The really sad thing about this . . . is people just don't understand how dangerous things are in Pakistan. I don't know, maybe we're doing what we have to do, but it just seems to me like we had them all bottled up, and then once the drone strikes increased and the surge started, all hell started breaking loose and they started pushing down towards the population center of Afghnistan.
To me, this indicates it's all more about control of resources and pipelines that is about smokin out the Terra-ists.
