#1 The military is gun shy because the terrorists are their own action arm.

#2 I sympathise with Pakistan, it must be tough to run a country full of well-armed medieval idiots.

They tried the Saudi plan of sending the craziest off to fight Holy wars and die (thus making the host country look Holier in the process) but they picked areas that are far to close to Pakistan. Much better ot have sent their Jihadi to the Philipines or Sudan or something rather than Kashmir/India/Afghanistan where it is easy to get back to the homeland with a head full of crazy ideas and enough skill to do damage.

#3 The military is gun shy because they don't want to shoot all their friends and relatives.

#4 A very bad but very convincing analysis.

I think it is going to go down this time: Nuclear combat toe-to-toe with the Hajis.
