The New War

Why isn't anyone talking about the fact that we've recently invaded Pakistan? Even though we have already done raids into Pakistan, but American media seems to be outright ignoring it! Even my beloved NPR made the situation sound hypothetical while talking about it earlier.

From the article:
The US has been carrying out regular military air strikes on Pakistan from Afghanistan, but ten days ago US troops carried out a ground assault for the first time.

Pakistan said the raid in South Waziristan was a violation of its sovereignty and summoned the US ambassador to hear a "very strong protest".

If you ask me, and of course, you didn't, I'd say that foreign forces inside of another country killing people counts as some sort of invasion... And the Pakistanis aren't fond of being invaded.

So, yes, W. has technically started another war before he leaves office. I thought Cheney was going to start his war with the Iranians, but you never can tell! (Maybe we'll get both!)
