His own people can kill him quicker than we can, most likely.

And if he was to allow the US to launch attacks in Pakistan without Pakistani permission, that's exactly what they will do.

It's political posturing. Given the current view of the US, not only in the region but especially among his own people, he's hardly going to say "Go ahead George, send in the troops". The backlash from allowing the US to send troops into Pakistan would likely cause him untold amounts of trouble.
So, he takes the hardline stance condemning any possible US entry but as we all know, what politicians say and what they actually do are two completely different things

I agree with Britguy, this is just him stamping his dominance. You would think given his current predicament he would be trying to lay low. I guess in that region of the world you have to 'puff out your chest' every once in a while.
