Time will tell, since I'm not sure of the nature of their agreement. I have heard rumors that Pakistan has been supportive and hasn't outright decried the military action to this point, and I do know that the government had pledged their help should we find actionable intelligence that Bin Laden was hiding in Pakistan.

The problem is that while the Pakistani government has said that they support the U.S., it's pretty obvious that there were members of the security forces that were not, and I feel like I remember reading about U.S. activity in Afghanistan near the border being foiled by members of the Pakistani security forces. In light of that, they may understand. Time will tell, though.
