#1 The Afghan/Pakistan Border is
"sealed"?

It is 2,500 miles long through some of the roughest terrain on the face of the Earth.
Right up there with the Hindu Kush and the Karakorum back door to China and places planes and helicopters cant even fly, rocky gorges and rocky mountain passes where a horse, or a g8damn donkey cant even go?
And they are telling us it is "sealed".....

So now we are being assured it is "sealed". WHO is telling us it is "sealed"? HOW STUPID DO YOU THINK WE ARE?

PURE BULLSH*T.

In your paki dreams.

#4 HOW STUPID DO YOU THINK WE ARE?

Rhetorical question, but this really is beyond belief. Not only is the terrain unforgiving and they were forewarned of the offensive, Binny is stateless, without a passport to show at a "fenced" checkpoint. This area could be carpet bombed with nukes and no one would ever know in a million years! And we keep shoveling money we don't have into this worthless pit.

#5 obviously the pakis are incapable of sealing the entire border, esp in mountainous Waziristan.

I read this as just meaning they will seal the border in the Baluchistan area, which is close to Helmand where there is now a coalition offensive. Perhaps not even all of baluchistan, but just the mainly Pashtun area near Quetta.
