Yeah, well, if you believe they’re not, that those heavily armed militants drift across the border, attack at will, then dash back to the safety of the Pakistani wilderness and Pakistan has no clue, no whiff of intelligence about who they are and where they are, then you’re either willfully ignorant or you work for the mainstream media.

There is no way in heaven or hell that Pakistan isn’t aware of the militant’s activity on their border. Just this weekend hundreds crossed over and attacked a forward NATO base near the border, killing 9 American troops and wounding 15. Those are the numbers so far and may well rise as more information, which is still sketchy, comes in.

The militants paid a heavy price. Again, early numbers say they have over 40 dead and an unknown number of wounded.

We give Pakistan billions in aid each year and what we get in return is their back room deals with the radicals that allows the free movement back and forth across the border into Afghanistan of hundreds of fighters, and payoffs of the radical leaders to leave them alone. The most ironic part is - they’re probably using our money to pay off those people. And this is the result.

We should cut off every penny of that aid unless they start doing what they’re supposed to do, and that is to block or intercept those radicals on their soil, stop giving them the safe haven they now enjoy just across their border, and live up to the term, “ally” that is so freely used by the Bush Administration.

Not…one…more…dime.

Let them wallow in the problem they’ve created for themselves with their backstabbing and politically expedient dealings with the Islamists.

So, back to my original question: Are they complicit?

Damn right they are, and not just by default, either. And if our government can’t see that, then they just may be as stupid as the media would have had us believe they were all this time.
