I have good news and bad news

The good news is:
(JAMESTOWN.ORG SUB-REQ)- Gulbuddin Hekmatyar, a veteran Afghan rebel and leader of the Hezb-i-Islami Party, has issued a statement asking members of the Pakistani gulbuddin_hekmatyar.jpgTaliban to refrain from crossing the border to join the jihad in Afghanistan. The statement was issued by fax on June 24 (Afghan Islamic Press, June 25).
The bad news?
According to Hekmatyar, the Pakistani Taliban could be far more useful to the Afghans by pursuing jihad within Pakistan and attacking Coalition supply-lines that carry military and logistical equipment through Pakistan's North-West Frontier Province to the Khyber Pass. "The entire nation of Afghanistan is ready to take part in the holy war against the U.S. occupiers, just the way they fought the Russians. If we have problems, it is only logistical problems."

Yadda, yadda, yadda, you head sawing, bomb planting, moron.
It should be OBVIOUS after the way things have gone in Iraq, with Al Qaeda crushed that they cannot survive as anything but individual spittle foaming lunatics with semtex unless they have the shelter of a organized nation state.
As Hekmatyar recognizes, Pakistan is that nation state.

Pakistan must face the result on the battlefield, and accept its responsibility and destroy their nascent terror state in the NW Territories, along with civil support for it.
If Pakistan does not do this, Al Qaeda will survive to eventually strike again in organized, long throw fashion.

Pakistan has to face the music.
Failure to act as a civilized nation (i.e. not allowing mass murderers to have a private army based on religious lunacy to carry out mass murders in another nation because YOU fear them), despite any other reasoning MUST result in the HARSHEST of sanctions, no matter what results.
There is no way out for anyone except through to the other side.

Afghanistan is landlocked except (for us) through Pakistan. If they will not do what is right, then sooner or later that route for NATO's men, women and supplies will be closed except by air, as the ISI corrupted deobandi loons drive the nation to become GAZA II with nukes.
