I just read this report from the New Republic. I’m posting a link here now and pointing it out so that I can refer to it later.
I realize that it creates a catch-22 for the Bush administration, but if they are applying added pressure to Pakistan now because of the election and it produces the capture or demise of Bin Laden, Zawahiri or Omar before the end of the summer, it’s the height of cynical politics. They should’ve been pressing Pakistan for the last two and a half years instead of focusing so much attention on Iraq. For some reason, this report in particular really pisses me off, but doesn’t surprise me in the least.
