As the Pakistanis are now FINALLY starting to put serious pressure on the Taliban, AQ, and other jihadists in the tribal areas, pushing them into Aghanistan, the US and NATO should be increasing our own pressure and squeezing them into increasingly smaller areas along the border, killing more and more of them as they get caught in the vise.
Instead, under Obama's hapless dithering, we're going to allow them to fan out into the countryside and gain a stronger foothold in Afghanistan.
Stupid. It will come back to haunt us.
