#2 It's the combination of Paks and Saoodis that is most dangerous. They created most of the current mess and could both end up reaping the whirlwind (with the rest of us receiving the fallout, literally as well as figuratively).

#3 all the evidence I see shows continued steady pressure by Pakland on the jihadis, including finally on the native groups as well the foreigners. Now as Paul and Dan have made clear its VERY complicated, and there are always groups have relatively clean hands, even if largely fronts for others, and that still have relations with parts of the Paki govt. But meanwhile the Pakis are killing or catching jihadis, and busting up apparently major AQ plots. Theyre doing a helluva lot more on this than KSA, not to mention Iran. I dont entirely trust Indian sources on this, and would remind all that AQ Khans heroic status in Pakland is in part a response to Indias nukes.
