First you got to do justice to your soldiers by stopping this "shot in sleep" thing. Anyone who will know even a little bit about forces will know that people do not sleep on the border post. All of them do not sleep together. There is a guard all the while and even those who sleep do so with the arms in reach.
Further to your comments about the post being 2.5 Kilometers inside the border, you are correct. There could have been several scenarios, one wherein ISAF chased the Taliban in to Pakistan and in the range of small arms combat situation with PA men. Other wherein PA actually had more than small arms (not possible?) amongst a few other scenarios.
Re the supporting Taliban, I will just take Mullen's words on this one even if you may believe them to be preposterous. And it is anyway a stated policy that Pakistan will fight the terrorists of its choosing at a time of its choosing and location of its choosing. You are right, a lot of room for infiltration in between for terrorists that are not the type of PA's choosing.
Did I mention anywhere that the whole of the post was sleeping? There is always a night duty. The quarter guard, the duty NCO, the duty JCO, the DQ, the sentrys at the lowest level, the company Havaldar etc etc. I know about this okay , so grow up out of your dilemma that you know everything.
And as you said, the ISAF soldiers did come into Pakistan, then Pakistan has every right to shoot them.
