When Two Wars Just Aren’t Enough

The BBC reports this morning that Pakistan forces in the North Waziristan region twice shot at US helicopters, turning them back from another planned incursion across Pakistan’s border. As promised, the Pakistani forces are protecting their own national borders — but their official spokesman denied that they had any news of this little engagement.

Perhaps Pakistani officials are simply following the Washington model — issue a formal denial while letting your actions deliver the real message.
