Afghanistan
Taliban go urban

That's what happens when Pakistan Army professionals are running the show instead of Talib amateurs. The P.A. ought to be careful, or they're going to end up with a real war on their hands, should the Afghans decide to attack the source of their problems.

#1  The thing that the mighty Pakistani army brigadiers should ponder is that while their predecessors were trained by Britain over half a century ago, the Afghan Army's newest officers are being trained by West Point professors right now. We'll ignore that the mighty Pakistani army has lost every war it ever started (and it started all its wars), despite the best the Brits could do with them. War gaming the situation might be a nice project for East Point's senior class...
