#1 Clean up your A-Z of terrorist groups and we would not need to clear up your unholy mess!

#2 US Response should be: We will stop raiding you when you stop harboring terrorists and Talib. You dont like it? Say goodbye to all the US aid and arms and spare parts. They're now going to India.

#3 Smells like public bluster for the public masses. I expect the troops just to disappear from the spreadsheet, not the country.

#4 "Pakistan warns US not to stage more raids"

Hokey, we won't - until the next one.

"insisted relations between Washington and Islamabad remain on course"

So we've agreed to keep paying them?

#5 OldSpook says it: countries that don't enforce their own sovereignty -- by cleaning out those who attack others -- will find that their sovereignty isn't respected.
