America’s suicidal war with Pakistan http://rehmat1.wordpress.com/2011/05/26/america’s-suicidal-war-with-pakistan/

Pakistan is not an easy military target as was Iraq, Afghanistan or Libya. It’s the only Muslim country with nuclear deterrant (70-90 nuclear bombs) and home to the third largest Armed Force in the region after its neighboring China and India. In addition, Pakistan provides the major lifeline to US-NATO occupation force of 150,000 soldiers plus over 100,000 private contractors in Afghanistan.

More than 75% of military and civilian supplies to over 400 foreign bases in occupied Afghanistan pass through Pakistan via land or airspace.The Israel-Firsters lawmakers at the Capitol Hill like to forget that Pakistan doesn’t live on US handouts alone as Israel does. Pakistan has an active partnership with another major power, potentially a viable substitute for the US should relations with the Obama administration continue to deteriorate. 

The US-Pakistan relationship has swung from close alliance in the Afghan-USSR years of the 1980s to unmistaken alienation in the early 1990s, when Pakistan was on AIPAC’s watch list as a state supporting international terrorism. Relations between Pakistan and China, on the other hand, have been consistently cordial for almost three decades. Pakistan’s Chinese alliance, noted fitfully by the US is one of its most potent weapons in any future showdown with the Obama administration.
