AP sources: US mulls new covert raids in Pakistan
Shh! Tell no one -- it's a secret!
U.S. military and intelligence officials are so frustrated with Pakistain's failure to stop local thug groups from attacking Americans in neighboring Afghanistan that they have considered launching secret joint U.S.-Afghan commando raids into Pakistain to hunt them down, officials told The News Agency that Dare Not be Named.

But the idea, which U.S. officials say comes up every couple of months, has been consistently rejected because the White House believes the chance of successfully rooting out the deadly Haqqani network would not be worth the intense diplomatic blowback from Pakistain that inevitably would ensue.

Members of the Haqqani tribe have been targeted by pilotless U.S. drone aircraft, but sending American and Afghan troops into Pakistain would be a serious escalation of the hunt for forces of Evil and potentially the final straw for Pakistain, already angered over what it sees as U.S. violations of its illusory sovereignty.
