#3 just another "I'd love to be pro-America and whack them talibunnies, but if I did more, I might be replaced by someone who wouldn't whack the talibunnies, so you really need me, bad as I am" bullshit argument

#5 Dear Sir,

One mispelling, one missing dash, one grammatical error, either one fragmented sentence or an error of tense, and three absent-from-combat exclamation points.

Unfortunately, not one of your best days. It certainly does detract from your zealous commentary.

Your Ob'd Servant,

Snark

#6 OTOH WAFF > A [Pak]BREACH WITH THE US MAY GO IN FAVOR OF AL-QAEDA'S PLAN TO INSPIRE A "NUCLEAR THEOCRACY" IN PAKISTAN.

ARTIC = PAK COAS KAYANI = labeled as the real, but unofficial/unwritten "CHIEF EXECUTIVE" OF PAKISTAN whom is facing serious anti-US internal mil pressures vee pro-Islamist "REVOLT OF THE COLONELS".

Although considered a patriot, Gen. Kayani fears US + Internat response iff the PAK Govt-Army prove unable or unwilling to rein in violent MilTerr Groups widn their country.

Lest we fergit, PAKISTAN ASPIRES TO BE A WORLD + ISLAMIC "GREAT POWER/STATE" IN IN ITS OWN RIGHT, PAR IFF NOT SUPERIOR TO ANY IN THE MUSLIM ANDOR ON-MUSLIM WORLD.

* Also from WAFF > [Pakistan = StrategyPage] AN ARMY [State] WID A NATION.

IOW, the PAK Civilian Govt. + Pak Peoples are "Camp Followers", non-Uniformed Employees? etc. to the Pak Army.
