#2 It's been as "efficacious" as General Custer's final command decision. At least Custer preferred onions to arugula (sic?).

#5 NEWS KERALA > [Amb. Robert Blackwill]EX-US DIPLOMAT: A DE FACO PARTITION OF AFGHANISTAN IS US BEST OPTION AFTER "FAILING" [US Failure to defeat Taliban andor post-US collapse of Afghan Govt].

IIUC BLACKWILL = POTUS OBAMA + US must face the reality = truth that the Taliban etc., NOT THE CENTRAL/MAIN GOVT, will control most or all of the PASHTUN SOUTH REGARDLESS OF US-NATO/GOVT MIL EFFORT.

* SAME > HAQQANI: ALL TALIBAN REGARDLESS OF DISTINCTIONS POSE A THREAT TO PAKISTAN | TALIBAN + MILITANT MENACE TO PAK CAN'T BE DEFEATED BY MILITARY MEANS ALONE.

* SAME > TERRORTSTS PLANNING MASSIVE STRIKES ACROSS THE COUNTRY: WARNS PAKISTANI INTELLIGENCE.
