Don't say that it's a proposal to "invade" an ally--it's not. Don't say it's hypocritical--that's a cop out answer (and untrue).

Why answer a hypothetical that may never come up, when the result is to cause potential unrest? Pakistan has nuclear bombs and is quite unstable as it is. In the past few years we have had some strikes at suspected high level gatherings. If what he means is he will start pregular patrols into Pakistan, I think he risks toppling a friendly government. OTOH, maybe it is becoming time to run the risk of at least turning up the heat.
