More Rumors

Today the President of Afghanistan has said that he will send troops into Pakistan, if necessary, to pursue Islamic militants. You can read about it here; http://edition.cnn.com/2008/WORLD/asiapcf/06/16/afghanistan.karzai/?iref=hpmostpop

As we all know, Afghanistan is where we have been fighting a war against the Taliban for the past five years....trying to bring democracy and hope to a country that has had war for an entire generation. Pakistan is reeling in political uncertainty since last December when Bhutto was assassinated before the election, and Musharrif has a very fragile hold on power. It has been said that if Pakistan DID hold popular elections that Al Qaeda would win a majority of the votes. This would be VERY problematic since Pakistan already has 35-50 nuclear warheads in it's possession and a very successful missile program with which to launch them.
