ISLAMABAD, Pakistan — Pakistan's military has ordered its forces to open fire if American troops launch another air or ground raid across the Afghan border, an army spokesman said today.

The orders, which come in response to a highly unusual Sept. 3 ground attack by American commandos, are certain to heighten tension between Washington and a key ally against terrorism.

Why do I feel like a very obvious version of “good cop, bad cop” is being played for the pakistani public, while behind the scenes, Pakistan leadership is just fine with us taking out the foreign jihadi trash in their lawless tribal region at the Afganistan border.

Not wise to fire on our troops, no matter where they’re located!

Reagan, Lebanon; Clinton, Somalia. Seems to have worked for the Islamists.

What is truly ironic is that the Pakistani’s will not fire on the Taliban who use their border positions to attack the Afghans.

It is far more serious than just prohibiting us from attacking terrorist safe havens. The Pakistani’s give the Taliban free reign on their side of the border. The Taliban use Pak Mil border positions to attack the Afghan Border Police while at the same smuggling weapons and men into Afghanistan. Then these weapons and men kill innocent Afghan civilians, Afghan security personnel and U.S. Soldiers, and destabilize Afghanistan.

The Paki’s need to be held accountable for this.
