Taleban 65 miles from Pakistan’s capital

[lilelvis2000]

In the boozer last night, I got chatting with a foreign affairs journo from the torygraph. He says the poo is in danger of really hitting the fan in pakistan right now.

Will the Indians sort this mess out for us? Much cheapness, plenty quickness.

Those Taleban are proper nutters.

The Taleban seized towns less than 65 miles from Pakistan’s capital yesterday, renewing fears that Islamabad’s recent peace deal with the radicals would only accelerate their advance across the country.

.......

When Pakistan signed that "deal" with the Taleban I got talking with my barber..and Pakistanit man from that area..and we both agreed that it gave them the licence to expand.

Smooth move Zardari...the man who allegedly had his wife killed and killed his brother-in-law and the man who has no vision at all. His nickname is "mr. 10%". The elite and wealthy will all leave for Dubai and leave the country to fail...so what do they care?

Why doesn't the worrld just let the Taleban / Al-Quaeda or whoever just have it out with Israel once and for all and the winner gets Palestine / Israel whatever you want to call it?

I hope we don't get involved because I foresee major backlash from the large population living over here.

Personally i say let them get on with it the more these Countries become a war zone the better for us as companies are starting to bring back work because its not very appealing having to keep rebuilding your offices or very cheap when you send Westerners over but they have to have an armed guard! Their wars could actually help solve are unemployment and rates problems! (yes I know that is terrible but I'm sick of work getting offshored to cheap unstable countries)

I've been to Pakistan once, but only on a climbing gig and apart from the bonkerness of Islamabad didn't see too much of it but there were mosques *everywhere*.

FFS, it was like E London, just hotter and smellier.
