The break-up of Pakistan is more likely to be a feature not a bug.

Organized around the principle that they are not Indian has proved to be a weak glue.

By misdirecting our strategy we have set the stage for an endless sequence of peripheral wars that after an ocean of tears and blood will not move us towards victory.

Playing the Great Game WRT AfPakistan in no way drives to the heart of this global conflict. Hence it is most wise to minimize our involvement and rank it as a secondary theatre of the war.

Ground Zero for WWIV is the Arabian Peninsula: KSA and Yemen in particular. OBL and his black guard are all Yemenis. The 15 out of 19 hijackers of 911 infamy were ethnic Yemenis traveling on KSA documents. Yemenis are the under-class of KSA. There is absolutely no border restrictions between Yemen and KSA. Hence operating AQ fronts in Yemen is the way to go.

The Royal Wahhabis have to be ejected and evicted.

Their Yemeni client state has to be purged of Wahhabis.

That H is still bowing to them means at least four more years of war.

It is essential that we do not get decisively engaged in peripheral campaigns. The financial bloodletting alone is reason enough. We need to keep our powder dry — not go off on some wild crusade.

You can’t fix stupid/ Pakistan.
