With friends like China and Pakistan who needs enemies?

Rumsfeld recently refuted the reports coming out of India that we let the Pakis fly into Kunduz and save some of their guys.

Here is my fear as to what happened: the Americans were duped into letting go significant numbers of Pakistani military intelligence (ISI) men, including the brigadiers, who are the real brains behind Al Qaeda. After all, despite all the disinformation about "Arabs, Chechens and Pakistanis" among the foreigners in Kunduz, it appears that most were Pakistanis. The 'strategic assets' among them, the hardcore Islamists in the ISI and the army, have been saved.

That is an extremely serious charge against Messrs. Bush, Powell and Rumsfeld. Essentially, they are being accused of letting Al Qaeda live to strike at us another day, to pay off some mysterious debt to the Pakistanis. I find that hard, nay impossible to believe.

If these were Pakistani political, military or religious elites, I have to believe that their permanent neutering (as jihadist participants) was part of the bargain.

Perhaps someone remembers more........

When you catch a bullet on Afganistan's plains,

And the women come out to cut up what remains,

Just roll to your rifle and blow out your brains,

And go to your Gawd like a soldier. R. Kipling

This sounds to me like more propaganda from India, hoping to make trouble for Pakistan. If they keep this up, they're more likely to make trouble for themselves. It's not going to make them popular if they keep trying to put their oar in.

Im sure they were ISI agents.
