I'm With Obama On This One

To the extent camps are operating in Pakistan, we should have carte blanche to go in and fuck them up.

The Pakistani's can't have it both ways - they can't argue the territory is ungovernable and then also claim it as sovereign territory.

At the same time, I recognize the challenge of being a lot of militants and we are in constant risk of creating more with a big footprint. Plus, Pakistan is technically our ally in the WOT.

Thus, our primary goal must be to alienate Al Queda. That is, the most anti-American element of the Taliban-Afghani insurgency. Can we separate Al Queda from the Taliban? Would that be in our interest?
