Obama Seeks Destabilization of Pakistan


The other day,Barack Obama said he would consider sending American troops into northeast Pakistan if he became President. The reason for that is because the Pakistani government has little control over that area and thus it has become a new sanctuary for terror training camps.
The Pakistani government has it’s hands tied because they do not want to risk destabilizing their country, and after all, that’s the US government’s job! It would be fine to just go in there and kill some insurgents, only lose a few of our guys and only kill a few innocent people and then things would just go back to normal. But that would not be the case.


The Pakistani government treads a fine line between being an ally of the US and having their nation toppled by radicals. Considering that the majority of Pakistani’s do not have a favorable opinion of the US government, to say the least, they will doubtfully like having our guys storm through their borders and start shooting up the joint.
And guess who has nuclear weapons? Pakistan. And guess who else has them? Their arch enemy India. If Pakistan’s government were to be toppled by radicals that would spell huge problems for the US, the region and the world.


This hypothetical comment by Obama, 16 months before he probably does not become President, was not a wise decision
