Pakistan's Double Game with the US

Pak's double game gets more limelight:

“When the Americans started bombing the Taliban, the Frontier Corps started shooting at the Americans,” we were told by one of Suran Dara’s villagers, who, like the others, spoke on condition of anonymity for fear of being persecuted or killed by the Pakistani government or the Taliban. “They were trying to help the Taliban. And then the American planes bombed the Pakistani post.”

The article is really worth reading - not that it's telling us anything we don't already know. But it's the details that are eye-opening. That the Americans were so slow to catch onto this obvious and predictable deceit says quite a lot.

Americans might have been " slow to catch " but don't shy away from punishing. Once wisdom dawns ,refuse to forgive.

Unlike indians the know alls who are familiar with pukis & beggardeshis deceit. But insist on piss process and biryani banquets.
