The playing field has changed, :hmmm:

It is "highly likely" that Nato aircraft were behind a deadly overnight raid on a Pakistani border checkpoint, a Nato spokesman has told the BBC.Brigadier-General Carsten Jacobson said Nato was investigating how the incident occurred and sent condolences.

Pakistani officials have responded with fury to the incident, which they say killed at least 24 soldiers.

Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani called it "outrageous" and convened an emergency meeting of the cabinet.

Pakistan's government promptly closed supply routes across its territory to Nato in Afghanistan. There are reports of some trucks on the main routes being told to turn back.

If my pea brain serves me right, it would't be the first time the packies have fired on nato choppers and troops, so if they want too play both sides of the fence I guess they asked for it, it's a little hypocridical for them to fire into Afganistan, and not expect something lobbed back at them. As far as I'm concerned the Packies are part of the problem, I wonder how many supply trucks are waiting in that long line at the border that's going to the Taiban ?????

Need more info to know how it all unfolded, but I'd assume if the Pakistani checkpoint
would've opened fire first, it would have been mentioned by NATO.

Probably just a bad case of misidentifying the target. :hmmm:

Any cessation of co-operation and or facilities should be met by immediate withdrawal of funding.

I don't trust Pakistan...they even cheat at cricket.
