This is a news story on the BBC abouth Karzais Older brother met with Ex Taleban in Saudi Arabia for a meal with King Abdullah:
Makes me wonder what new plot may have been hatched by these men for better or worse and how it will inevitably affect Pakistans future.
I think Pakistan has the tools to do its job at the moment in terms of small arms but I think they need much more for the COIN operations in FATA and now even the cities.
For the Pakistan Army I'd prefer that chinese automatic grenade Launcher you mentioned in anothe thread.
I'm all for Lashkars rising up against militants but surely in the long run its dangerous to have such well armed civilians on the loose.
What if they like the Taliban bite the hand that feeds them?
