IF this is accurate, it sounds like Musharraf’s departure has let control of the military slide into more adversarial forces.
Why on earth did the US ever publicly support his ouster?
I think they acknowledge a fait accompli.
No kidding. At least Musharraf was somewhat sympathetic to our goals. With him gone, we now have another rogue Islamic state to deal with... except this one has nukes.
Smart thinking indeed.
They should be enforcing their borders...
but if they are going to tolerate Taliban and AQ inside their territory then perhaps is is time to tell the government that they get no more US money, they get no more equipment and their people can forget getting Visas to the US. Oh, and any support for elements that attack our forces or conduct terrorism against us means your military and infrastructure is now fair game.
Because we have learned NOTHING from the 1979 debacle in Iran.
Because Condoleezza Rice is a quota hire who is in way, way, way over her head.
