#1 Pakistan again qualifying itself as no more sophisticated than a donkeys farting anus.

#2 Has it occurred to anyone but me that Pakistain is now what Afghanistan was in 2001?

#3 Except that Pakistan is our "ally" and Afghanistan was some backwater that most everybody had forgotten about. Perhaps with the reset button hit, Hilary can get the Ruskies to invade Pakistan no. Sort of an Afghanistan in reverse.

#4 actually strange as it seems ... there might be some merit in Russian/USA cooperation in the area. Squeeze the Taliban/Al Qaeda radical Islamists from both sides. A pincer move as it were.
As long as the Russian can be persuaded not to commit atrocities against the civilians like they did before, maybe just maybe mutual cooperation might be the key.
Certainly Russia has much more to lose if hostilities in Afghanistan/ and Pakistan keep spreading.

#5 Am I imagining things, or does Pakistan seem to be antagonizing everyone else on the planet?

I'd think they'd want to prioritize their enemies list.

LOL! I kind of wonder if they are even aware of it.
