#2 "We are taking the best gear, the best technology on the market to date and giving it to guys known to stab us in the back," Sgt. Meyer wrote to Mr. McCreight, according to the lawsuit. "These are the same people killing our guys."

Sounds to me like MOH recipient Sgt. Meyer got it right.

#3 The Pakis would never use those sights as intended. Nor are they using those F-16 optics we sold them a few years back against the Taliban, either, I'll bet. They'll end up in Chinese and Iranian hands if anything.

#4 I have been saying for years that we need to treat the ISI for what it is: our mortal enemy in that region. If the Government of Pakistan wants to keep playing beard for the ISI then it too should be treated as an enemy, at least tacitly. No more aid, no more humanitarian help. We should be supporting India.

#5 The bad guys have patrons in every precinct of the US government. In the old days those allies were that way because of bribes. Now some of 'em are just warped idealogues...
