*sigh*

I'd trust Pakistan as far as I'd throw them. Not something I would do.

India should be concerned.

We are trying to buy Pakistan's support in Afghanistan, when we should not, "buy" it at all.

It should be self-evident to Pakistan's ruler that to oppose the Taliban-style extremists, even in his own country, is in his own interests, because if he doesn't, they will destroy him and any semblence of civility that is left in Pakistan.

There are no navies in the world that Pakistan has any real military threat from, other than from India from whom no threat will arise other than in response to a provocation from Pakistan.

Maybe Pakistan's ruler is in on a cut of the deal with the defense contractor.

No kidding. WTF has Pakiland done for us? They are helping Iran with missile technology and doing next to nothing about Taliban and AQ on the Afghanistan border. Meanwhile, India is an important commercial partner and at least has some type of democracy.

selling weapons to Pakistan is like selling weapons to the Hezbollah -- it ends up there in any case.
