You're absolutely right...there is just overwhelming evidence that Pakistan supports terrorism as a matter of policy. Guess politics and war make strange bedfellows, and as Americans we may not have much of a choice right now but use Pak's help, but we need to be careful about the future of our foreign policy: remember we in essence created Saddam Hussein and Osama Bin Laden with our prior military training and support. Just wish, as the only Superpower in the world, we could mount a massive assault that would take care of this problem once and for all, but of course that is just wishful thinking. Here's an article to ponder: Pak army, air force and ISI units still in Afghanistan: Reports PTI New Delhi, September 19 Despite Pakistan's offer of support to the US in fight against terrorism, units of its army, air force, special security group (SSG), parachute regiment, commandos and the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) are stationed in Afghanistan till date as a support base for the Taliban, according to reports received in New Delhi. Besides officials and personnel of these units, hundreds of militants belonging to several outfits like Sipah-e-Sahaba, Harkatul Mujahideen and Jaish-e-Mohammad, which are based, trained and equipped by Pakistan, are still positioned in Afghanistan and have been fighting alongside the Taliban, the reports said. These reports, along with other information, have been provided by Indian intelligence agencies to their US counterparts as part of the understanding between the two countries at the joint working group on Counter-Terrorism, informed sources said. Quoting reports, they said while a Pakistan army sub-unit from Peshawar was stationed in Kabul, the first battalion of SSG from Cherat Headquarters has been redeployed in Afghanistan. A Pakistani parachute regiment was located at the barracks of the 11th Nangarhar Division of Taliban, Pakistani commando sub-units were stationed in the building of the Artillery Headquarters in Nangarhar where 110 Division was earlier located, the reports said.
