Forgive the rapid fire Afghanistan, Taliban, Pakistan blogs but things happen so fast in our world it is hard to keep up. My article on Karzai and this one on the ISI should help you to see that it is naive to think we can make any real difference in these countries. If the Pakistanis are training the Taliban and we are sending billions to Pakistan, aren’t we in fact paying people to strengthen our enemies? Read this excerpt from the London School of economics:
“Pakistan’s apparent involvement in a double-game of this scale could have major geopolitical implications and could even provoke U.S. countermeasures,” said the report, which was based on interviews with Taliban commanders, former Taliban officials, Western diplomats and many others.
“Without a change in Pakistani behavior it will be difficult, if not impossible, for international forces and the Afghan government to make progress against the insurgency,” said the report, written by Matt Waldman, a fellow at Harvard University’s John F. Kennedy School of Government.
If this doesn’t give you pause once again then what will? As trusting as American’s are we have allowed ourselves to elect the most radical president in history. We have allowed him to destroy the very foundation of our Nation and we deny his loyalties to everything but the America we know and love.
There is no doubt but what the American Military can accomplish anything they are truly commissioned to do. Given the time, the tools and the commitment they will bring about the results desired. Hamstrung and hindered by political maneuvers will result in their death and defeat. Just this past Friday this statement threw our entire military under the bus.
Thank God for our troops abroad but how can they succeed with the Rules they have been given and the support that is being withheld. If that is not disturbing enough, how is it that these things go on without mention? It is like a huge puddle of oil in the gulf that no one sees for weeks. You have to wonder how this plays into these Leftist’s plans.

Pakistan in general is a land of muslim savages yearning to bomb and murder everyone back to the stone age, so their intelligence agency in bed with the taliban is no surprise.
Sadly, the people that we thought might be allies, are increasingly turning out to be adversaries.
