#1 Immediately after 9/11 Bush made similar threats.

Ultimately the West hasn't even been willing to deliberately hurt the enemy's feelings e.g. by going so far as to name the enemy.

In light of the last 18 years, why would any rational observer classify this as more than empty bluster?

#2 "We will go wherever they are."

I say again, bomb Quetta. Bomb the shit out of it. If not a nuke, then a couple of MOABS at least. Sure, it'll have collateral, but the people there are miserable anyway. The CIA knows exactly where to bomb the leadership. Where their wives and families dwell, funded and kept in good health by admirers from all islamic nations. Do them like they did you.

#3 The CIA knows

Ah?

#4 Of course it does. Most of the leadership's wives and families reside in protected cottages in Phase I and II of Faisal Town, Quetta. They visit them too I'll bet. The Masjid Al Islamia north of Jinnah town is a meeting place for several ideologues and leaders who serve dual positions in the Tehreek and as facilitators of the link between ISI and taliban. But this is common knowledge even in the 'Stain. You ask a village idiot in Balochistan 'where is the taliban territory ?' He'll point you to it. In addition, there's real estate owned by mullah baradar and friends transferred over to them directly by Pakistain in 2016. There's supposed to be a law institute there for Balochis, but not one Balochi studies there. So what's it for ?

I'm sure with better intel, some will and coordination a decisive strike, or even a proxy strike would be effective. Ohhh, if India had the testicular fortitude... sigh.

#5 What I meant, they're so deeply involved in regime changes: both home and abroad; it hardly leaves time for anything else.
