LEGAL AUTHORITY FOR WAR ACTION "UNCLEAR": "President Bush secretly approved orders in July that for the first time allow American Special Operations forces to carry out ground assaults inside Pakistan without the prior approval of the Pakistani government, according to senior American officials. ... It is unclear precisely what legal authorities the United States has invoked to conduct even limited ground raids in a friendly country."

I know I should stop being shocked by this stuff.  I guess it's just hard to kill the last tiny bit of idealism in my heart.   :-\

You know, if the U.S. were a person, he'd be an ASSHOLE.

Just after 9/11 American troops where stationed in Pakistan. I spent 2 months there.

Of course, the Paki gov't knew all about it. Bush is going to start a nuclear war.
