#1 They are just about as upset as when the US offed Osama. I wonder if it is for similar reasons?

#3 The other report posted on Rantburg said that (a) the Americans took fire from the Pak position (b) the Pakistani said they had no troops in the area.

My guess is someone knows it is easier to ride the anti-American bandwagon than confront the folk in Pakistan with their screw up.

#4 A lot of us would like the field engagement reduced to an air war with broad targeting. Less forces; more lethal power; zero nation-building.

#5 DAILY TIMES.PK > US MUST APOLOGIZE IFF PAKISTAN STRIKE IN ERROR: SENATOR [Diane Feinstein].

Also from SAME > PAKISTAN BASE [Shamsi AB] NOT CRUCUAL FOR US DRONE STRIKES.

* SAME > PAKISTAN EXPECTED [anticipated]MOHMAND-STYLE ATTACK, post-Abbottabad + given well-reported US desires to make increasing use of CIA + SpecFors assets as it begins to downsize its overall military presence. HOWEVER, PAKISTAN EXPECTED SUCH AN ATTACK TO OCCUR AT LEAST SIX MONTHS [or more] FROM NOW.

HHMMMM, HMMMM, so IIUC, the post-Osama Pak Govt. was expecting or anticipating an eventual future armed or violent clash/confrontation between US, NATO? + PAK Army military elements???

IS IT JUST ME, OR IS PAKISTAN ROUNDABOUTLY = PDENIABLY ADMITTING THAT IT DID + WAS PROTECTING OSAMA AT ABBOTTABAD, ANDOR SPONSORS REGIONAL TERROR, INCLUDING TERROR WIDIN ITS OWN BORDERS???
