Pakistan's reaction means that the US presence in Afghanistan is nearly done. Pakistan is important to us only as transit route & listening post - kind of like Casablanca in WWII.

Pakistan is playing their own game with Taliban, Al-Queda, Afghanistan, India, & whatever other agendas they're working on. The sooner we cut $ & material aid to Pakistan, the faster they'll have to fish or cut bait on nuke proliferation. Denying the Paki our support will make them focus on their domestic situation, & possibly make them pull back from their adventurism with regards to India.

The Paki military & ISI make a lot of threatening noises about aligning with the PDRC - but I don't think China would even want to step in there. Too many factions, not enough mineral wealth to be worth the static - except possibly to rub our & NATO's faces in their "success". Considering the $ billions we've already thrown away there, a little serving of crow won't hurt us much @ all ...
