The statement further added "Pakistain has formally shared location of these terrorist camps in the areas mentioned and has requested Government of Afghanistan to deploy its forces in these areas to bring it under their effective control."

#2  ..yeah, but when the US leaves it has no use for Pakistan, even in its duplicitous form.

One thing about American firepower our opponents have learned, is to stay as close as possible to the Americans so they don't fratricide their own. [Unless Bill Carpenter is around]
