According to Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton:

FoxNews: “I think that the Pakistani government is basically abdicating to the Taliban and to the extremists. But look at why this is happening,” she told the House Foreign Affairs Committee. “If you talk to people in Pakistan, especially in the ungoverned territories, which are increasing in number, they don’t believe the state has a judiciary system that works.”

That’s the answer all right.  If Pakistan, or any country for that matter, wants to prevent terrorists from taking over, they need a judiciary system that works.

Yeah, that’ll stop ‘em.  Arrest the Taliban, throw their butts in jail.

I hope President Barack Hussein Obama has a better plan than that.  Are we really counting on Pakistan to prevent a Taliban takeover?

Isn’t this just a wee bit too important to wait and hope that verbal admonishments from the US Secretary of State in front of a House subcommittee will somehow wake up Pakistan and they will fix their judiciary system, thereby stopping the Taliban in their tracks?

Let’s consider, for the moment, the remote chance that a better judiciary in Pakistan will, against all odds, not prevent the Taliban from getting their hands on some of Pakistan’s nuclear arsenal.. then what?

HRC and BHO spend so much time pointing to the perceived failures of the Bush administration, they are totally blinded to their mounting failures….  and we may all pay the price for their arrogant, narcissist induced ignorance.

Pray they wake up before the Taliban has some new toys… the alternative may be the first nuclear exchange in the history of our planet…

And that would be very bad for Mother Earth…
