File under: Govt of Pakistan

#1 Once these UAVs get stealthy enough, there won't be anymore violations of airspace, only explosions with no discernable explanation.

#2 Would they feel better if the American painted moons on the underside? If these savages won't honor borders, why the hell should we? I say never come back with any spare ammo.

#3 How about we move the border to match the airspace? Since it's obvious Islamabad doesn't control the ground underneath, it's open to an adjustment.

#4 I believe the border isn't actually fixed, Procopius. The treaty that Britain made with the locals during the Raj period was, like the one for Hong Kong, not for forever, and Pakistan inherited that. Or at least that's how I understand some of the things john frum has posted.

#5 'US drones violate Pakistan airspace'

Of COURSE they do! Just as the NVA and the Viet Cong used Laos and Cambodia as "safe havens", the talibunnies are using the NW Frontier Provinces as "safe havens". I'm just waiting for the first ARCLIGHT strike down through Miranshah or Wana, then I'll know for certain we're involved in "another Vietnam". Only this time, I hope to he$$ that Congress won't snatch our victory from us. My hopes for that are very minimal, however.

You know, it occurs to me that Afghanistan's problems won't be made better by giving them more Pashtun.

#8 US drones violate Pakistan airspace

Still, better than getting violated by a hellfire.
