Ragtag Revolts in Parts of Afghanistan Repel Taliban
2012-08-26
Long NYT piece on how there's no love for the Taliban in much of Afghanistan. That doesn't mean that the inhabitants will do anything to work with the infidel westerners, of course, whom they dislike and mistrust just as much if not more. Good background piece and worth a Sunday read.

#1  See also DEFENCE.PK/FORUMS > WAZIRISTAN OPERATION: [Jirga] TRIBESMEN THREATEN INFLUX INTO AFGHANISTAN, iff the Pak Army conducts its controversial, US-demanded MilOp into North Waziristan agz the Taliban + espec the Haqqanis.

The Pak Tribals are threatening to migrate + settle in the KHOST, PAKIA, + PAKTIA provinces of Afghanistan - IMO THEY PROB FEAR BLOODY TTP + HAQQANI REPRISALS.

versus

* SAME > [US Official] "US READY TO CEDE THREE [Afgan] PROVINCES TO HAQQANIS", iff they will cease support for the Taliban.
