Report: Pakistanis Flew Helicopter Missions Into Afghanistan to Resupply the Taliban and al-Qaeda During Major Battle With US Forces.....

In response, the US military is planning to conduct bombing raids on Pakistani military installations. (Hey, I can dream, can't I?).....

Pakistani military forces flew repeated helicopter missions into Afghanistan to resupply the Taliban during a fierce battle in June 2007, according to a U.S. Marine lieutenant colonel, who says his information is based on multiple U.S. and Afghan intelligence reports.

The revelation by Lt. Col. Chris Nash, who commanded an embedded training team in eastern Afghanistan from June 2007 to March 2008, adds a new twist to the controversy over a U.S. special operations raid into Pakistan Sept. 3.

Pakistani officials strongly protested that raid, with a statement issued by the foreign ministry calling it a "gross violation of Pakistan's territory."

But fewer than 15 months earlier, Pakistani forces were flying cross-border missions in the other direction to resupply a "base camp" in Nangarhar Province occupied by fighters from the Taliban, al-Qaida and the Hezb-i-Islami faction led by Afghan warlord Gulbuddin Hekmatyar, Nash told Army Times in a Sept. 17 telephone interview.

What the FUCK? Really? Helicopters most likely bought with our military aid money no doubt. We gotta be a little smarter with our money I think. It is just soooo hard to find a good Muslim ally these days isn't it. Sometimes I feel like a few good civil wars in these countries wouldn't be the worst thing. Might even distract them from killing Westerners.
