#1 One can only wish the WORST for the ISI creeps.

#2 So you did that bombing the Indian EMbassy, and the supporting the Talib crap in Afghanistan ON PURPOSE?

OK fine, you've basically declared war. We will erase you.

#4 I could expand Operation Lemony Snickett to the Paks. They could have a whole series of unfortunate incidents. Hell, given the Paks no one would be able to say that it wasn't just the usual state of affairs.

#5 Gul has expressed admiration for bin Laden, and has never ceased support for the Taleban. A moral arbiter for all ages.

#6 He has expressed admiration for bin Laden and praises Taleban at every opportunity. What an asset!

#7 Work is needed on the ISI leadership. A few choice targets

Problem is that it rotates.

Take the current ISI chief - Lt. Gen. Nadeem Taj
He is basically an infantryman (commissioned into the Punjab regiment).

He has been

Military Secretary to the President
DGMI (Military Intelligence)
Commander, 11th Infantry Division (Lahore)
Commandant, Pakistan Military Academy

and is now
DG Inter-Services Intelligence

The previous ISI chief, General Kayani is now running the entire Pak military.

That mid level 'leadership' is back at their artillery, infantry, armor units etc.

#8 wet work will solve that rotation problem.

#9 thats a very serious allegation, that the ISI is not rogue at all. Of course its complicated if, like me, you dont see the oligarchy as quite homogeneous - if you see the PPP leadership as different from both PML-N and PML-Q and the military. Im not even sure that Nawaz is quite as enthusiastic about the Taliban as Gul is.

#10 Were the ISI rogue, President Musharref would have been dead long since, not to mention the current civilian leadership.
