Our presence in Pakistan after OBL was killed is in question at this point. Why risk riling our financer in order to continue some pointless conflict there? If they want to fight India, let them. Why is it any of our business? It isn't. It's just that some british friends of ours are heavily invested in India and any conflict there would upset their bank accounts.

Boo hoo.

Time to leave Pakistan and let the Brits worry about it. They should've know entering the "I'll pat your back if you pat ours" deal they made with Cheney/Bush about Iraq was illegal.

We are spending way too much money in Pakistan now for zero reasons.

And as for China, I hear the West Coast is getting a lot of strange jet patrols on behalf of the US military. Seems they're worried about something over there? China and their pals Russia and their oil suppliers are just waiting for an excuse to ? the US. Best bet is to not give them one....stop bleeding ourselves to death in phantom skirmishes designed to do just that, come home, bolster the West and hunker down. We are like a big bully with a bad back. And our enemies know just where to kick us to bring us down and finish us off.
