And now the plea is that even the "powerful ISI" is incapable of controlling these terrorists? Note the general's "we" in "We don't have a choice..."!
“We don’t have a choice, given the tremendous pressure on Pakistan,” the ISI man said, almost apologetically. “So you are ordered to stop immediately all cross-border operations.”As in -- we don't have a choice but to give you these orders. As the article makes clear (albeit Newsweek), the militants have a choice whether to submit. Meaning, the ISI does not control them, Indian media notwithstanding.
