The news that the apparent truce is off between the Pakistani government and the tribal areas of Waziristan that shelter Taliban and al Qaeda fighters is ominous. Clearly, they see the Musharraf government as weak and temporary. The Preznit's foolish decision to pull troops out of Afghanistan to attack Iraq before the Taliban and al Qaeda were completely defeated is coming back to haunt them. And, unlike Iraq or Iran, Pakistan is armed with nuclear weapons, with dubious controls over them.
Given this Assministration's record, with al Qaeda strengthening in the Afghan-Pakistani frontier, we'll be launching a military attack on. . . . .Iran. Or Syria. Or Lebanon.
