It's times like this that I really sometimes wish America would just leave the rest of the world to its own devices to devolve into the cesspool of barbarism that it mostly is. Outside of Britain, Australia, Taiwan, and a few other places, not only is America and the good we do not appreciated, people actively work to undermine it...either that, or they act with such cowardice that it has the same net effect. So it is now the latter case with Pakistan and President Musharraf, who are doing their best Neville Chamberlain-esque appeasement imitation in the hopes that the Al-Qaeda crocodiles will eat them last. Via Bill Roggio, retired military man, blogger, and terrorism expert, we learn that the government of Pakistan has ceded part of Waziristan (an area about the size of New Jersey) to the Taliban, surrendered weapons and other contraband seized during fighting between Pakistan and the Taliban, and has released over a hundred mid-level AQ fighters and commanders to end the fighting. All the work put in by the U.S. military in eviciting the Taliban from power in Afghanistan might now be wiped out, because all AQ has to do is cross the "border" and they are home free.
Maybe they will be lucky and the appeasing Pakistanis will get to be eaten last, but if recent events are any indicator, radical Islamofascists seem inclined to blow up the apostates and unbelievers in their own midst, their own "people", until they can eradicate Israel and destroy America, taking us all back to the 7th century. Read the whole thing, but you know it's bad when the ceded area is now called the Islamic Emirate of Waziristan.
Also, here's Heidi from Euphoric Reality with a devastating takedown of Pakistan, completely debunking the myth that they are our ally. They may have passed along some intelligence and rounded up a few nobodies in the terror world to keep up the front and foreign American taxpayer funded aid flowing in, but it does get tiresome living such a large lie for so long. Since Islamonazis are usually in it for the long haul, I am only surprised that Pakistan and its feckless leader let their masks slip so soon. These morons have not only created a new terror state in their own country, they have said they would not arrest Osama bin Laden if he came there! They are not our friends and do not deserve a dime of our aid or another second of our time.
