I have always believed that the final decisive battle to kill Al Qaeda will be fought in the Northwestern Frontier states. This is forbidding territory, and its valleys and backwarrens favor the defender. Intelligence will be everything to a quick resolution to the conflict. Spring 2005 sounds about right, assuming, as I do, that Bush will be reelected.
If he is not, don't bet that this will happen. No one ever lost any money betting on the strategic acumen of a liberal Democrat.
Be Seeing You,

Stratfor has apparently missed the mark, at least by nine months. The article makes clear that the clock has been pushed up. A poster on the Blackfive: The Paratrooper of Love blog said that someone she knows has received "planning orders'.
I'm convinced that this was leaked to get the cockroaches moving. But if we need to go in big, we'll go in big.
Something is afoot.
Be Seeing You,
Chris
