 Leon Panetta seems to be getting fed up with the Pakistanis and their antics when it comes to getting their assistance in fighting terrorists that cross back and forth over the border with Afghanistan to do their dirty work. He’s certainly a better man than I am because I have been saying for quite a while [...]

  NATO has concluded agreements with Central Asian nations allowing it to evacuate vehicles and other military equipment from Afghanistan and completely bypass Pakistan, which once provided the main supply route for coalition forces. Secretary-General Anders Fogh Rasmussen said Monday that Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan had agreed to allow the reverse transport of alliance equipment. [...]

 Al-Qaeda is in decline around the world but is still a leading threat to the United States. They are getting a lot of help by some other countries but never the less the United States has used intelligence and technology to really put a damper on their operations worldwide. I believe that the war in [...]

 Pakistan’s army on Monday formally rejected a U.S. claim that American airstrikes that killed 24 Pakistani troops last year were justified as self-defense. In a detailed report, the army said that Pakistani troops did not trigger the Nov. 26 incident at two posts along the Afghan border by firing at American and Afghan forces, as [...]

   A top level Chinese defense official has recently visited Pakistan and has been cheesing it up with them in order to establish a closer military relationship.

    There has been another attack on a CIA building in Afghanistan. We don’t know exactly where the building was or what it’s function was. The only thing that I can tell you is that it was a CIA building. The Afghan in question was an employee there which in itself raises some very interesting [...]

    This situation is sort of a reversal of roles between the US and Pakistan. In this situation militants are attacking into Pakistan from Afghanistan giving the Pakistanis headaches. This is a reversal of roles since the action normally goes the other way. The problem is coming from an area that the US controlled at [...]

    The US has killed the number two al-Qaeda operative in Pakistan. There is no way that the Pakistanis didn’t know that he was there if you ask me. There have been too many top level terrorists killed there for them to not know. The death has been confirmed by the Pakistanis so we know that [...]

   The US government has a strong belief that the Pakistanis allowed the Chinese to view the remains of the stealth helicopter used in the bin Laden raid. If you remember the raid you will remember that one of the top secret stealth helicopters crash landed in the courtyard of the bin Laden compound and [...]
