US forces strike inside Pakistan

Have to wait and see how this plays out.
US-led and Afghan troops struck Taliban posts inside Pakistan, which denied giving permission, as new clashes left more than 30 rebels dead and there were claims Sunday of civilian casualties.

The US says it received permission, the Pakistanis said they didn't give it. (If history is a guide from the past missile attacks, they probably did, but will deny it as long as they can.)

But I think it's notable that the US carried Afghan troops across the border with them.
