| A Battle Lost in the War on Terror |

| With little reporting, and almost without media or governmental comment, the United States has suffered a substantial defeat in the war against radical Islam. Three weeks ago, Pakistan signed the terms of the Waziristan Accord with the northern region of its country called North Waziristan. It was, effectively, the terms of surrender by Pakistan to the Taliban and al Qaeda, which dominate North Waziristan. Pakistan has negotiated a separate peace -- the eternal danger to any wartime alliance. The event itself was reported by the major newspapers, but the abject nature of the surrender passed with almost no comment. But surrender it was. Moreover, according to intelligence sources, Pakistan is negotiating similar terms with agencies in the Khyber, Tank, Dera Ismail Kahn and Bajaur regions of western Pakistan. If those negotiations are realized, the Taliban and al Qaeda will essentially have their own country again. With Waziristan they already have an excellent base of operations against our forces in Afghanistan. |

| #7 We don't need a draft! We had twice as many men under arms in 1992 as we do today : the draft ended in 1973/74. We just need to add another $150 billion a year to the defense budget for increased wages, and another $100 billion a year for increased equipment purchases, and we can double the size of the military without a stinking draft. Congress's refusal to increase the defense budget for those two items is all that is holding back a massive increase in the size of the American military. |

| #3 This will not be just a bunch of stone agers who want ot be left alone with their stone age cult. Afghanistan was pretty primitive when it was taken over by the Taliban. What these takeovers provide is the ability to set up substantial training, financial and support infrastructure for operations anywhere. |

| #1 The correct response to the Wazoos is simple. They are a primitive, tribal society so let them stew in their own juice. If they venture to contaminate a neighbor.... blast the crap out of them and say "Now, keep this shit to yourself. Don't make me come back!" Rinse and Repeat as necessary. These types of dark age folks don't want to be part of a civilized 21st century? Fine, just don't crap outside of your own nest. This is like addicts, they have to want to change before we can help them. You don't want help to stop drinking? Fine, drink yourself to death. Just don't kill some one with your drunken driving. |
