Four of the top militant factions inside Pakistan have released a statement saying that they are all pledging an end to attacks on the Pakistani government’s forces and are instead going to unite in fighting against NATO’s troops in Afghanistan.

This is bad news for proponents of the War in Afghanistan... Are there even any left? With the NATO supply routes in Afghanistan still cut, this would make relations worse between Pakistan and the the US military. Any way you spin it, Violence will not stop in that country until we leave..and when we do it is going to look like a defeat. I'm, fairly certain that if the Afghan and Pakistani taliban have been able to endure this long, they arn't going to be beaten outright in another few years. The neocons are just going to have to swallow their pride and realize that this war is useless.
Again, Ron Paul is the only person Willing to both- stop our involvement in this conflict- AND get us out of the U.N.
