#2 Is this the same Pakistan who's Frontier Guards have repeatedly fired on US Forces?

Is this the same Pakistan who closed cross-border ISAF supply routes?

Is this the same Pakistan who's intelligence service continues to train suicide and IED bombers in Chaman and Quetta Madrasses?

Is this the same Pakistan that provides food, shelter, and military transport for Taliban fighters?

#8 Yes, to all of your questions, Besoeker. But you missed a few. It's also the same Pakistan that harbored Osama bin Laden. It's also the same Pakistan the continues to harbor Mullah Omar and Ayman al Zawahiri.
