#2 The Pakistanis aren't going to do anything more about this insult to their sovereignty than they have done about previous insults. The locals aren't going to fight a useless battle.

#3 Pound it to scrap with an ARCLIGHT strike. Dump leaflets saying the same thing will happen to any town the "Taliban" "take". Tell phakestan that since they cannot or will not stop the nonsense, they are useless, and the United States will take responsibility for eliminating the taliban from the tribal areas. Then crush the area so completely the locals left alive will pray for the return of the British Raj. Oh, and somebody stick a bayonette up Karzai's a$$ when he starts trying to dictate terms.

We are a world power being bled dry by PCism and stupidity. It's time we went back to what works - killing people and breaking things until our enemies are all dead or are willing to surrender totally. That was Truman's mistake in Korea, the US' mistake in Vietnam, and it's our mistake in dealing with these religious nutjobs. Making the same mistake time after time and expecting things to be different is insanity. It's time it stopped.
