#5 The ISI and Taliban are "laughing" as well.

The cold, hard facts are, Pakistani Frontier Corps personnel at that border outpost (or other personnel at the outpost) fired on ISAF aircraft. The aircraft returned fire. The incident was thoroughly investigated by ISAF authorities. No fault was found on the part of the ISAF pilots.

#6 What twists and wrenches my gut is those US Taxpayer dollars, (my tax dollars as well) at least some portion of the $1.1 Billion, will undoubtedly end up aiding and abetting Taliban insurgents and killing our young soldiers, and other ISAF soldiers.

Isn't a decade of aiding and abetting Bin Laden enough proof of Pakistani complicity? How much message traffic and open source data must one read related to the intentions of the Quetta Shura and the training madrassas of Chaman to link nefarious activity to the government of Pakistan? All Taliban infiltration routes along the Durand Line lead into Pakistan.

While I prefer the Roman method, If we must pay our way out of Afghanistan, so be it. But get the young people out safely first, then pay the worthless bastards if you must.

#9 ...you have to wonder, how much will find its way back through, you know, untraceable credit card donations.
