WHY THINGS ARE GETTING WORSE IN AFGHANISTAN - (DESPITE OBAMA'S TROOP ESCALATION), AND WHAT MUST BE DONE ABOUT IT

THINGS ARE GETTING WORSE IN AFGHANISTAN.

WHY IS THIS SO?

I'LL TELL YOU WHY - AND YOU WON'T READ THIS ANYWHERE ELSE:

IT'S BECAUSE LET THEW PAKIS GET RID OF MUSHARRAF.

Musharraf as far from perfect and there was undoubtedly a lot of double-dealing going on during his reign - with or without his knowledge.

But things were better then.

But the Democrats - especially Joe "let's divide up Iraq" Biden and Jean Francoise Kerry - allied themselves with Sharif and Bhutto and agitated for Musharraf's ouster and the return of Sharif and Bhutto to power.

Bush and Musharraf acquiesced.

WHAT WAS THE CHIEF RESULT OF THIS APPEASMENT?

What's ALWAYS the result of appeasement?

More violence.

IT WAS ALL SO PREDICTABLE:

The new "democratic" government led by Bhutto's widower - the incredibly corrupt "Mr. 10%" - appeased the Taliban and allowed Taliban to strengthen themselves in the lawless tribal regions.

Now, a year or so later all the libs and the permanent shadow government of CIA bureaucrats have decided that Afghanistan might not be winnable and maybe we should exit. They wonder: maybe Obama's escalation is a mistake - and Democrats in Congress predictably prepare to "bug out"....

Even George Will has endorsed this idiocy.

HERE'S THE REAL ANSWER:

We must simply tell Pakistan this:

Only the regions which the government of Pakistan can exercise political, legal, police, jurisprudential, and military control over are legitimately party of Pakistan.

If they cannot control the FATA regions and the Taliban "safe havens" then they are DE FACTO not part of Pakistan.

Lawless regions within so-called "international borders" are merely DE JURE parts of Pakistan and these borders will no longer be recognized. Henceforth, we will attack the enemy of our ally Afghanistan at will - and with all necessary force within these lawless/self-administered regions.

THEN WE GO IN THERE AT WILL WITH WHATEVER KINETIC FORCE OUR MILITARY SAYS THEY NEED TO DO THE JOB.

AND THE JOB IS ANNIHILATING THE ENEMY.

And if there are civilian casualties, then TOUGH SHIT. if civilians in these regions don't want to be collateral damage then they should split at once.

This is a brutal strategy - but one which would succeed.

DOES OBAMA REALLY WANT TO SUCCEED OR NOT?

If Obama appeases the doves or the Taliban, then he will - in effect - be aiding and abetting the Taliban and al Qaeda.
