Is it just a policing action to enhance our own foot print in the middle east? Is it to have a presence in and near Pakistan, finally? Or is it to secure the geography so a pipeline can be built and made secure to route oil and thus eliminate the need for other middle east countries to use expensive tankers to get product to the world market? Pick one already, please. So we'll know what to expect when we decide to undertake a similar "mission" in Iran at the first opportunity. "Mission failure"??? You gotta have a mission, first.
