When Marines handed over combat outposts scattered across the bullet and mortar scarred city to Pakistani soldiers, one look in their eyes told them that the UN forces had no intention of manning the hard-earned bases and even less commitment to the relentless patrolling that had brought what passed for normal back to a war-torn country.
