Reason 902 not to send more troops to Afghanistan

Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence was the mastermind behind the July 7 bombing of India’s embassy in Kabul, Afghanistan.

It’s criminal, and for you, Obama, per a 2002 speech, a stupid war to send more troops into A-stan under such conditions, unless you’re prepared to do a Ted Rall and invade Pakistan.

In addition, the story makes clear that Pakistan’s new government (and probably Musharraf before that) has/had little control over ISI, especially vis-à-vis its al Qaeda and Taliban links.
