THE SOONER WE RECOGNIZE THE INDEPENDENT STATE OF WAZIRISTAN...:

Musharraf meltdown? (Arnaud de Borchgrave, September 17, 2007, Washington Times)

Some 80,000 Pakistani soldiers manning the nonexistent border between the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) and Afghanistan have stood down, but no one knows who gave the order or whether they are even taking orders.

Taliban and al Qaeda terror training camps are up and running again with the acquiescence — or impotence — of the Pakistani army. That's the word by satellite phone from this reporter's sources in Miranshah and Wana, the capital towns of North and South Waziristan.

...the sooner we can start bombing it.
