Bad move. Reminiscent of US training of Afghan troops to fight against the Soviets. Granted the corruption of the Pakistani government and military, this does not bode well for the future. Given several evidence of Pakistani military involvement with Taliban and Al Queda forces, a strengthening of the military without FIRST securing a stable government cannot possibly be a rational foreign policy move on part of the Bush Administration...this is discomforting to say the least.
Quoted: A plan would send about 100 American trainers to work with a Pakistani paramilitary force that is the vanguard in the fight against Al Qaeda.
