Pakistan will shoot down any U.S. drone that intrudes its air space per new directives, a senior Pakistani official told NBC News on Saturday.

Nifty! Let's give them a few billion more.

It's worth bearing in mind that every single piece of military hardware Pakistan threatens us with is US-made and paid for by US taxpayers. Our foreign policy geniuses have spent decades and billions arming and nurturing an Ismamic hell-hole that hates us. Not for the first time, I have to wonder if the US State Department has some requirement that all employees must be fools or people who seek the destruction of the US.

Hopefully, the DOD was smart enough to make sure there is a "back door" - a way of disabling the weapons should the necessity arise. Most advanced weaponry depends on computer software - some of that software could just have "bugs".
