I don't mind putting a little time between raids to see if a second on is not necessary. Ultimately, though, I support the raid policy.
"Now that ceaseless exposure has calloused us to the lewd and the vulgar, it is instructive to see what still seems wicked to us. What still slaps the clammy flab of our submissive consciousness hard enough to get our attention?"

Hmmm. Well this was certainly an interesting read, if you have time (it's four pages long) you should read it. To defeat the Taliban and al-Qaeda, the United States must start dealing with Afghanistan and Pakistan as one region, not as separate entities.
I don't necessarily disagree with it, but the fundamentalists aren't Pakistan, they're just in Pakistan. Which is why I don't condone the raids, especially with prospect of civilian causalities.

I know you're hip in the infiltration thing and that we've discussed how I don't believe it to be particularly viable considering the structure of this particular organization. I also think Polis' strategy poses widespread civilian casualty.
Civilian casualities aren't ideal, but how else to we realistically wage war against evil people who wedge themselves amongst civilian populations? Is there a lesser of two evils, here?

"Civilian casualities aren't ideal".....but....and that is what happens all over the world with our governments and others. If shit is about and innocent people get in the way they're going to die. The "but"...our government officials are saying it too, "Yes we're going to kill civilians and we hate it BUT we are trying to get Bin and all his nasty boys." People will die like always..... a "terrorist" may or may not be found and another one will come along in his or her place. I guess we just have to face the facts huh, some folks are gonna die. Today, tomorrow and always. Goddammit it is like doomsday. *packs more canned goods down into the bunker*

I have submitted my Pakistan Plan to the Pentagon. I have yet to receive a response. This is a brief outline.
Nuclear strikes...followed by massive poison gas strikes to exterminate the large population centres thus making occupation more viable...
1 Karachi
2 Lahore
3 Faisalabad
4 Rawalpindi
5 Multan
6 Gujranwala
7 Hyderabad
8 Peshawar
9 Quetta
10 Islamabad
11 Sargodha
12 Bahawalpur
13 Sialkot
14 Sukkur
15 Larkana
16 Jhang
17 Shekhupura
18 Mardan
19 Rahim Yar Khan
20 Gujrat
Then...divide the Pakistan into several smaller nations based on ethnicity:
To be occupied by U.S./Indian troops
Sindhi
Baluchistan
Punjabi
Pushtu (blanket this area with poison gas continually)
Kashmir - annexed into India - Muslims expelled/exterminated
Madrassah's closed/Clerics therein...shot...
