The Pentagon is "ready, willing and able" to send U.S. troops to conduct joint combat operations with Pakistan's military against al-Qaeda sanctuaries in Pakistan's tribal areas, Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates said yesterday.
The U.S. military is also beginning to construct as many as eight coordination centers along the Afghan-Pakistani border that will be staffed by officers from the three countries to more closely share intelligence and conduct combat operations, according to Maj. Gen. David Rodriguez, the top U.S. commander for eastern Afghanistan.

No it doesn't. In fact the fighting according to a German friend of mine has brought the deaths in Pakistan to number three out of 22 wars in the world.Spartan wrote:Excellent. Hopefully 'Joint' means they will send one officer to ride in a command bird above the ground to watch while our guys do all the ground work. I don't think we need any actual Pakistan military 'help'.
Oh, that's bad of me, probably sounds a bit nationalistic too.
My guess is that they need help but how do you avoid their nationalistic/islamist problem.
