Well, if it involves us going after someone big in Pakistan, there's no doubt at all that we have permission. First, we dropped that tidbit to the press early this week about "hot pursuit" into Pakistan. We would never have even done that without Musharraf's blessing. It was done as much for Pakistani public consumption as anything.

We would never unilaterally use troops in Pakistan unless we felt Musharraf had turned against us, and he hasn't. But, there's little doubt that trouble could be expected in Pakistan if we did do that even with Musharraf's explicit permission. This is going to be very interesting to watch.

That would mean bombing Pakistani territory....bombing pashtun pakistani territory. Bombers,apache gunships etc etc.
