Eye on Pakistan: New Offensive in the War on Terror?

7/22/07 -- CNN/CNN Newsroom: Rick Sanchez reports on talk of American involvement in Pakistan to attempt to rout a strengthening al Qa'ida. The recent U.S. National Intelligence Estimate which finds Pakistan to be a new safe haven for al Qa'ida threatens to pit two post-9/11 allies against each other as heated exchanges continue on both sides of the argument.

Summary of Video:

Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, General Peter Pace, when asked about the possibility of more military involvement by the U.S. in Pakistan states, "if he [President Musharraf[ needed support -- or some kind of other air support -- if he were to ask -- we would sit down with him and ask how it was going to be used." Discussion turns from General Peter Pace to Waziristan and the fact that the U.S. has neither gone into the region nor has it believed to have fired into the region. At the same time, it happens to be very close to places like Bagram Air Base (Afghanistan) where the U.S. could stage artillery, drones and boots. White House spokespersons indicate U.S. military action in Pakistan is on the table with notables such as Fran Townsend saying "no question -- we will use any instrument at our disposal -- to deal with the problem... of al Qa'ida." Finally, Peter Bergen describes how al Qa'ida is back and highlights U.S. mistakes as well as al Qa'ida advances that have been made during the last several years.

Ypu are a real brain washed idiot. USA is not sponsoring the Taliban. You sound like one of those lieing taliban losers. USA did not have to show the world that Pakistan is to week to have Nukes. Pakistan proved that by letting Taliban take over large regions of the Country. The pakistan Government has failed to protect its people. If not for USA your country would be in complete. ruins. Look at the Tribal regions. The Taliban is forcing its ways on these simple people. GO TO HELL YOU TERRORIST

pbgw123-Taliban would take over Pakistan? LOL!

It's U.S who is sponsoring these fake Taliban you dumb fuck!!!

CIA is behind all terrorist attacks in Pakistan! Tehreek-E-Taliban (Fake Taliban) was created by CIA & Indians to destabalise Pakistan,so that U.S could prove to the world that Pakistan's Nukes are unsafe & fall in the hands of terrorists!

It's about time you get out of your media lies kid!

Real Taliban love Pakistan & they are freedom fighters!

Americans are the real Terrorists!!
