Since the jihadist effort consists of many splinter groups all of whom have shown they will break an agreement when it is advantageous to do so

Just like Mohammad did after agreeing to the Treaty of Hudaybiya with the Meccan tribe of Quraish.

Oh, wait.. keep in mind Mohammad was just a Radical Muslim. In no way does his behaviour influence the majority of Muslims who are peaceful.

There is a lot of unfounded faith in Pakistan being something other than an Islamic basketcase. A naive belief that people there tell the truth, that anyone has any intention of weakening either Afghan or Paki Taliban.

Under duress Mushsareef feeds a few foreign fighters to the west to simulate cooperation.

The new dude says to America he wants to attack “terrorism” on a broader front….Any bet that is Muslim nuance for a bigger bundle of money? After all it’s a new party and new leaders. They need to be payed off as do the parties and the new leaders family and extended cousins, even more money, and thats just to prime the well.

Have those new supply lines from Russia materialized yet?

…and Gilani offers a modernization package for Waziristan and North West Frontier Province that is long overdue.

Yeah, modernize from the 7th Century to the 11th.

Gilani is a useless idiot. The only negotiating one can do with sociopathic muslim jihadists is to kill them before they kill you.

I will keep saying this, because it never gets old or less true: When you discover that you are in a fight with a raving, homicidal maniac you have two choices and only two. You can succumb and die or kill them and live.

One cannot reason with a raving homicidal maniac.

Political solutions require compromise made in good faith by both sides. Since the jihadist effort consists of many splinter groups all of whom have shown they will break an agreement when it is advantageous to do so, I anticipate the same level of success with this approach as we have seen with peace agreements made with the PLO organizations. All this does is allow some R and R for the terrorists.
