The following is the most disturbing part of this article, but the whole thing is scary as hell.

And one such serious challenge is the possibility of another major attack similar to 9/11. The growing American ‘chatter’ about an imminent attack on the United States originating from Pakistan’s tribal region is a serious concern within the Pakistani strategic community today. The Pakistani ambassador in Washington was put on notice early this month that the U.S. would ‘retaliate’ if America suffered such an attack. No less than the U.S. military’s highest ranking officer, Admiral Michael Mullen, came out to drive the point home. Part of the concern is that Washington is exaggerating Al Qaeda’s capabilities and that Pakistan could end up entrapped in a manufactured crisis that serves American strategic objectives that do not match Pakistan’s. The American ‘retaliation’ in this case would definitely mean an invasion of our territories. And the ground is being prepared for this. Karzai’s blunt threat was more than just a case of a roaring mouse. It is no coincidence that Pakistan is facing renewed nuclear blackmail at the hands of U.S. media reports that make serious allegations without naming the U.S. government officials behind them.
