Pakistan Cedes More Territory to Taliban/al-Qaeda

My Master Rusty Says, "The way I figure it, when Bill Roggio says something is important, I'm pretty sure he's right.

Via Bill Roggio: The Pakistani government is preparing to cede the Federally Administered Tribal Agency of Bajaur to the Taliban. Jan Aurakzai, the governor of the Northwest Frontier Province, has informed the media that a 'peace deal' fashioned after the Waziristan Accord is imminent, Dawn reports.
Bajaur has long been an al-Qaeda command and control center. The Taliban and al-Qaeda funnel their northern Afghanistan operations from Bajaur. Afghanistan's Kunar province, which sits just across the border from Bajaur, is one of the most violent provinces in Afghanistan.

1 I'm hoping NATO uses this as an invitation to go into Waziristan and eliminate the problem at the source.

2 But that I mean, if the area is so unimportant to the Pakistani's that they are willing to relinquish their sovereignty over it, then they shouldn't terribly mind of the coalition were to use the area for target practice.

3 This almost seems like a move by Pakistan to rid itself of this element, they know full well the U.S. will move in on the fuckers.

4 Steve:

That was my first hunch too. We'll probably find out if it's true before too long.

5 Maybe if they call it Talibanistan, we could then garner public support to bomb the hell out of it.

Not trying to be gloomy, but it could signal wholesale incapacity on the part of Pakistans government to really do anything about it. I'd like to think it's a green light for coalition forces, but it could be a sign of worse things. USA, all the way!
