#2 Negroponte's not the none to deal with it. It's now Gates' responsibility. I agree with the comment that we haven't been mean enough about the "insurgents". We need to flatten every town and village in the "NWFP", with or without Pakiland's permission. If that gets the pakis riled up, bomb the he$$ out of them, too. First their nuke weapons sites, then their military installations, then anything that sticks up higher than six inches above the surrounding surface. Maybe, just MAYBE, the rest of islam will be watching, and will actually learn something. We need one of Curtis LeMay's B-29 raids over Tokyo, or the assault of 1000 B-17s and B-24s over Berlin, but with modern weapons. We need to break a couple of hundred older model Buffs out of the Boneyard, refurbish them, fill them with iron bombs and iron men, and flatten a couple of mideast countries. Instead of "allah akhbar", it'll be "allah, save me!". Allah has no air defense weapons capable of doing that, so you lose, turban-tops.

#3 I'm down with bombings and having a few fly off course and hit those bases deep in Pakistan.

Let's face it the people who live in these tribal areas there don't answer to Pakistan so expecting much help from duplicitous allies seems pointless at least on the NWFP (and killing AQ therein) issue.

I can see the value of their intelligence, having a foot in the door if India and Pakistan start going hot, trade...etc.

I realize their intel is valuable but how valuable, if it impedes us?
