"... In all actuality, we'd need very little help from Pak. All we'd need them to do is keep the terrorists from escaping through Pakistan and to look the other way, (not really sure if we could get them to do either very effectively)." Well... supposedly we now have a 'wink, wink, nudge, nudge' kind of unable-to-be-spoken-in-public kind of agreement with the new Democratic government in Pakistan.... Supposedly they have no problem with us attacking FOREIGN terrorists inside Pakistan (Arabs, Central Asians, Chechens, al Qaeda...) but they reserve for themselves all right as far as what to do about the Taliban (which are largely Pastun and/or Pakistani), and other local terrorists such as L.e.T. which just attacked in India. The problem with that kind of 'half-baked' agreement, as i see it, is that those 'local' terrorists (often State sponsored or at least state protected by Pakistan) are killing Americans and other folks most every day TOO. :-(
