Interesting discussion of WOT in Pakistan.

Crumpton proposed a detailed plan last year for rolling up these sanctuaries, which he called the Regional Strategic Initiative. It would combine economic assistance and paramilitary operations in a broad counterinsurgency campaign.

A form of this is exactly what will work (with us /U.S. being given the ability sans any interference to attack HVT targets).

We need both more U.S. guns and butter into these Pak border regions - Guns at those we want dead and butter for those who get out of our way (and even more butter to those who help with Intel).

We should NOT be negotiating with Pakistan about al Qaeda in their country.

We SHOULD have a big enough military to keep 160,000 in Iraq as at present, and to invade the rebel province(s) of Pakistan to kill very many terrorists and their kin, supporters, etc.

Or better yet, bomb them daily like we did Germany and Japan during WWII.
