#2 And each time they kill 10 100 1000 2000 militants, we should shake our heads and say, "nope, nope, not enough, gotta do more to release the funds, nope, nope ..."

#5 Subtract a million for every drone attack. If they were cleaning up the border, persons unknown would not have to do it with drones.

#6 This may piss them off too. StrategyPage

Much to the dismay of Pakistani transportation companies, the U.S. has begun getting supplies via Russian and Central Asian railroads. The inability of the Pakistanis to quickly deal with Taliban and bandit attacks on truck traffic crossing the Afghan border, led NATO and U.S. commanders to order setting up the other routes. So now Pakistan has lost its monopoly on this lucrative business, and many government officials are not happy about it.

Seems like the only way to get them off their asses is to hit them in the wallet.

#7 Considering the number (and high cost) of bribes that had to be handed out in order to move a shipment through Pakistan, it's probably more cost effective going through Russia and Central Asia, even if they still have to pay 'incentives'.
