#1 You'd think 80,000 soldiers could put a dent in the problem ...
They could Doc, if they were on our side.

#2 I dunno, take 80,000; adjust downward for the inefficiency of Paki troops (and i assume they put their best opposite the Hindoos in Kashmir) and what have ya got? A force thats probably weaker than the 15,000 or so coalition forces + 30,000 afghan national army forces on the other side of the border, facing what is probably a stronger Taliban/AQ force, with more intense local support.
