Why are there so many new ("new"?) deployments there? Explain it to me like I'm five years old.

2. Okay, but—like I'm five. What are we going to do there with the greater number of troops
that can't be done with the military folks already stationed there?

3. Going into Pakistan.
If things there explode. Musharraf's military is filled with Islamic extremists, so he's been walking that tightrope. If there is a serious push against Musharraf that he can't contain, we will deploy.
