If so, the Taliban will find themselves continuing on the defensive — and perhaps concentrating less of their effort on Afghanistan and more on Pakistan instead.

It’s about time we get down to business.

Afghanistan and Waziristan – al qaida and the Taliban – should’ve been the focus of our military, from the beginning.

FROM THE BEGINNING.

Does anyone think Pakistan’s Muslims have been any help except for going out of their way to take money? Does no one remember that the ISI/PPP created and nurtured the Taliban?

By the way, Pakistan is a “democracy” planted by the British. Look at Pakistan’s short history as a democracy. This is what you can expect from every Muslim “democracy”, a failed state that needs regular military coups to keep from imploding. If you want to be successful at this game, you have to remove Islam from the equation, but no one is about to do that, so get used to failure in dealing with Islam.

Earlier this week an Islamabad restaurant was bombed injuring an FBI Operations Chief and 4 other FBI personnel.

It matters not how Bhutto’s party actually “rules.” I wouldn’t expect much difference between PPP and Musharaff.

However, her asassination has, for the time being, opened a window opportunity through which we have been able to begin to assert ourselves “Kinetically.” All the while the Pakistani political entities point fingers and blaming each other as US imperialist lackies.

Yes, it is a cynical view…However, if there are bad actors assuming room temperature in larger quantities and with high frequency….

Is it really better if we step up the offensives into Pakistan as a result of a greater Pakistani unwillingness to cooperate with us? I’m all for blowing the hell out of terrorists in Waziristan, I just don’t want us to be cheering unilateral involvement that was forced because the Pakistani politicians don’t feel like they have to play ball with us anymore.

Also, Bhutto named her enemies in office, but she had more than those. As her common enemies, however, they would have networked. Her own party might have been involved in order to gain public sympathy support and get her out of the way all in one fell swoop. Assassinations are as dark as ever.

If so, the Taliban will find themselves continuing on the defensive — and perhaps concentrating less of their effort on Afghanistan and more on Pakistan instead.

New terrorist leader seen for the first time.
