My critical and hostile attitude towards Pakistan is known. I repeatedly referred to Pakistan's role in founding and supporting the Taleban since the 80s, and the links between major parts fo their military and intel community with the Taleban. Pakistan not really fights the Taleban - it sympathizes with them, they are it's own creation (created with help of the CIA during the soviet occupation).

However, it seems that Washington pays huge sums to Pakistan in order to get their support and stabilize Musharaf - ignoring that God knows how much of that money I have no doubt is funneled to the Taleban directly, and Musharaf playing a double game.

That politicians even reject recommendations of their own military leaders in Afghanistan, to make it a condition that money must be earned by the Pakistani by their military contributions and successes, just shows how very, very stupid the leaders are acting in Washington, and how very, very much off reality they are. They are hoping for the best, and that is all. If I again may use AL's signature: but "hope is not a strategy".

The level of stupidity in paying 5 billions to Pakistan, or better: to our enemy, deserves only this: scornful laughter, loud and resounding.

Europeans obviously are not the only ones who ignore and well-intend themselves to death.

With regard to the fact that Pakistan does not plan to get nukes, but already has them, I have some worrying and uncomfortable conclusions on my mind, but I keep them for myself, since nobody here would like them anyway and would only trigger the volume going up. If you are smart you can imagine yourself why it is a mistake to waste ressources on and on in Iraq, and concerning nukes to focus on Iran exclusively. There are more serious worries with regard to Afghanistan and Pakistan (and India as well).

"Trapped in the Afghan maze".
