We should declare a mile-wide exclusion zone along the entire Af/Pak border, and blow up anything in that zone that is warmer than the surrounding terrain. Then we should start dropping mines. Lots and lots of mines.
Once it becomes impossible to cross from Pakistan back into Afghanistan, we should tell the Pakis that the terrorists on their side of the border are their problem, and they can deal with them, or not, as they see fit.
Then we can take care of business on our side of the border, and chase down the Talibunnies, who will suddenly have no place to hide.

I think it would work. We should obliterate that entire area - wipe them out on their way back into Pakistan or on their way out - who cares what direction they’re going? That will assure they won’t be coming back. I know it’s a heck of a long border but why wouldn’t it work? Why can’t it be done from the air as it was in Bosnia? Ours and allied troops can’t go there in the winter and we don’t want to send them to be slaughtered anyway. It’s going to be months before 0’s plan is put into effect. Probably 6-8 months to get our guys there, pull out in 18 months leaves 10 months to wrap it up - what a genius!! The caves on that border must be rocking in laughter.
Let’s make you GENERAL Haiku Guy! Someone finally has to make a definitive move.
