#5 ARCLIGHT Waziristan like we did Laos. Did quite a bit of damage to the NVA that way, and sure made the Laotians mad at 'em. Unfortunately, we didn't blockade the ports of North Vietnam at the same time, so the material just kept pouring in. Even though we damaged or destroyed 50% of it, so much was coming down it didn't matter. I think Wazooland is a bit of a different matter. Of course, if the ISI and the Pak Army gets involved, like the NVA was in Laos, then we have an excuse to take out the madrassas in Pakistan - along with everything else.

#6 My personal opinion is that the truce between the Pakis and the Talibunnies simply means that certain American forces will get all expense paid trips to Waziristan while Perv happily looks the other way while hawking his forthcoming book on the talk show circuit. Without Pakistani troops in the area, any cross-border excursions while in (premeditated) hot pursuit become just anther case of he said/she said.

Officially, the governments of the US and Pakistan get to CYA, the Pak army gets to go off and do whatever it is that it does best, the media gets to seethe and fume and the bad guys get to die. What's not to like!
