Dense Pak

I caught the link at Hot Air headlines to this NYT article about the totally un-shocking news that billions of dollars in US counter-terrorism aid to Pakistan is being wasted. What brought me up short was this picture and the accompanying caption:

Pakistani troops taking up positions this month at a vantage point over the Swat Valley, where militants have fought the army.

If this is how Pakistani troops take up positions, it's no wonder the Taliban and al Qaeda are running amok in Pakistan's tribal areas.
