Gee, did anybody notice?
"Al-Qa'ida is improving the last key aspect of its ability to attack the U.S.: the identification, training, and positioning of operatives for an attack in the homeland," he wrote in the 47-page document.
...that the oh so macho president isn't saying "Bring 'em on!" to this one? This is the administration that accused the military and intelligence people of cowardice, the Democrats of treason and the American people of lacking patriotism. This is also the administration who, within the same testimony as above, referred to the Musharraf government as "the legitimate government of Pakistan." Yeah, right. Suspended the constitution (POC), put the judiciary under house arrest, usurped power, rigging elections, murdered the opposition, trains and sends suicide bombers to the neighboring countries, forces its own citizens to engage in suicide bombings by threatening to kill all the relatives, prosecutes the victims of rape for adultery, rules without Constitutional authority from a military commander-in-chief position.
I guess that would constitute a legitimate government to the Republican party.
They should have asked Messrs. McConnell and Hayden about the disappeared prisoners in Pakistan and the ruling by the Pakistani Supreme Judicial Court that handing over prisoners to the Americans to be taken to Bagram was illegal extraordinary rendition.
I have completed sending letters to my congressional delegation demanding that they begin prosecutions for torture under U.N.CATCIDT. Failure to prosecute and punish is also a breach.
