U.S. officials acknowledge the Taliban has grown in "strength and influence" in recent weeks. What they don't acknowledge, at least not publicly, is that our "ally" Pakistan is feeding the insurgency.

It's now an open secret that Pakistan is trying to destabilize the pro-U.S. government we helped set up in Afghanistan after 9-11. Pakistan's military, which views Kabul's warmer relations with India as a threat, is supporting Taliban attacks on Afghan and coalition forces.

The attacks are being staged from the northern Pakistani city of Quetta — the Taliban's new "headquarters" — where Pakistani officials are accused of recruiting, training and arming Taliban fighters.

There is evidence that Pakistan has supplied them with detonators for the improvised explosive devices used to blow up convoys, and batteries for shoulder-fired Stinger missiles used to shoot down aircraft.
