As for their ammo, the bulk of it comes from Pakistan, but they undoubtedly get some from ANA that sell their ammo. One of the reasons for putting the ANA on our weapons systems is to prevent this from happening. <br /><br />Undoubtedly Pakistani Taliban are fueling the insurgency with fighters as well as weapons/ammo. <br /><br />Securing a border is pretty tough. The US can't even secure our border with Mexico despite the fact that the terrain is fairly flat and open along much of it. The Af-Pak border was artificially drawn in the middle of a large mountain range - the border is marked on maps but not even really marked on the ground.SAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12390306889469607035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6857397871588046037.post-25500487292600878762009-06-28T22:17:42.009-04:002009-06-28T22:17:42.009-04:00Where does the AAF get most of its ammunition?

Are some of the Afghans correct when they place blame on Pakistan, in that the eastern Pakistani Taliban elements are at least fueling the AAF with weapons and ammo?<br /><br />I am sure there are people working on this, but do you believe there is a means to choke off this supply?<br /><br />Later, and stay safe.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6857397871588046037.post-35874844630059844302009-06-23T15:39:44.389-04:002009-06-23T15:39:44.389-04:00Yo buddy,
