#2 It would certainly help the infiltrating terrorists if the UAVs could launch a few hellfire missiles at the Indian border security personnel

#4 WAFF > [BBC]WHY PAKISTAN [Army] WILL NOT MAKE NEW ATTACKS AGZ MILITANTS?

To wit,

* US Drone-UAV strikes has seemingly turned ambivalent PAK Locals = Tribals agz PAK Govt-Army.
* US seen as covertly desiring to EXPAND INDIA'S ROLE IN AFPAK [historically part of OLD INJUH includ BRITISH EMPIRE].
* PAK Govt-politicos in ISLAMABAD seen as GIVING IN TO US DEMANDS EVERYTIME, EVERYWHERE.

IOW, IIUC "ALL US-INDIA, ALL THE TIME"???

#5 I work with a lot of Indians (I'm in the software industry). I was talking with some of them yesterday and they predicted this. They said Pakistan would pull something like this today because this is their "Republic Day" - the day they adopted their constitution 60yrs ago. They said Pakistan does this every year. So basically it just Pakistan giving the finger and India saying "back at ya"
