We have not been invited there and probably won't be, if Musharraff wants to keep his job and his head. The best we can do for now is keep forces on the Afghan border and keep the pressure on Musharraff to do what he can in that part of the country, which BTW, the central gov't. does not control. I think it's tough for most Americans to understand that there are parts of several countries where the central government has little or no control. UBL is exploiting just such a situation, since it exists in both Pakistan and Afghanistan.

And the reason why we have supported Musharraff and made Pakistan an ally is what exactly?
If we wanted to go into Pakistan with a division with Musharraff's blessing, we could. If we wanted to send in a team of 20 Special Forces without Musharraff's blessing, we could.
What's the sense of being a superpower if all you can do is invade countries?
