Based on the stand downs that have occurred with the treaties in the northwest of Pakistan, all it’s done is allowed the fundamentalists to get stronger as they break the agreement each and every time.
Pakistan has now been forced to realize the failure of that policy. They have come under direct assault. Imagine a ground assault on the Pentagon.
That’s what’s happened there. And that’s one of several recent attacks.
If the United States want to win Afganistan they need to eject Pakistan as a partner and cancel their aid. Pakistan is the biggest hindrance to U.S. operations there because the Pakistanis are working with the Taliban.
