Will the Pakistani incident trigger SHTF?

[Grumpy Old Man]

I've been watching with deep anxiety the news regarding the NATO airstrike on the Pakistani checkpoint last week. What is even more disturbing is the demand for the US to exit Shamsi Airbase within 15 days. Sometime ago I recall that China indicated that an attack on Pakistan would be considered and act of war with China and Afghanistan has said that they will side with Pakistan against the US. The latest from Fox News indicates that the checkpoint fired on NATO forces first.

What is most distressing is that our troops method of resupply is being removed and essentially they will be stranded in Afghanistan. Added to this Pakistan is going to sign an agreement with Iran to construct an oil pipeline between their two countries. I feel deep in my bones that this won't end well.

Pakistan has been playing both side against each other for some time now. This would not be the first time that they have instigated an issue.

I agree, the only thing the Pak's want from us is our money. Otherwise there not much different than Iran. Just a lot more populous. Plus they have known Nuc's. Between them, China, and Iran nothing good will come from this.

blah! it isn`t 2012 yet... so all is good!

We are in a no win situation. We know they hate us and I almost want to believe that they actually did something to instigate the strike so that the gov't could have a reason to kow tow to the taliban, yet we cannot cut off the money to them because if we do the country will certainly be overrun by the taliban and the muslim brotherhood and any other extreme islaam muslim group who would love to get their hands on those nukes and use them against us and isreal.
What is going on in all of these muslim countries should be scaring the shit out of every American. The middle east is like a boil getting ready to burst and we are right in the center of it all.

I totally agree. It would shock me to learn that they did not start the incident that saw us respond with a helo attack. It seems we have to have several layers of approval to take a crap let alone fire someone up.

About the only folks there who want anything to do with us is a very small group of their leaders, so they can get our money a live like kings. The rest of the country want to see us crash and burn.

Add to that the episode in Iran at the British embassy today, which sure looks like it was guided by the gov. The area is a tinderbox just waiting on a spark.

We all know that something is going to ignite the tinder box and lead us into the abyss. We just don't which crisis yet.
This might be the beginning and yet it may be something else. The best we can do is keep on keeping on and keeping a close watch on events.

Hopefully with all our eyes and ears focused we'll have some kind of advanced warning no matter how large or small the window.
Our govt. is like the saying ; Stupid is as Stupid does. Where they say ; There's light at the end of the tunnel ; We say yes but it could also be a train coming at us.

I agree BP...there are too many layers...our guys have to say Mommy May I? even to take their safety off of their guns let alone perform such an airstrike. I would not be surprised if the wrong coordinates were given on purpose, an "incident" created all so their gov't could cave to the taliban and still get our money. It's a win win.
