In a call to her Pakistani counterpart this month, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton reiterated the Obama administration’s counterterrorism “red line”:** The United States reserved the right to attack anyone who it determined posed a direct threat to U.S. national security, anywhere in the world**.

Foreign Minister Hina Rabbani Khar responded in kind, telling Clinton that Pakistan’s red line was the violation of its sovereignty. Any unauthorized flight into its airspace, Khar bluntly told Clinton, risked being shot down.

US is thumping its chest again, it should be ashamed that past few adventures have only dented US credibility, brought up US intelligence failures, emptied its treasuries. Any more adventure would be the last nail in the coffin.
