Anybody think this was Pakistan’s “answer” to US pressure over Mumbai?

“We can cut off your supplies if . . . “?

Excellant point. Anyone who stands in the middle of the road(Pakistan adminestration) gets run over by a bus. Time to send the bus. Deficate or remove yourself from the comode. I say we send a message. Bomb something and when they bitch tell them that they have not done the job.

Only if Pakistan agrees to the A-10s. They can't patrol 24/7 and would be a waste of resources. The solution is better ground protection, but the attackers have the upper hand with choosing when they attack.

Pay attention folks.... This happened in Pakistan...

Pakistan IS the Taliban.
The Taliban couldn’t exist without support from Pakistani OFFICIALS in the Military and Intelligence Services.

Pakistan is the enemy.

Crucial. Maybe $5-10 million worth. Like we will run out. These pissant little militias have no real power, but we don't go after them at all seriously. We just futz around with tenth-measures.
