#1 "Basically, the September 5, 2006 agreement is between the federal government and local tribal leaders. There is no agreement with the Taliban at all."

Except, of course, where the local tribal leaders are the Taliban.

#3 If it is a state, it can be warred upon. I am also reading this in a foolishly optimistic way. My God could Mushariff really have convinced them to give up Pak protection so that the US could eliminate his problem and provide an example to the various independence movements in Pakistan. Machiavelli would be proud if that is so.
