Andreas: Al Qaida was in Pakistan because at Tora
Bora, the US secretly allowed Pakistan to pull its
troops out (10,000 or more Pakistani soldiers and
officers were in Afghanistan as part of the
Taliban). Along with that pullout, the Pakistani
also brought Al Qaida out of Afghanistan.
Eric: Please provide some reference for this
assertion. If it is secret, how do you know it? As
for al-Qaeda leadership being all lumped up in
Afghanistan, that is patent nonsense. Where do you
think they found Khald Sheik Mohammed? Pakistan.
Andreas: You didn't answer my question. If the US
invaded Pakistan, would you have joined the US army?
Eric: I'm too old, but in a hypothetical world,
yes, although I'd prefer to contribute by joining
the Navy. I like being at sea. But yes, in a time
of universal conscription, I would certainly do
what I could.
How about you, Andreas?
