Excuse me, but here is the topic for this thread:

This is really, really bad news, as Pakistan capitulates to Taliban terrorists.

PESHAWAR, Pakistan – Pakistan agreed Monday to suspend military offensives and impose Islamic law in part of the restive northwest, making a gesture it hopes will help calm the Taliban insurgency while rejecting Washington’s call for tougher measures against militants.

A U.S. defense official called the deal “a negative development,” and some Pakistani experts expressed skepticism the truce would decrease violence. One human rights activist said the accord was “a great surrender” to militants.

This didn’t happen during the Bush administration.

And I didn’t write this and it got 25 up dings. I’m pretty sure Charles wrote it, and I will defer to him for knowledge of the issue.

The two paragraphs in the middle are a quote, friend. From the article Charles linked to. So are the two I quoted - from the same article.

You can pick up your brain at the hat check on the way out.
