A Little Reverse Border Crossing Going on Between Pakistan's Wild Wild West & Afghanistan - Duh!
"Pakistani officials have cited the toll as evidence that Pakistan has paid a heavier price fighting the militants than either American or Afghan troops. The claim has political resonance in Pakistan when the Bush administration and American commanders have demanded that Pakistan do more to crack down in the tribal agencies."
OK, I've got the "eye roll" going big time over that comment. Whose bright idea was it to give the Tribal lands AND to do so with the agreement that the Pakistani government wouldn't rule over it or the people living there? The USA? Nope! Whose leaders have continued throughout the years to KNOWINGLY allow the Tribal region to harbour, train and basically encourage those lands to be utilitzed by the Taliban, Al Qaeda and any other militant group that could muscle its way in? The USA? Nope! Oh anyway....read the entire article here. Oh, and by the way, which country has the MOST troops in Kunar Province? Yep, the USA. So now as if our military doesn't have enough to do I'm sure they'll be chastized and blamed for any human rights issues that occur due to the influx of Pakistani Refugees attempting to run from the bad guys into an area with little infrastructure or ability to handle those who already live there. Will it never end?
