"The international community is losing the battle against the Taliban in Afghanistan, Pakistan's President Asif Ali Zardari has said.

The international coalition have already lost the battle for the "hearts and minds" of Afghanistan's people, he told the French newspaper Le Monde...

..."I believe that the international community, which Pakistan belongs to, is in the process of losing the war against the Taliban, and that is, above all, because we have lost the battle for hearts and minds," Le Monde quoted him as saying...

..."It is unfortunate that certain individuals continue to express doubts and fears about our determination to fight militants to the end," Mr Zardari said in a statement released before visiting the French foreign minister."

3. SHOCKED!!1!1!! Who could have possibly thought continuing

I'm tired of 3D chess. Can we move on to backgammon now? It might be more effective.

4. Think maybe someone would figure that these "Taliban" are....

really the old warlord structure they have had for a thousand years! But that would be too simple, and the money wouldn't be made by our patriotic Generals and military corporations. What a fucking racket for them, and a lonely journey for our grunt level troops!

5. There is only one way to go from here

Lay down our weapons and really begin helping people. Build schools, roads, infrastructure, Embracing the people is the way to get people on the side of peace. Shooting will never work. Seems pretty simple to me Mr President.

6. You are mistaken on a key point

tehrik at-talib overthrew and deeply offended the "old warlord structure they have had for a thousand years!"; the occupyers put the latter back in power.
