'Foreign troops won't be allowed to operate in Pakistan'
2008-04-22
Foreign forces will never be allowed to operate in Pakistan and the country will fight terrorism with a broad-based strategy, Aaj TV reported President Pervez Musharraf as saying on Monday. He was talking to British Foreign Secretary David Miliband at the Presidential Camp Office. Citing unidentified sources, the channel said Musharraf told Miliband that the war on terror was in PakistanÂ’s interest. Miliband said talks with militants who laid down arms would help calm down terrorism. Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gillani told Miliband in a meeting that Pakistan would improve the socio-economic conditions in FATA and bring madrassa reforms to counter extremism.

Fine, we'll just do away with "pakistan" and operate in southern Afghanistan or Western India. Not a problem.

#6  These mooks can't stop a bunch of ignorant goat-herders from raising hell, but they can stop the US Army from operating.

Right. Gotcha.

#5  In the article immediately above it, PM Gillani left open the door for United States military involvement in Pakistani borders "when invited". Different from Mushy, who's currying favor by appealing to nationalism and saying "never".
