I was thinking of the current moderate, pro-western govt, which is presently in power in Pakistan, and who I presume fear a militant Islamic Afghanistan.

Don't forget, also, that winter in Afghanistan is terrible and these people are grabbing territory now so they can hunker down during the snow. So on second thoughts BHO will probably not be "tested" in Afghanistan in late January, on account of the place being ice-bound.
