Not directly, but Petraeus insisted on face-to-face meetings between all of our theater commanders, Mullen, Odierno, etc. and the Paki Prime Minister, Zardari, and COAS Kiyani on our aircraft carriers, several times over the last two weeks.
Not a coincidence that our previous hot pursuit by air attack only up to 10 km. inland has expanded to air insertion/ground attack.
