If we invaded Afghanistan because Osama was there after 9/11, why aren't we invading Pakistan?

Answer 1

CORRECTION: If we invaded Afghanistan because Osama was there after 9/11, WHY AREN'T WE LOOKING FOR OSAMA?

"The most important thing is for us to find Osama bin Laden. It is our number one priority and we will not rest until we find him." —GWBush, Washington, D.C., Sept. 13, 2001

"I don't know where bin Laden is. I have no idea and really don't care. It's not that important. It's not our priority." —GWBush, Washington, D.C., March 13, 2002

Hmmmm?????

Answer 2

This is a very relevant question by Sophie. Then another question comes to my mind: Can victory be declared in the "war on terror" without Uncle Bin being catched?

I think the U.S. should have invaded Pakistan in first place and not Afghanistan, where Uncle Bin is absent and most fingers are pointing toward Islamabad.

My answer: al-Qaeda + ISI = Paki Army
ISI = Inter Service Intelligence (a british terror organization in South Asia)

Answer 3

We are told that most Talibanians are supporters of Al Quaida. At the time of 9-11, Al Quaida was resident in Afghanistan and was protected by the Taliban. If the Taliban regain control of Afghanistan, Al Quaida will return to Afghanistan because their present cave lodgings in Pakistan are not comfortable.

Answer 4

Come and pakistan will teach you a lesson, we pakistani are always fighting with each other but when foreigners come into our land, we give reply of a slap by a punch.....and soon foreigns troops in afghanistan will learn their lesson that they have entered wrong mountains, these moutains save us, and we save these mountains. history will repeat itself again.ask british ;)

No country in the world has any right to invade another. Making osama excuse to attack countries and do carpet bombing is not going to work always. most of the time, poor civilians r killed and i know you dont care about it.

Answer 5

So many countries so little time.

That should be the new phrase printed on the back of the doallr bill.
Time to scrap E Pluribus Unum
because the the ambitions of the current leadership of America is one country out of many.

Its really just an expansion of E Pluribus Unum
:)

Answer 6

1) Because Pakistan has nukes

2) We did threaten them with invasion if they did not cooperate with us. Musharraf has given some help, though it's cost him politically in Pakistan, which is mostly hostile to the US.

Answer 7

We should be invading Pakistan - their present leader isn't a leader he is a dictator - and one who ought to be afraid of the US at that!

Answer 8

Ah, another lost soul barking in the dark...

Sophie, wake up, you are getting late, wake up Sophie, wake up, breakfast is getting cold....

Answer 9

Good question. Maybe it's because most of our resources are in the wrong country.
