so pa is lying when they ask for drone attacks to stop?
the PA reports to the GoP and the GoP effectively is quietly allowing said drone attacks in Pakistani soil. . .
the PA's brass has made the recommendation to either:
a.) cease and desist
b.) provide drone tech. to Pakistan so that it can be "marketed" as a Pakistani-run COIN
c.) give the orders to strike down the intruding umanned aircrafts
i.e. PA or PAF can not act unilaterally without the orders....no this isn't an "excuse" this is just protocol. The same way government ordered operations in Sawat and South Waziristan, similar orders would be required for the go-ahead to bring down the drones. The govt. however has not given any definitive answers and likely they won't; but if enough domestic pressure builds up they may have little or no choice.
