| Obama told: help Pakistan or risk a repeat of 9/11 in America or Britain |
| 2009-03-16 |
| A team headed by Bruce Riedel, a former CIA Middle East expert, asked to overhaul US policy on Afghanistan and Pakistan, has concluded that stabilising Pakistan is now the higher priority, a source familiar with the discussions has revealed. The report, prepared in conjunction with the National Security Council, will focus on the need to co-opt moderate Taliban elements and shut down militant safe havens in Pakistan's he lawless northwest border region. It will also urge a sharp increase in military and civil assistance. But The Sunday Telegraph has learned that the need to prevent a repeat of the September 11 attacks has become the driving force behind the review, which could be published as early as this week. |

In other words, President Obama could make his mark in history not by losing Iraq after his predecessor had all but won there, but by encouraging the situation that led to a second 9/11 on his watch, after his predecessor had prevented that for eight years. A nice way to sharpen the gentleman's focus on the important things! |
