#5 The tribesmen, urged on by militant Muslim clerics, took up arms and clashed with troops in the semi-autonomous region.

Go get'em, boys! We'll be... back here waiting for you. Like we always are.

#6 Quietly, the Pak army has been strongly upgrading its weaponry and tactics, so that before, when they would have gone into some of these enclaves, it would have been a "fair fight", now the army has considerably more firepower.

Both in N and S Waziristan, and in Baluchistan, this is upsetting the balance and giving the Paks the chance to assert federal authority. And once they're in, they are very hard to dislodge.

The time for autonomous tribes may be running out, and fast.
