general observations -
1) No way on this planet Pak. gives PUBLIC permission for this. Of course they deny permission/deny they will give permission when the story breaks, duh. It would be tremendously stupid to give public permission.
2) What happens in the sticks is another matter, though in fact the denial may be real. Apparently it is being discussed. I (and almost all other freepers) presumably don’t know what is actually being worked out or not, successfully or not. I certainly don’t expect a pakistani press release detailing the areas (if any) where US forces will be allowed to operate in any capacity.
3) Do freepers as a rule understand #1? This thread doesn’t imply so.
