Of course the counter argument is: "We got the gorram bombs suckers. Now play nice or we use them on you."

#7 I'll bet the Kingdom has the big fear now, if the Paks can do no troops they can also say no bomb for you.

#12 UAE, Kuwait, + Qatar are all criticizing Islamabad while Oman declares its neutrality - AFAIK all that's missing is Bahrain.
