Flagging the houses they are in with bounty's on their heads. They will kill the Taliban to live their own way.

We should get out. Lashkars have formed in Pakistan to kill the Taliban and keep the tribal lands the way they were under the Pakistan Government not sharia law. We should get out of Afghanistan and let them live as they will. The idiots in charge of us should have known from the get go Afghanistan has never been defeated and will not be by us!jmsjoinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17631105639275375922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15216381.post-92202373230139707942009-10-06T12:46:31.797-07:002009-10-06T12:46:31.797-07:00I'm reading that Pakistani tribes might be fig...I'm reading that Pakistani tribes might be fighting the Taliban, but the the Military is concerned about the US involvement on the Pakistan side of the border, not just military but contractors. The Pakistani Taliban is vowing to fight the US in Pakistan.<br /><br />General James L. Jones said fighting the Taliban in Pakistan was "the next step" in the war in Afghanistan.<br /><br />Good article in the NYT yesterday by Jane Perlez on the resistance from Pakistani's on the increasing US movement in Pakistan.Holte Enderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10356437917387847542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15216381.post-35454412150047300102009-10-06T10:06:48.185-07:002009-10-06T10:06:48.185-07:00This definitely is beating a dead horse Jim.

The northern part of Pakistan is a tribal area and even the Pakistan government must get a pass to enter it. They may say they're for a central government but I think it's more like a tribal turf war. The Taliban and Al Qaeda were looked upon as heros there for kicking out the Russians out of Afghanistan.<br />Yes I'd agree we need to get out of this situation but how? If we leave it'll be "cut and run" and if we stay it will be Vietnam all over again. The Pakistanis won't let us set up camp there to finish the job. Pakistan just took the money we gave them 6.6 billion to do this job and spent it on other things. Does that sound like somebody who's serious?Demeurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01935263659097273535noreply@blogger.com
