The Pakistanis are doing a LOT more right now than they were during the Bush Administration and their President (so-called) is hanging by a thread, so pushing that guy TOO much is going to bring on another military coup and THEN we wouldn't know what the heck they'd do.

Apparently this Haqqani guy goes to Afghanistan every month and his followers are there already so we need to HIT that guy and his followers. Once again it seems we have LOUSY ground intelligence. Just like in Iraq and Iran.

So...we're stuck with "drone intelligence". We THINK there's bad guys in that house so we just blow it up. We get one or two bad guys but 50 civilians.

Mossad has people on the ground in EVERY country in the Middle East but WE can't seem to get our act together in that regard so we just build more missiles and drones and hope we can fly blind and win.
