If there is any truth to this story that Pakistani nexus of military/ISI is training the ISIS and providing them all sorts of light and heavy equipment to fight the so-called infidels - Afghan forces - one wonders if this action is counter productive to eradicating the existence of ISIS.  One thing is sure that there is a lot of confusion and contradiction in this effort.  Is it not that this nexus is helping the ISIS to flex its muscles in more territories around that part of the world?  Also, Pakistan is surviving on the cash flow from Saudis, and to help flourish ISIS is not in the interest of Saudis.  So, the question is if Saudis are going to plug the cash flow channel to Pakistan.  Secondly, the USA is trying, along with the help of other nations, to eradicate ISIS from the face of this earth.  Then, is it not the latest announcement from the White House to award Pakistan with 8 F16 counter productive and contradictory to their basic philosophy of eradicating ISIS?  Thirdly, I do not think Pakistan needs F16 to fight against the Talibans in Pakistan.  Talibans are not equipped with that kind of arsenal where Pakistani forces need to use F16.  They are trying to get F16 to use against India.  Therefore the whole idea of arming Pakistan with F16 is baseless and counter productive to a strategic relationship between India and the USA.  In my opinion, the legislative branch ought to decline this request emanating from the White House, and Saudis should also give a second thought to help Pakistan financially in the future.
