#1 The young bucks were calling the shots. I wondered why they stood and fought... and died.

#2 Hey, it worked on the Palestinians. Let's try it with the Taleban.

#3 I held deep suspicions a while back when all of a sudden Perv was sweetness and light in North Wazoo, right at the same time as we were beating snot out of the bad boyz in Afghanistan.

My first guess was that it was an effort to herd the Afghan Talibs back to Pak, then tighten up on the border. If it would create bad blood between the Talibs who were getting creamed and their REMFs, well, that's just a bonus.

#4 Rather than blame themselves, it's more comforting to blame other leaders back in Pakistan

How Democratic!

#5 This not a tragedy. It is just the right time for the
SOLUTION

Afghanistan and Balochistan should form a legal team to challenge the illegal occupation of Afghan territories and Balochistan by Pakistan in the International Court of Justice. Once the Durand Line Agreement is declared illegal, it will result in the return of Pakistan-occupied territories back to Afghanistan. Also, Balochistan will be declared a country that was forcibly invaded through use of force by the Pakistanis; and with international assistance, Balochistan can regain its independence. It is the right time to act now because the US and Allied forces in Afghanistan are positioned to facilitate the enforcement of the Courts judgment.

After Pakistan vacates territories belonging to Afghanistan and Balochistan, a new boarder should be demarked amicably to determine Baloch dominated areas to become the new Balochistan, and Pashtun dominated areas to be merged into Afghanistan. And, with the help of the US and Allied forces, the Afghans and the Baloch forces can flush out members of Al-Qaeda and Talebans from their respective countries.

A wise observer once said, Pakistan is a completely superfluous and artificially created spot on the world map that has become a breeding ground for extremism, and trouble that would be best done away with.
