#9  ZF, you may have a point but if Pakistan can't handle the Pashtun, Taliban and AQ I suspect they won't be eager to fight the Afghan Army on their own ground if there are some focused incursions.

#8  Karzai sovereignty rests in his shoes.

#7  Karzai is in "the mouse that roared" category. Pakistan has China feeding it weaponry and a coastline. Afghanistan has the US feeding it via Pakistani land routes and no coastline. Pakistan has a population of 165m. Afghanistan has maybe 32m. Pakistan doesn't get most of its budget via international aid. Afghanistan does. Brave talk from the Mayor of Kabul.

#3  Well, the "peace deal' pakistain made with the taliban in the tribsl regions is a sort of backhanded "you're on your own." Mainstream pakistan will always be more fixated on the border with India and will mainly squawk when the Afghan border heats up...

#2  Somewhere in the near future, I see a #8 can whoop-ass being opened up on the Talibunnies! I wonder how they will like having the the Coalition trained Afghan Army coming for their blood?

#1  Since the Durand line treaty between Afghanistan and the British Raj has actually expired, he would be sending troops into what Afghans consider their own territory, not across a valid border.
