Shocker: Pakistan May Be Aiding Taliban? Nooooo! Really?
Just found this article, is anybody surprised?
A real shock horror, totally unexpected, out-of-left-field Friend-and-Ally Update: “US think tank: Pakistan helped Taliban insurgents,” by Jason Straziuso for Associated Press, June 9:
KABUL, Afghanistan- Pakistani intelligence agents and paramilitary forces have helped train Taliban insurgents and have given them information about American troop movements in Afghanistan, said a report published Monday by a U.S. think tank.
The study by the RAND Corp. also warned that the U.S. will face “crippling, long-term consequences” in Afghanistan if Taliban sanctuaries in Pakistan are not eliminated.
It echoes recent statements by American generals, who have increased their warnings that militant safe havens in Pakistan are threatening efforts in Afghanistan. The study was funded by the U.S. Defense Department.
“Every successful insurgency in Afghanistan since 1979 enjoyed safe haven in neighboring countries, and the current insurgency is no different,” said the report’s author, Seth Jones. “Right now, the Taliban and other groups are getting help from individuals within Pakistan’s government, and until that ends, the region’s long-term security is in jeopardy.”
Pakistan’s top military spokesman rejected the findings….

June 9th, 2008 at 4:42 pmTurn off the aid and information sharing regarding the G.W.O.T. to Pakistan. Fly the predators where the terrorists lead them, lets see how safe their sanctuaries are.
June 9th, 2008 at 4:56 pmWell if Obama becomes president he will bomb targets in Pakistan, so he says…And to think people want us out of Iraq full heartedly. It’s a lot like killing a cockroach, terrorism is. You cut off it’s head (Iraq) it lives for a few days afterwards, but eventually dies off. (the rest of the middle east)
