jerrytbg,

When Ambassador Jawad referred to the “Pakistanization of Al Qaeda,” he meant that Al Qaeda has started moving most of its logistical and operational infrastructure to Pakistan. Additionally, more Pakistani individuals are now being recurited to Al Qaeda and various Pakistani institutions – primarily the intelligence service – have extended their support (or turned a blind eye) to the terrorist group.

That’s because democracies never change. I know this because I live in the South. My favorite thing to do is sit on my veranda, sipping a mint julep while watching the darkies pick the cotton. I do this while my fiance, and first cousin, Scarlett takes an afternoon nap. Ah, the joys of the aristocracy.

That’s just his opinion. I’m sure if you asked Imadamnutjob, he would clear this up for you by saying “We don’t have drug addicts in our country. We don’t have this phenomenon.”

“The fact is that Afghanistan is larger than Iraq, with terrain that is more difficult and more complicated … The forces only just got increased to 85,000 …. and this is not enough to defend the country against terrorism.”

And from what I’ve been told by troops on my plane, the Afghans are a lot harder to train than the Iraqis.

Afghanistan…the “government” and the “people” are now our friends and dependents. The countries new constitution is Islamic rooted with the Qu’ran having the last say in all things Afghani. The institutions are Islamic and the people are Muslims. Islam is now our “friend” and Muslims are our “friends”. We defend them from “terrorists” who we address as non Islamic in behavior and merely fringe radicals hijacking a “beautiful religion of peace” as the leaders of the world will tell you.

We are defending “good” Afghans who would not hesitate to kill an apostate. We are defending “good” Afghans from “bad” Afghans who would not hesitate to kill an apostate.

We are defending “good” Muslims who don’t hesitate to murder daughters for an honor infraction. We are defending them from “bad” Muslims who do not hesitate to kill their daughters for an honor violation.

The same is true in Iraq. How is this to be measured as progress or even common sense?

“The civilian government understands the danger of the Talibanization of Pakistan, which is coupled with another

serious threat I call the Pakistanization of al-Qaeda …

?
I’m sorry, but can you elaborate on this point?

Good interveiw. Afghanistan has been battered by decades of war and is far more impoverish than say Iraq. It will be harder to get on track considering its economy and the drug trafficing there.

The reason Afghanistan goes into war so often is it so remote. But if the insurgency can be weakened that might end.
