#2 56 people dead, most of them girl students aged 10-15; and hundreds of girls severely wounded. The explosion was planned to hit the children as they were coming out of school, running cheerfully home or into the arms of their parents.

#5 #3 We're all paying for some fucker's idea that Pakistain can be some kind of American asset in Asia, for nourishing it with aid and influence.

It is Pakistain that supplies all explosives and technical know-how for IED assembly to the Taliban. Every bomb that killed NATO troops or civilians and even these girls, every ounce of ammonium nitrate used in these things... all Pakistain. Complicit with Laden in 9/11, protected him till they couldn't without losing sugar daddy number 1. Hosts the entire Shura council and their extended families and successors in Quetta. All Pakistain.

And instead of a goddamn nuke, they get a billion dollars in aid. For what? 'Fighting terrorism'.

#6 He spoke perfect English, that Paki Major in AFG. Wanted to know how long I'd been there and what my job was. He was curious about me being there in MUFTI. He smiled, I smiled... everyone smiled and admitted little. Believe me when I tell you the Paki's are the problem in AFG, but you knew that already.
