Team Obama Says If There's a Successful Terror Attack – The US Will Attack Pakistan
Posted by Jim Hoft on Saturday, May 8, 2010, 5:28 PM
Obama said he’d attack Pakistan while campaigning in 2008.
He wasn’t kidding.
The Obama Administration announced today that the US will attack Pakistan if there’s a successful terror attack in the US.
The New York Times reported:
The Obama administration has delivered new and stiff warnings to Pakistan after the failed Times Square car bombing that it must urgently move against the nexus of Islamic militancy in the country’s lawless tribal regions, American and Pakistani officials said.
The American military commander in Afghanistan, Gen. Stanley A. McChrystal, met with the Pakistani military chief, Gen. Ashfaq Parvez Kayani, at his headquarters here on Friday and urged Pakistan to move more quickly in beginning a military offensive against the Pakistani Taliban and Al Qaeda in North Waziristan, Americans and Pakistanis familiar with the visit said. The officials spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the delicacy of continuing diplomatic efforts here.
The Pakistani-American man who admitted to the Times Square attack, Faisal Shahzad, 30, told American investigators that he had received training in North Waziristan, the main base for the Pakistani Taliban, Al Qaeda and other militant groups.
The new pressure from Washington was characterized by both the Pakistani and American officials as a sharp turnaround from the relatively polite encouragement adopted by the Obama administration in recent months.
“We are saying, ‘Sorry, if there is a successful attack, we will have to act’ ” within Pakistan, one of the American officials said.
Bombs away!
This may explain why only 4% of Pakstanis speak well of the United States now.

Whats new? Obama has been killing innocent civilians in Pakistan since he has been in office.

Yep. Always a good idea to annouce your war plans…you know like withdrawal dates, arsenal, who we are going to attack…yep. A regular Gen Patton right here in the WH.
shibumi commented:
And all Pockeystahn has to do is say “Dude, honestly, it was a rogue Tollybahn from Afghanistan, don’t attack us, it wasn’t our fault, honest” and the issue will die.
Militant Conservative commented:
You must be a freaking clairvoyant to know who is going to attack us OR you know this already due to being head of the worlds terrorist organization. I do not trust you nor respect you. Your a disgrace to the human race let alone whatever country you were born in. To the death I will fight you and spit in your face.
May the fleas of a thousand camels infest your armpits. (an old arab curse) powder is dry
John Gargano commented:
A statesman of any caliber would never have made such an absurd statement. This simply further underscores Obama’s inexperience. Like a child grown old, he continues to pursue the naive belief that he can make the entire world conform to his view of it. His diplomatic failures to date seem to have had no effect on him because he is unable to process negative feedback – ego too big.
If he had any comprehension of the culture and mindset throughout South Asia and the Middle East he would never have made such a totally unnecessary and inflammatory statement in public.
anna commented:
I’m kind of confused here. Didn’t “the won” vacation in Pakistan a few years back? Whats wrong, did he not enjoy the food or were the women not on equal footing with his beard..(that would be the the most beautiful women in the world) Michelle..my bell, or foot shackle..Obama… I just don’t get it. Where’s my scapegoat
bill-tb commented:
The statement says more about the one making it than it does anything else. Obama’s man-child is showing. You do not go around threatening other countries. Suppose Pooock-eee-staahn decides to reply, you attack us we nuke you. Then what?
Isn’t that what Iran wants the bomb for?
Even if the attacker comes from Yemen and is Yemeni? sheesh, what a dope.
DocScience commented:
Has anyone gone to war with a child as leader lately?
I forgot how it turns out.
gus commented:
I thought Bloomturd told us we couldn’t lash out at Muzztards??
Opie?? You have some ‘splaining to do.
jonyjoe101 commented:
the taliban must be enjoying this. They can play the pakistan military against the american military, solve two problems at one time.
This is all boastful talk for the American public comsumption. Obama would sooner attack an American militia group before he attacks a fellow muslim.
I think even the muslim countries miss “bush the younger” now. He was tough but sane. Not the same can be said about the drug addict in the current whitehouse.
Zelsdorf Ragshaft III commented:
Only an idiot would attack a nuclear armed nation. Pakistan may or may not have the capability to attack the U.S. but they can surely give warheads to people who can deliver them. Obama is not only inexperienced, he is a fool and a dangerous one at that.
JT commented:
This turd is an absolute moron. I wish someone over at the State Department could set this childish little boy down and explain to him that you don’t mouth-off like this as if it were a game of stick-ball in the back alleys of Chicago. Threats like this are taken very seriously by that part of the world, and “the One” has no idea what kind of dangerous fire he is playing with. I don’t expect anyone over at State to talk to this dope, since we have “Pantsuit Hillary” running that shop, and she knows little or nothing about foreign affairs. When are we going to have a government that appoints people to critical positions in government that actually KNOW something, rather than satisfying a political itch (rash).
I did not vote for this man, but when he won, I said to myself that I should just accept that my pick did not win (And it was not McCain either), and wish him the best and hope to God almighty that our new President will have the knowledge, grace, wisdom and understanding to lead our nation. We are desperate for leaders in this country. Now that I have seen almost 18 months of his decision-making and “leadership”, I am very disappointed. I only hope we can change the “Hope and Change” in 2012, and that our adversaries will wait that long for us to get our act together.
shibumi commented:
Last time I checked, Pocheystahn was considered an ally. Does that mean the Britain, France, Germany, Canada, Australia etc. should start worrying as well?
Mrgoodwench commented:
Sheikh Barack Hussain of DC
Instead of planning attacks on Paaaahkeeeestaaaan,
and yapping about it,
why don’t you go around rounding up the terrorists who are already here and make sure they don’t get to fly or drive or ride a train or go to a mall .
gus commented:
Opie seems a little WEE WEE’D up over this “one off” “lone-wolf”.
The guy was taken off of our own watch list.
So naturally POCKEEESTAHN should be watching American citizens in Connecticut.
This could be humorous if our President wasn’t a bigger idiot than most high school seniors.
Derak commented:
Dear Pookeestan:
Please wait a couple more days before you knock Barry off his rocker. I haven’t yet received the potassium iodate tablets I ordered.
I’ll also need a few more days to get the food and duct tape down to the bomb shelter.
Dave commented:
#’s 13 & 14 have it spot on. Only an total moron goes around saying that they will attack a country with nuclear weapons. A country that is only a hair’s breath away from a Taliban takeover and this would just about do it – Atta boy, Bammy!
wanumba commented:
It sounds like a deliberate comment to undermine the current Pakistan government in favor of the radicals.
Obama treats our allies like they need to be overthrown and grovels before those who count America as an enemy.
Lovely, just lovely.
Opaobie commented:
Obama just offered an invitation to Putin or the Chinese to attack us and blame it on Pakistan. There are so many scenarios to choose from, any one of a thousand terrorist organizations could make a bundle carrying out the attack for them and do some serious damage to the US-Pakistan relationship at the same time. We have never been in such desperate straits and being controlled by such incompetent or traitorous fools in our entire history. The totality of damage Obama is doing to the USA and the West in general is unparalleled.
Meanwhile, the stooges in charge of Homeland Security are letting terrorists in right and left that have red flags all over the place while Janet Incompetano concentrates all her resources on TEA Party activists, calling everybody who wants the borders enforced RACISTS, trumping up charges against OUR OWN military, and disinviting or outright prohibiting Christians from participating in ANYTHING public.
donh commented:
Pakistan just did attack us by terror….Why does the bomb have to explode for us to respond? What is Obama’s definition of a successful attack? 10 dead, 1,000 dead, 10,000+ ?
Stuart commented:
I don’t believe he is serious for a moment.
Short of a full blown NBC attack on this country; an attack in which an existential threat was presented, Obama would do nothing. He does not care a whit what happens to the american citizen as long as he stays in power: as long as he can advance the socialist agenda. Remember, never let a good crisis go to waste.
Opaobie commented:
“Pakistan just did attack us by terror.”… no, but that would be what Obama wants you to think. It muddies the water, and it makes us take our eyes off the real terrorist organizations so Obama can then react the way HE wants…which is to do nothing. He knows that unless an attack can be traced back to the official government of Pakistan, international law would be on the side of Pakistan if we attacked them…for what that’s worth.
This is just Obama’s way of pretending to show strength when he knows he doesn’t really have to do anything. Don’t forget, he just opened up an initiative to “share technology” with the Muslim world. They teach us how to build suicide bomb belts, and we allow them to infiltrate all our centers of industry and we send experts from Silicon Valley to teach them everything we can. Some “exchange”. It is just another way Obama is elevating and integrating Islam into the West.
DTOM3 commented:
President Panty Waist in action! Can’t you just feel the dread the Pockestaaani’s are feeling!
This guy is such a joke. No one in this world is afraid of BO or our thunder thighs Sec. of State. He has personally invited these terrorists to our country by destroying our interrogation methods, assigning AG Eric Holder to ‘convict’ these murderers and tying the hands of our military!
We live in the Twilight Zone!
Taqiyyotomist commented:
Dave #19 agreed.
#12 jonyjoe101 has it spot-on, too.
“This is all boastful talk for the American public comsumption. Obama would sooner attack an American militia group before he attacks a fellow muslim.”
If, God forbid, there were a catastrophic Muslim attack in the U.S., Obama would most likely use this crisis for his own ends, as he is wont to do. Anything less than catastrophic, such as the Fort Hood massacre, which, horrific as it was, was no nuke, nor even a 9/11, and he will respond just as he did with Hasan.
If we suffer a major attack, Obama and co. will use the crisis to QUICKLY morph this nation into his nightmare totalitarian state.
This statement was indeed for the hawks in America who needed him to say that for their peace of mind. The Muslims know who he stands with – as he promised he would.
Everything he says is deception. Remember this, and never forget it.
Taqiyyotomist commented:
“…he will respond just as he did with Hasan.”
…that is, by doing nothing.
Taqiyyotomist commented:
I’m perpetually impressed by the incisiveness of the questions posed by commenters here at GP.
Sandy, in the upstairs thread, paraphrasing:
“If Iran attacks us, does this mean Obama will still attack Pakistan?”
GOOD question, Sandy.
Jo commented:
Hussein is mimicking John F. Kennedy who told the Soviets that if Cuba fires missiles at the USA, then the USA will respond as if The Soviet Union sent those missiles.
Elizabeth commented:
Who benefits from the foreign policy of the USA?
We know it’s not the USA.
Opus #6 commented:
This is Oblabla’s way of bringing a gun to a knife fight. Worked for him back in Chicago….
wow commented:
Today is one of those days I wish we had the British parliamentary system here so that we could get rid of O sooner than 2012. I’m afraid we will have very little of our country left by then.
Insufficiently Sensitive commented:
Obama is not a statesman by any stretch. Reflexive threats of this sort are the hallmark of a tinpot dictator like Hugo Chavez, not the President of all US citizens. He has risen to his level of incompetence, and we are all thereby placed at risk.
Community organizing to score points in the class wars, and voting ‘present’ in Congress, is exactly the wrong sort of resume for President.
Liz commented:
This prez is freakin’ psychotic. 99.9% of everyone I know could do a better job than this pretty much all around. Are we nearing unanimity on impeachment yet? Oh please oh please
Trialdog commented:
The Islamofacists want us to come. As such, this encourages them to attack because they desire the response.
Obama is no statesman. Frightening it is to not have a foreign policy. Frightening.
anon commented:
He’s still saying sorry?
