#1 execpt this is A. A mischarecterization of where the PPP is these days, including the anachronistic reference to Bhuttos earlier support for the Taliban (which made sense from Pakistans geopolitical interests, and was before they were out of control) B. It implies that Perv only made nicey with the taliban cause of the Paki people, which AFAICT is utter bullshit. While they arent deeply concerned about the Taliban, Perv was much more responsive to the Pakistani military and ISI. C. Has the NRO even noticed how poorly the MMA has done? And did Imran Khan do well? D. So theyre gonna talk to the Paki talibs. again, thats what Perv did, and its what the Brits did in Afghan, and more or less what we are doing in Iraq. The urge to break the enemy alliance apart is huge. In some places it will work, and in some it wont.
