#2 I would suggest the Musarif accept terms and fall back into Pakland proper then also accept US treaty to allow the US forces to move forward to new temporary Pakland border at Pakland Proper temporarily of course.

Once US forces are done killing all they wish and feel their work is done then Pakland military will renegotiate surrender of what is left of the tribes.

#8 Might I suggest that we treat this offer the way the British paras did in my favorite scene from A Bridge Too Far:

Major Harry Carlyle: [an SS officer is approaching under a flag of truce] Rather interesting development, sir.
Major Harry Carlyle: [to the German] That's far enough!
Major Harry Carlyle: We can hear you from there!
SS Panzer Officer: My general says there is no point in continuing this fighting! He wishes to discuss terms of a surrender!
Major Harry Carlyle: Shall I answer him, sir?
Lt. Col. John Frost: Tell him to go to hell.
Major Harry Carlyle: We haven't the proper facilities to take you all prisoner! Sorry!
SS Panzer Officer: [German officer looks confused] What?
Major Harry Carlyle: We'd like to, but we can't accept your surrender! Was there anything else?
Lt. Col. John Frost: [German officer walks off] Well; that's that.

#10 It's time to dust off the old Rolling Thunder plans from Vietnam and implement them in North Waziristan. When 10 foot of top soil is overturned you tend to change your perspective on surrender.
