#1 We put up with one "army" fighting us from a safe haven, and it took forever to stabilize Vietnam. We don't need to play that game again. We need to tell Pakiwakiland that they either govern - totally - the Tribal Areas, or we're going to sterilize it. Of course, that depends on whether McCain or Obama become our next president. It's too late for Bush.

#2 I strongly support Pres Nixon, when he ordered hits on Viet Cong rear bases in Cambodia. Harborage is an act of war. As for Pakistan, one PEW poll reported 65% admiration levels for Osama bin Laden. And Sindhis hate him. Ergo: open support for al-Qaeda is extremely high in Punjabi, Pashtun, Waziri, and Balochi areas.

US support for ground operations in Afghanistan isn't written in stone. The Pashto Heroin republic can be carpet bombed from the former Northern Alliance stronghold. That can happen.
