Oh good. There hasn't been a good knock out drag out fight between two nuclear powers since...since, well, never...
President Obama insisted that the assault force hunting down Osama bin Laden last week be large enough to fight its way out of Pakistan if confronted by hostile local police officers and troops, senior administration and military officials said Monday.
Newspeak of the Day:
Mr. Obama’s decision to increase the size of the force sent into Pakistan shows that he was willing to risk a military confrontation with a close ally in order to capture or kill the leader of Al Qaeda.

Pakistan to world: Ignore the man behind the curtain
Pakistan sure did...
Pakistan's prime minister says spy agencies worldwide share the blame for his country's failure to capture Osama Bin Laden, who was killed by US forces.
"We have intelligence failure of the rest of the world including the United States," PM Yousuf Raza Gilani said.
Pakistan has been criticised for not locating Bin Laden, who was living near the country's main military academy.
The CIA head has said the US did not tell Islamabad of the raid in advance, for fear it would be jeopardised.
FYI Pakistan, you are fooling no one.

Asif Zardari *is* a joke
Should he have himself arrested?
Pakistanis who send jokes about Asif Zardari by text message, email or blog risk being arrested and given a 14-year prison sentence.
The country's interior minister, Rehman Malik, announced the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) had been asked to trace electronically transmitted jokes that "slander the political leadership of the country" under the new Cyber Crimes Act.
Mr Malik, said the move would punish the authors of "ill motivated and concocted stories through emails and text messages against the civilian leadership".
The step, which was described by human rights groups as "draconian and authoritarian", came after government was particularly riled by a barrage of caustic jokes being sent to the presidency's official email.

All he will succeed in doing is opening the world's humour floodgates...
"Terrorists have kidnapped our beloved Zardari and are demanding $5,000,000 or they will burn him with petrol. Please donate what you can. I have donated five litres."
What's the difference between Musharraf and Zardari? Musharraf enjoys collecting jokes people make about him, Zardari enjoys collecting people who make jokes about him.
Asif Zardari is so stupid it takes him 3 hours to watch 60 minutes.
