Al Qaeda No Longer in Afganistan

...according to General Petraeus.
"Though Petraeus said nobody can provide an accurate location for either terrorist, he said Al Qaeda senior leadership clearly is now rooted in the border region of western Pakistan."

"He said that the Taliban's effort to extend their territory beyond the northern Swat valley seems to have "galvanized all of Pakistan" against the group.

"There is a degree of unanimity that there must be swift and effective action taken against the Taliban in Pakistan," Petraeus said, warning of the dire consequences of a Pakistan defeat.

"This is not a U.S. fight that Pakistan is carrying out at this point ... This is a Pakistani fight, a Pakistani battle, with elements that as we've mentioned threaten the very existence of the Pakistani state."
Pakistan has nukes. Let all nations with any sense whatsoever rally around the Pakistani army and the duly elected Pakistan government. Will this change the tense relationship between Pakistan and India? Kinda hard to believe that Indians have no dog in this fight.

Why yes! Maybe it will.

I said it before and I'll say it again. God bless George Bush. He got the ball rolling.
