re: #338 Bagua

Many of them were not important 8 years ago. This has been a long conflict and is in a new stage.

The people in Gitmo are not “nobodies”, the unimportant ones have bee released or transferred. Those left are the hard core terrorists.

Again Concur. Moreover, Pakistan did not take the task of uprooting the Taliban seriously until last year. And it was only after the Taliban made a run on Islamabad in violation of a peace deal that Pakistan acted in earnest. These captures were in Pakistan and would not have happened in 2002 regardless. Pakistan could be told how grave the danger was, they had to experience it to believe.
