The Pakistani Army has been given orders to retaliate against any
unilateral strike by the Afghanistan-based US troops inside the
country.

How?

Hot pursuit into Afghanistan? I wonder how much of this is for
public consumption. The Pakistanis can't very well admit they're
allowing the US to invade their contry.

Why not?

They've admitted that the locals up in the hills gave their army a bloody
nose last year...

The election confirmed the secular authorities in power (for a given value
of 'secular' here) and so more or less ratified some sort of campaign
against the religious maniacs and also more or less sanctioned working with
the USA.

The major problem in Pakistan is the army, and especially the ISI, who
seem to be essentially independent of the civil power and in a position to
do what they want, up top and including to taking over the government
again.

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe.
Barbeques on fire by the chalets past the castle headland
I watched the gift shops glitter in the darkness off the Newborough gate
All these moments will be lost in time, like icecream on the beach
Time for tea.
