Ohio class subs were built for a reason ya know.

How many reports is this in the last year saying the same thing? The reports saying what we already know but our politicians refuse to address.

I guess we should just give them 1.5 billion dollars a year to support their activities, like the People's Champion Hillary Clinton is doing.

 

[Kappo]

Lake Afghanistan?

The report also asserts that Pakistan helps the Coalition Forces in Afghanistan.

We should be flattered, if anything. Double-dealing in a military conflict is the American way.

Only American arrogance believes the rest of the world is not as divided as we are, or that there is a top dog dictator in any country that can compel everyone working in absolute harmony together to de fearless leaders agenda without exception.

In the partisan Washington hyper partisan world of today, that idea ain't working for US, so why should we expect it to work in Pakistan?

We bribed Mushie, and then never delivered the prompt resolution we promised, and when we meddled in internal Pakistani affairs. we pissed off many in the Pakistani military.

The CIA needs to pay the operator of wikileaks a little visit.

 

[PeshakJang]

It's America's fault

You're such a predictable hack

It's impossible NOT to piss off the Pakistani. It's been their way of life for millennia. They disagree for the sake of disagreeing.

 

[Patranus]

What I don't understand is how the military doesn't know who accessed these documents and distributed them.

That in itself is disturbing.

Maybe he just realizes the world isnt as simple as some of you assert. While I consider the practice despicable its no different than what the US has done for generations. If you look at the world and your own backyard in such simple terms you will be sorely disappointed.

Pakistan is running an extortion racket with the world's most powerful country and the best part is you guys are actually paying them!

Pakistan has no interest in solving the Afghan or terrorist crisis you and the rest of the western world is bankrolling them.

What you don't realize is that yes, some things are that simple. In that region, life is very simple. Money, drugs, power, hate. That's how simple life is for the majority of people there doing the fighting and supporting the fighters.

Once you get out of your mom's fucking basement you might have an idea of how the real world works and how stupid you sound. Until then, stop embarrassing yourself.

what do you think we should do?

GTFO of Afghanistan.

This.

The paks are playing a nice double game...

Countering India:
1. They NEED the taliban and cheap cannon fodder as a counter balance in a proxy war with India in the region.
2. pak lacks strategic depth against India, having a Taliban Afghanistan gives them that strategic depth.

A US win isn't in their interest:
1. If the US "wins", that's the end of their financial bonanza and advanced weapons sales.
2. The pak govt. will be seen as a greater traitor to the greater islamic cause - even worse than they already are. The pak taliban are already very strong in the NWFP and they've sprung up in the punjab too.
