Obama needs to get over there and apologize to the Taliban, get a book from one of their leaders, everything will be OK.

Looks like they are advocating a new 'division' focused explicitly on Pakistan that our previous peace time efforts do not work now. So I guess we could have 3 'conflict' going on, Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan. That the Pakistan police are not able to handle the situation because we gave all the support to Pakistan military. "Focus on protecting the population and not chasing the bad guys"

Sounds like a win over the people type approach.

I don't think there is military solution for the US in Pakistan, we can't afford to occupy another country. It's up to the Pakistani military, since the civilian government is powerless.
