#1 $20 on Door #2 huh, Fred? Prescient or realist? The dreaded Paki juggernaut hits a speedbump and goes in reverse. Music to Indian ears

#3 I'd be more critical of the Pakistani effort myself, but I'm not sure they've ever done anything like this before; I doubt any of their experience in Kashmir has prepared them for being on the receiving end, in an area where they don't have the logistical support to back them up. I would expect that if they performed a similar operation in a week or two in Baluchistan, they'll probably wind up with US planes dropping supplies to their troops.
