#3 I was listening and when he started on about India getting more involved in Afghanistan, I believe I heard some mustaches getting really riled up somewhere.

#5 "Pakistan has much to gain from partnering with our effort in Afghanistan," Trump said. "It has much to lose by continuing to harbor criminals and terrorists."

You mean like all that money we give 'em? But, but, but...how are they supposed to fund their own terrorist operations in India?

#6 "Don't worry -- this time it'll be different!"

#7 Every time a US soldier, adviser or agent is wounded in Afghanistan a Pakistani ISI general should suffer a similar wound.

Every time a US soldier dies an ISI general should die.

If this policy is followed the war will quickly end one way or another.

#9 To start, shut off all immigrant, H1B and educational visas for Pakistan. Hit the elites. Look at eliminating trade deficit, esp wrt companies owned by the Pak military and other hostile entities.

#12 Pakistan will be Pakistan. China will expand as we leave, leaving us no illusory leverage.
