| I saw the news about the taliban pulling back but then all of a sudden i hear breaking news of a military operation just now. So now they've got time to get out of the way and the Mighty Pak Army can do its strut and nobody gets hurt. Do they have drums? The Mighty Pak Army can't move without lashkar drums ... |

| #5 Likely as not this will be a photo op event with troops and tanks going in, blowing some stuff up, making a few arrests and then declaring victory and leaving. |

| #4 Maybe somebody told 'em they could end up getting nuked if they don't get a handle on the situation. But the question remains, Is the "real" Pak army gonna fight? Wouldn't be surprised if it takes them a few days to redeploy from the Indian border. Gosh, does anybody think India would take advantage? |

| #3 Kabuki on a national scale. How charming. What, did we tell them that if they're gonna surrender anyway there's no point in our giving them gobs of money? |
