This is getting even more interesting.:  Last week, I reported that Hillary promised more aid to Pakistan to the tune of $500 million, totaling about $1.5 billion of taxpayer money, and the next day she accused someone in the Pakistani government of knowing where Bin Ladin is.:  Terrific, right.:  Well, it gets better.

Now, the NYT: (hat tip HotAir headlines) is reporting that Pakistan is helping the Taliban insurgency:

Americans fighting the war in Afghanistan have long harbored strong suspicions that Pakistan’s military spy service has guided the Afghan insurgency with a hidden hand, even as Pakistan receives more than $1 billion a year from Washington for its help combating the militants, according to a trove of secret military field reports made public Sunday.

The documents, made available by an organization called WikiLeaks, suggest that Pakistan, an ostensible ally of the United States, allows representatives of its spy service to meet directly with the Taliban in secret strategy sessions to organize networks of militant groups that fight against American soldiers in Afghanistan, and even hatch plots to assassinate Afghan leaders.

Now what, Hillary?: 

And just a word to the wise, if you are thinking about running for president, I would refrain from using your experience as secretary of state during the campaign.
