Bob,
Ok, where does that get us in terms of the sanctuary in Pakistan and our AfPak strategy?Well, to take this cancer line a bit further, allow me to offer a slightly different take.
David,
I pretty much agree with your comment. Well said.I was slightly anxious when I started this thread, partly as for reasons lost to me SWC has of late refrained from a debate on AFPAK and so far - apart from a couple of posts all is well - we have stayed on the main subject.
Slap,
The Soviets tried that. Not only did they heavily mine the border, but they also made it a kill zone - anyone in the border area could be killed on sight. Even if our ROE allowed the use of such methods, they probably wouldn't work and would end up killing a lot more civilians than fighters.You could put up an Alligator fence as in mine the border between A'stan and Pak'stan.
