| Quote: | Nato forces in eastern Afghanistan say their helicopters have been fired upon by a Pakistani military checkpoint.
The Western alliance said its aircraft had not crossed into Pakistani airspace when they came under fire in Khost province, news agency AP reports.
The incident comes amid growing tension over a number of recent incidents at the Pakistan-Afghan border.
Earlier this week, Pakistani troops said they had fired warning shots at US helicopters that crossed the border.
A drone believed to be operated by the CIA crashed inside Pakistan on Wednesday.
In a statement on the latest incident, Nato's International Security Assistance Force (Isaf) said there had been no damage or casualties.
"Isaf helicopters received small-arms fire from a Pakistan military checkpoint along the border near Tanai district, Khost, September 25 while conducting routine operations in Afghanistan," it said in a statement. |

If Pakistan, or anyone, wants to go to war with the US, now is the time while we're focused on our "dismal" financial standing.

| The only ones wanting to go to war are the USA. Remember the pretexts for the invasion of Afghanistan and Iraq. Pakistan, Afghanistan and Iraq did not attack the USA. The current economic mess will hopefully reduce American aggression but it may instead spur additional military adventures as various stellar intellects are arguing war will stimulate the US economy. |

I am sure ev1 has seend this but there is a great deal of content about creating war to print money so the FRB can make more interest, the companies in the cartel can make more tanks, bombs, etc.
Good refresher in any case...

Pakistan isn't exactly a paradise right now either.

Compare the change that's happened to the US over the past year to the change in Pakistan over the last year. We've become rapidly MORE worse than Pakistan has. (Look at us: having a competition over the destruction rate of two nuclear-tipped states)
If you're going to have a war, then it'd better be now compared to in the past. If by some chance this bailout saves the US from utter destruction, then war is not really an option when your state is declining at a faster rate.

that's exactly what i was thinking. that shortage of $$ & energy would make it harder to the US to continue killing civilians in foreign lands.
BUT it's a mistake to under-estimate the US war machine. one of the lowest-energy-consumption tools that the US military has, is nuclear weapons - in terms of deployment. it's much easier to fire off 1 or 2 missiles than to send a combat group somewhere.
