Now we know why Cameron Munter left.

Re: Now we know why Cameron Munter left.

the terrorists have to first leave Pakistan to be then blocked in Afghanistan. Why wouldn’t you expect Pakistan to block them in Pakistan, at the source? One would expect Pakistan, being the local authority will have lot of more ability to control its own borders than a visiting force such as the NATO can in Afghanistan. The killing of innocent civilians is squarely because Pakistani establishment played double games which made drones and such long duration necessary!

OBL is dead in spite of Pakistani establishment because the raid was kept secret from them. Is that zilch result?

I don’t know the specific reasons and can only guess - that the Americans just don’t have sufficient resources to cover the entire region and Pakistan is not helping matters any! I see it as something like this:

I have $10 to spend.
If I spend all $10 in buying normal rifles, when I use them, I will have the impact of using $10 worth
If I spend $6 in normal rifles and $4 in rifles that shoot backwards, then the maximum impact I can expect is not just $6 worth of progress but also $4 worth of negative & regressive effect.
That’s what happened here. Americans spent money on Pakistani establishment who used it to fire at Americans themselves, theoretically and literally!
