#3 PAKISTAN DEFENCE FORUM > PAKISTAN KEEPS HAGGLING US ON TRANSIT [closed NATO Supply Routes] FOR CASH. US cutbacks to Pak CSF taking a deep toll.

* CHINESE MILITARY FORUM LINK > [Defence Professionals] OPENING THE NATO SUPPLY ROUTES: DOES PAKISTAN HAVE ANY [real] OPTION?

Given Islamabad's subtantive reliance of the CSF for mucho of its indigenous annual Budget-Defense appropriations???

and

* DEFENCE.PK/FORUMS > PANETTA: US TO KEEP UP [post-AL-LIBI] ATTACKS [drone strikes] ON AL-QAEDA IN PAKISTAN.

* SAME > OBAMA AIDE [NatSecAdv Ton Donilon] THREATENED KAYANI [Pak COAS], BUT HE STILL REFUSED TO HELP, i.e. promised to take or NOT take Pak Army-Mil action agz Haqqani Network.

ARTIC > COAS KAYANI SEEMINGLY "UNMOVED" BY US PLAN TO KEEP 10-15,000 CT TROOPS IN AFGHANISTAN PROPER AFTER 2014, TROOPS WHICH TECHNICALLY COULD CROSS OR ENTER INTO PAKISTAN IN CASE OF CRISIS.

* PAKISTAN DEFENCE FORUM > WE DO NOT TRUST NOR UNDERSTAND PAKISTAN: PENTAGON CHIEF.

> US-shared/supplied INTEL leaks by internal Pak sources ending up wid Militants.
> Why Osama in Abbottabad = major PAK MIL REGION?
Panetta could not trust Pak enough to NOT inform Osama US Commando task force = SEAL TEAM 6 were coming to get him.
> Top Pak Govt Politicos, Officers non-informed, misinformed, or disinformed compared to lower level Subordinates, i.e. are weirdly-n-mysteriously routinely "out of the loop" as per normal or sensitive information. TRUST? KNOWLEDGE? PROFICIENCY? .....@ETC. GAP???
