Just a thought on the recent cross-border incursion into Pakistani territory met with a barrage of gunfire from Pakistani troops. It is no secret Pakistan has been less than forthcoming with intelligence as to the whereabouts of those that seek to destroy us taking refuge within Pakistani borders. However, the recent spat of gunfire helps solidify the unwillingness of the Pakistani government to support us in the war on terror.
President Bush made it very obvious to the entire world on more than one occasion, "Either you are with us, or you are with the terrorists." As fractured as the Pakistani government may or may not be, it is absolutely clear those with control of the military forces in the mountainous regions have sided with the terrorists.
The US government is done pussy-footing around waiting for Pakistani forces to actually 'help' us root out the terrorists where they hide. US Forces know where to look and the risk associated with hunting down the terrorists where they hide is no longer great enough to warrant playing the waiting game.
I find it rather peculiar that the Pakistani military has proven more than capable of discovering and engaging the greatest fighting force in the world, yet they have proven totally incapable of rooting out a few nasty terrorists. Don't you?
