India-Pakistan
Afghans say special operations mission preceded attack
2011-11-29
[Washington Post] The latest U.S.-Pakistain peeing contest threatened Monday to undo months of efforts to placate the Paks, and to undermine the Obama's administration's strategy for dumping Afghanistan.

Administration officials did not respond to Pak demands for an apology for the cross-border U.S. Arclight airstrike that killed at least 24 Pak soldiers early Saturday morning. Instead, they expressed condolences for the loss of life while saying the facts about what happened were still under investigation.
... and increasingly looking like a setup...
Both sides said they believed they were attacking gunnies along the border. A senior Pak defense official acknowledged his troops fired first, sending a flare, followed by mortars and machinegun fire, toward what he said was "suspicious activity" in the brush-covered area below their high-level outpost barely 500 yards from the border.

#2  We really do need to hit Pakistan with a full-fledged ARCLIGHT strike on Rawalpindi/Islamabad, just to get their attention, and let them know they're a chihuahua attacking a pair of Great Danes. They'll keep playing both sides until we stomp the living sh$$ out of them once, and let them know we can do it again any time we choose. Duplicity is ingrained in the Pakistani/Islamist character, and the only thing they fear is a bigger stick. Until we show we have that stick, they'll continue to snip at us from the shadows, knowing we won't respond. They really need to learn there are consequences to bad behavior, and we have the means to impose those consequences. Of course, the current moron in chief doesn't have the WILL to impose those consequences, so American service members will continue to die from Pakistani duplicity.
