#1 British troops are going to the south to guarantee reconstruction, not to engage in American-style capture and kill missions

Hint: The reconstruction actually goes faster when you do a little capturing and killing first...

US warns on UK Afghan troop role

Afghanistan
IRAN
Pak Land-Balochistan

It's hard to imagine that our strategist are going to allow Nato or the Brits to backslide on all the progress we've made in the Pushtun tribal areas in the South of Afghanistan and in Pakistan.

The Taliban and their Pak helpers haven't given up the struggle for control by any means. The enemy surely would take advantage of Nato forces if they pulled back and used maninly defensive tactics.

There's so much at stake, Iran and the Nuke standoff. I hope we're already a few moves ahead.

for instance:

Baloch Liberation

Baloch on line

Ethnic Groups Iran, Pakistan, Afghanistan

Most Balochs are Hanafi Sunni which complicates things a bit, but what isn't complicated in the Subcontinent or the Middle East.
