Pakistani sheltering Taliban says British officer

[KJF]

Imagine this, a British colonel in Afghanistan has accused Pakistan of helping the Taliban. The story was carried by the Guardian and you can find it here: http://www.guardian.co.uk/afghanistan/story/0,,1778443,00.html

The interesting bits are:
"A senior British officer accused Pakistan of allowing the Taliban to use its territory as a "headquarters" for attacks on western troops in Afghanistan as insurgents struck on multiple fronts yesterday."

"Colonel Chris Vernon, chief of staff for southern Afghanistan, said the Taliban leadership was coordinating its campaign from the western Pakistani city of Quetta, near the Afghan border. "The thinking piece of the Taliban is out of Quetta in Pakistan. It's the major headquarters," he told the Guardian. "They use it to run a series of networks in Afghanistan."

...

"The Afghan president, Hamid Karzai, echoed these comments by accusing Pakistan of arming the insurgents. "Pakistani intelligence gives military training to people and then sends them to Afghanistan with logistics," the Pakistan-based Afghan Islamic Press news agency quoted him as saying."

So, the ISI are helping the Taliban once again, does this mean it was a bad idea to sell them aircraft capable of delivering nuclear weapons?
