The operation is unlikely to destroy the enemy, however, and will leave in place some Taliban warlords whom the United States and its NATO allies in Afghanistan regard as a significant cross-border threat. It will raise questions about the seriousness of Pakistan's fight against insurgents after the country won international praise for its concerted efforts in Swat. "The nature of the operation is totally different from what we did in Swat," said a senior Pakistani security official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the issue.
FREEradicals - The Definition of Insanity…
I'm slammed at work and several serious Afghanistan watchers with a lot more local knowledge than I have [which ain't that hard] are all over this story.
But is it me or does anyone else think it's problematic that the man responsible for America's Afghanistan and Pakistan policy was making pit stops on his way through the camp looking for information to 'take home to U.S. intelligence analysts and White House policymakers'. Is the U.S. mission in Pakistan that short-staffed? Because I come pretty cheap and I'm more than happy to go traipsing around the country-side asking people about how the Taliban recruits in their village if that'll free up his time for policy-making and stuff.
