US politicians continued with the condemnation of Pakistan today, with Sen. Lindsey Graham (R – SC) saying that that was broad bipartisan support in Congress for a military attack on Pakistan and that “all options are on the table” against the nation.
The most direct threat yet, it prompted a quick response from the Pakistani government, with Prime Minister Gilani recalling his Foreign Minister from a visit to the United States and ordering an emergency “all-parties” conference to discuss the prospect of a US invasion.
Gilani insisted it was important for the coalition government to establish political consensus with the opposition about handling the US threats, and called a number of opposition leaders. A unity statement is expected to be released soon.
The US has accused the Pakistani government of funding the Haqqani network as well as ordering them to attack the US embassy in Kabul. Pakistan has denied the allegation.
OOOOOO Yeah… This Graham "cracker" wants to hit Pakistan…. Oh sure DUDE….. Go for it..!!
Be SURE to talk your INTENTION up in PUBLIC….. Maybe YOU wanna SNATCH their NUKES…. That should get you some campaign CASH..,.. What a statesman you are…..NOT… More like MORON and certainly a CRACKER…!!! LOL……………

This is truly beyond stupid … it is impossible to call Graham an idiot because what would one call Perry, Romney and the rest of American "new age intellectuals"? The reason some nations have or consider nuclear weapons is to prevent US and other bullies from acting upon that kind of demagogy.
Almost want to say "bring'em on". And send this hero Graham to the frontline.
to paraphrase the parable: let he who advocates be the first to step forward on the front line.
Fat chance that he & his family will be stepping forward anytime soon!
Bravo, this is what the honourable would do in defence of their accusations. But the opposite is true here in the Cowards of Congress. Graham should be just the one to eat his words, he should done the the full gear and step on the front lines. We have Corrupt Cowards and Neocons running our Nation, what should we do as Taxpaying American Patriots? I call for the constitutional right of starting a new Government ….. one that believes our Nation is sovereign. One that adheres to that constitution.
So much for the idea that the aged get wiser. That doesn't apply to the idiots who seem to have been involved in the US politics for decades. It doesn't help that this moron is a lawyer. I guess since they can't yet get their much desired war with Iran, Pakistan will have to do for now.
Would someone please slap this moron. Seriously! This idiot babbles incessantly this sort of rot gut stupidity.
GrahamLiebermanMcain are israeli agents
This guy should just come out of the closet already, nobody supports this type of craziness without someone having compromising pictures of them, it would save a lot of lives if he just stepped out of the closet, then he'd be free of the blackmail. Or perhaps he is genuinely crazy and stupid ? Nah nobody is this dumb.
This is the fool part time Military Judge who has also said that a Lawyers written opinion is LAW.
The man is getting stupider and stupider, lets see attack Pakistan and we will hear those immortal words Scratch one Carrier group, not ship not aircraft but Carrier Group, however the US has never attacked a country that they THINK has a Nuke like Nth Korea, those they KNOW have Nukes are as safe as houses.
These people are certifiably insane.
This is why the 60% of the voters who are anti-war need to elect a real anti-war president. Its time for the American people to start saying no. New President, New House, 1/3 New Senate in 2012!
I trhink american politicians don,t see the wind. In Pakistan to march is a dream as they could not control Afghanistan which had no army and no ammunition.
This is the time to leave america as unreliable partner in the world. They decieved always Pakistan and Muslim countries.
If the will do this act will be end of 140000 soldiers in Afghanistan. We need only to supply sofiticated arms to Mujahedin and they will finish american occupation.
Americans have not understood that they are decievers and wants to kill Pakistanis for infidel americans.
Biggest lier and deciever and killers of mankind.
Screw Senator Graham period
Why do a people with an entire generation amongst them having 1st-hand experienced the Viet Nam adventure willingly offer up their children & grandchildren to these lunatics? What am I missing? Uncle Sam lied to in the 60s; why is His word to be unquestioned now? Will it take a catastrophe to force change?
Pakistan attacked us on 9/11 to get sanctions lifted on its nuclear program. Search Pakistan sanctions unjust to read their threats against us.
Please Explain. I don't follow… But thanks for the lead, I'm googling it now…!!
Here is an article the week before 9/11 that warns us by ex CIA and others that Pakistan is angry over the sanctions.

"Pakistan:Leaving U.S. Sanctions in Place Would Be Grave
By Mansoor Ijaz, R. James Woolsey and James A. Abrahamson
Published: September 7, 2001"
As to Pakistan and 9/11, the Complete 9/11 Timeline has many articles on Pakistan and its links to 9/11.
10-year of investigation did not reveal anything but these conspiracy-theory type can come up with whatever they want to justify an attack. Israelis were also angry at Bush's tilt towards Palestinians, did they collude with Pakistan on this project? What rubbish!
The New York Times…he he he…. That beacon of truth and honesty best known for cheering the sheeple into illegal ward.
A CIA tactician on dialysis (verified in 98), the same kind of right wing para military monkeys we've spawned and trained all over the globe to deal with a specific theatre of operations, gone rogue with sudden newfound health and logistics to carry out global jihad because of religion? Orrrr the same people who give Bush and Obama their orders on the cell phone (what? you thought the public face of the mob actually ran the thing? hah) knocked that shit down so they could have a defense budget of world conquest proportions and a perfect societal nemesis to comfortably guide them into senescence with. Will global communications be the spark that woke the third world up? From a long term perspective, it's hard to argue otherwise. They've had their people and lands exploited and burned a thousand times over by the machinations of empire. Keeping them ignorant is getting increasingly more challenging.
Pakistan did not attack us on 9/11 just as no arab nation has ever attacked Israel except in 1973. There is a big difference in individual and national actions. When the nations approve and do the action then it is the nation. I also noticed you did not state we were attacked by saudia arabia on 911. Were they not part of the 19?
Great idea Graham. The Pakistani Army will welcome invading American troops with nuclear tipped Shaheen missiles and WWIII will commence. Graham is committing treason by even suggesting such insanity.
O.K.. Ok… I checked out your "Pakistan Did It" work…. on http://anthraxvaccine.blogspot.com/2008/12/confir…
The first problem for my in your theory is the choice of TARGETS… Try this http://www.newsgarden.org/columns/anthrax/anthrax…
http://www.newsgarden.org/columns/anthrax/anthrax…
Your belief that PK was the perp only underlines how little we know about these 911 connected events…. The uncurious George W. never saw an investigation he liked….
I agree with you on George Bush and the enduring mystery of Pakistan and 9/11. Thanks for having an open mind to this possibility.
Although I posted that discussion at the anthrax article, the anthrax attacks are a separate issue from 9/11 itself. I do not have a definite view on who was responsible for the anthrax attacks and am waiting for the GAO report due this month.
Thanks for your thanks…..Us Ole Alantic types gotta stick close when possible…. I'm out init…41.25'N X 70.35'W……& you…??
Senator Graham is…MAD! We are not only overspent militarily but overextended as well. The last thing we need is another amorphous group of ant-Americans. I have a suggestion…were Graham to be first and lead a Marine Corps fire-team into the tribal belt of Pakistan, perhaps, just perhaps I could support him.
It is precisely our heavy handedness that leads to a growing anti-Americanism around the globe. Butt out!! Senator Graham.
Pipeline must go thru their as well?
Unbelievable! ! 10 yrs. fighting a rag-tag bunch in Afghanistan armed with WW2 weapons and home-made IED’s and not being able to defeat them, and this clown wants to attack nuclear-armed Pakistan?
Of course we could bomb them back to the 14th century, but at what cost? Graham must be heavily invested in the military supply companies that would also like to see more war. Anyone who wants more war must send their own families first and pay double their taxes to finance it.
REAL Good point jaczar… ["Unbelievable! ! 10 yrs. fighting a rag-tag bunch in Afghanistan armed with WW2 weapons and home-made IED's and not being able to defeat them"]…… Isn't this current generation of IEDs bad enough… How many of those U,S, Army …Marines CUM back with no legs no balls…… NO DICK!!!!!!!
Some-one should mention to the cracker that nuclear IEDs would be a [B][I][T][C][H] No Dick…. No Balls… NO…NOTHING…. No one to tell the tale…. Just that cloud that Condi used to lie us into war..
Even if he is invested (what politician wouldn't be), where does he plan to live afterward? Mars, the moon?
At first I thought it would be another Illegal war on Iran with all the talk about it.But as of late they have been illegaly killing Pakistani civilians with Jones,Davis the CIA officer mudering a couple civilians and was let free after they paid the family guess he had diplomatic status witch alows you to kill as you please.Well this could be what the USA wants a chance to start WW3.I am sure Pakistan,China,Russia,North and maybe south Korea.and the entire middel east.The world is sick of the muders of people on sovergn land witch is illegal.All America does is what it pleases against the Geniva convention rules and there constitution,and all the worlds countrys asidse from Israel how will be attacked to should all stand together and stop the muders and crmes that America commites.Even all allies should help for breaking the Genive convention law and war cimes and crimes against humanity.I'm a Canadian and now no Canadians want are country in any war now or past like Lybia and Iraq.We must in larg very larg numbers by the millions demand are government not to get ionto an illegal American war that might turn into WW3.
The Senator needs to study geography. The US supply line for Afghanistan runs thru Pakistan….
Whenever Lindsey Graham tries to act butch, someone always dies.
I just finished readin up on the latest on foreign minister lieberman of Israel. I always have a headache after reading about the man and wonder how could any nation have a thug like him as the face of their nation. Now i a reading a Senator Graham who makes Lieberman look like a professional official. Grahamn has now pushed for 7 of the last 3 wars. He collects a pay check as a reservist but he voted to pass a law that a member of the senate or congress cannot be call up to active duty while in office. If someone takes a bullet I would think the most useless individual would be a congressman or senator. Is there any wonder we are a disaster when we let a guy who only talent was looking for evidence in a blow job.
It's not the Graham cracker alone that wants to go for the kill. The corporate media on high, trying to sell the lie and clear the way to invade. So, I guess Iran will have to wait its turn.
The new Republican employment plan.
this dickbag was just saying yesterday that cuts to the military could "destroy the dept. of defense"
guess a new war will make sure they only take Soc. Security and Medicare
Every military expenditure is free in Senator Graham land, just add it to the deficit If there is twelve hippies smoking drugs in India while bad mouthing the United States, he would be all for an invasion of India..
