Taliban spreads grip in Pakistan

Karachi, Pakistan’s largest city and hundreds of miles away from Afghanistan, on the Indian Ocean, is coming more and more under the Taliban grip.

I’ve said it before — it’s stupid to commit a bunch of additional American troops to Afghanistan with the current situation in Pakistan.

Things are NOT going to change for the significant better in the near term, and by near term, I mean, within the next five years, minimum.
