Rest in Peace
pakistan won't be having the inteligence , militry and moneywise support from US to fight these terrorists , and the situation can only deteriate more..
most of the critical intel has been coming from Pakistan, given our experiences in the region....that's why its them who need us more than us ''needing them'' as far as the GWOT is concerned
yes we wont be re-compensed (thus far, the money they give doesnt cover the material or other costs involved and never has) --but so be it. Pakistan survived a decade of sanctions just fine. So that itself is assurance that we dont need anything from anyone to survive and continue the fight on our own.
his point was that we didnt have this massive destablization until NATO invaded Afghanistan...perhaps the immediate effects were not felt, but over a decade later they are felt more and more ---and not just because of the several million Afghan refugees who have flooded (unchecked) into Pakistan
countries like Iran were a lot more smart about it
