A MODEST PROPOSAL

Having decisively broken our ties with Saudi Arabia for no operational or diplomatic reason, we should really consider our ties with our very worst friend in the region, Pakistan. Pakistan created, funded and supported the Taliban from the very beginning and still owns it. The Taliban's foreign minister, Sharif, is negotiating the withdrawal of American forces from Afghanistan through Pakistan since Afghanistan is a landlocked country and there are very few options for taking home all the weapons and other equipment we brought to fight the Taliban and prop up Taliban Interior Minister Karzi. Sharif expects another couple of billion dollars from the US to maintain the bff fiction and expand the Taliban and Pakistan's nuclear weapon stockpile for the real enemies of Pakistan.

I have a modest proposal.

Why don't we sell all of our remaining ground weapons and equipment to India and tell them it's their's FOB Kabul for a single rupee. Let them worry about getting it back to India.

India has been invaded from the north many times in the past. Now Indians can do it too! I'm sure our very good friends Pakistan and India can work out an arrangement for allowing friends to do a little drive through.

I think you are touching once again on the oh so very thin veneer of civilization.

Oh I can't help it. I always hear in the dim recesses of my mind the line, "Think of what fun you'll have!"

Modesty forbids me basking but well, basking anyway.
