK action prevents us taking them out or taking them POW. The War in Afghanistan is not Vietnam, its worse, we have fought there before, we know the terrain and the people, in less we are going to fight to win we should get out fast, because we are going to lose more troops in the future.
