#3 Force has rarely been a successful policy in the tribal areas.

Force has never been tried in the tribal areas. And I mean right back to the Raj.

#4 However, analysts say Musharraf also knows that the regions fiercely independent tribes have bloodied the noses of all who have tried to subdue them.

I'd like to see these goat herders try and bloody the nose of a B-52 while it ARCLIGHTs the f&*k out of them. Fending off Pakistan's ineffectual military doesn't count as actual battle. We need to give these cretins a taste of real Made in the USA-style destruction.

Musharraf is in a very difficult position with very limited choices,

Musharraf's intentional fence sitting has already cost far too many American lives. It's time to fight or f&*k and we need to throw him under the bus if he doesn't get on board pronto.
