Pakistan enacts Sharia Law in the SW Frontier fer the first time EVAR?
Man, sometimes the writing on the wall is ALL IN CAPS, aint it?
It is up to America to decide how many of their people they want dead in Afghanistan. That too for a lost and useless cause.
Canada is out of Afghanistan by 2011.
The Taliban are, like it or not, a home grown insurgency and thus only have to survive to WIN.
They must be dealt with by bringing them to the negotiation table.
Just randomly swatting at them only makes them madder and more committed to their cause of making Afghanistan the "Graveyard of Empires" once again.
In Spud opinion, Tosse, Afganistan was only marginally about "getting the guys who did 9/11".
It's more important raison d'etre is to provide an excuse to carry on with the lumbering "Pentagon System". The one that spends insane amounts of public monies annually on Military expenditures. Secondary to that goal is putting the opium production in the Hellemond province back into the hands of the CIA after the Taliban made serious efforts towards eradicating it.
Of course, Deth is an incredibly cynical Spud.
This political victory in Pakistan ensures that the Taliban cannot be conquered and must be dealt with diplomatically.
Be Well.
