[quote] Sen Brrack H. Obama:
"There are terrorists holed up in those mountains who murdered 3,000 Americans," Obama told the Woodrow Wilson Center on Wednesday. "If we have actionable intelligence about high-value terrorist targets and President Musharraf won't act, we will.
I don't think I will have many who will agree,but I think he is right on the money as far as what he's saying.
We started to go after the people responsible for 9/11 and never finished,pouring all our effort and money into Iraq.
If Osama is alive most agree that he is in Pakistan around the Central Brahui Range. There are around 40 million Sunni Muslims in the Pastun population in this area.
26M in Pakistan and 13M in Afghanistan they are a largest segmentary lineage society....close family.
An old Arab saying expresses this idea: "Me against my brothers, me and my brothers against my cousins, me and my cousins against the world."
Gen. Musharraf cut a deal with the Pastun tribes long ago,but now Al-Qaeda is calling for his head...being born in India he will never be excepted by the Pastuns.
Like Sen. Obama is saying we need to direct our attention toward Pakistan and clean up the Pustun Al-Qaeda and find whats left of bin-Laden,before they overthrow Musharraf and aquire nuclear force.
