It's interesting how you call the program so foolish but than don't even have the most general idea about how to do it differntly. Duh! I am calling it foolish based on listening to and reading those who are knowledgeable about the situation. To morons like you who probably listen to "experts" like Kristol, Cheney, Rummy and others that may sound a bit odd, though.

Quit lying. Pakistan cut a deal to protect Bin Laden. It was all over the news the other day. It was not denied. It's true. And Bush's reaction was "Bin Laden is not a priority". That's what he said. Quit trying to deny reality. Your blind loyalty to this failed and corrupt president is disgusting.

Pakistan spins its way through the Taliban Deal (Good job, Dumbyass and his idiot supporters!) WASHINGTON: Pakistan's truce with Taliban militants in its Waziristan region is aimed at winning back alienated local population, the country's foreign minister Khurshid Kasuri said on Sunday, amid growing concern in the US that the deal will be at the expense of US and Nato soldiers and will provide a free pass to Osama bin Laden and his cohorts. "I can understand why people are confused, but there's a time when not just brawn but brains are also needed,"Kasuri explained on CNN's Late Edition ahead of his military leader General Pervez Musharraf's 11-day stay in the US. "Sometimes what happens is that when you have acts of violence you end up alienating the local population." There is palpable confusion in the US about what critics are calling a Faustian bargain with terrorists. Despite Pakistan's claim that it has not ceded territory or authority in the region, ground reports indicate that Taliban may have a free run of Waziristan and it will use the time and space to regroup and attack western forces in Afghanistan, while sparing the Pakistani military. Reports from Pakistan quote Taliban leader Mullah Dadullah as saying he tried to convince the Pakistani Taliban that American troops and their allies be targeted instead of Pakistani troops. "My argument was that we should fight the US, UK and armies of other Western countries,"Dadullah was quoted as saying in the Pakistani media during a visit to Waziristan. That's exactly what western ground commanders and the American public fear, despite some Bush administration officials in Washington shilling for Pakistan and its deal. Pakistan's truce has been backed by US assistant secretary of state for South and Central Asia, Richard Boucher, who called it a "good effort".
