You Don't Want to Discuss What We Regret

The Pakistani government remains clueless that they need to awaken to the threat of jihadis to their future and join with us to combat the jihadi threat that spans the Afghan-Pakistani border.

Musharaff appears more upset about the possiblity that US forces will kill jihadis in Pakistan than he is about jihadis running rampant in side his country:

The New York Times reported last week that Washington was considering expanding the authority of the CIA and the U.S. military to launch aggressive covert operations within the tribal regions. Several U.S. presidential candidates have also hinted they would support unilateral action in the area.

Musharraf told The Straits Times U.S. troops would "certainly" be considered invaders if they set foot in the tribal regions.

"If they come without our permission, that's against the sovereignty of Pakistan. I challenge anybody coming into our mountains. They would regret that day," he said in the interview.


Come on, cut that Gordian Knot. If Pakistan won't come to its collective senses, we need to make that country irrelevant.
