From The Left Coaster:
According to McClatchy Newspapers:
Senior Bush administration officials Thursday said they oppose plans by some Pakistani politicians to open talks with Islamic militants, saying that could lead to a repeat of a failed 2006 peace accord.
That accord "didn't really work," Deputy Secretary of State John Negroponte told a Senate committee. U.S. officials say the agreement gave al Qaida and other militant groups breathing space to regroup.
Assistant Secretary of State Richard Boucher, the State Department's point man on South Asia, was blunter.
"We've always found that a negotiation that's not backed by a certain amount of force can't really force out the bad guys," Boucher said in an interview on National Public Radio, referring to militants in the Pakistan-Afghanistan border region.
"Ultimately, it's the outcome that matters," he said.
Of course, all outcomes, under Bush favorite Musharraf's regime, led us to where we are today. Which is in need of better outcomes. Which pretty much defines where everything Bush has touched stands, today.
The two parties that triumphed in the Feb. 18 elections for the national parliament, however, have stressed the need for a political — rather than a military — solution to the insurgency.
Also, McClatchy reported on Tuesday that the smaller secular party that won the elections in Pakistan's Northwest Frontier Province plans to open talks with local Islamic insurgents allied with al Qaida.

Itchy and Scratchy!!
Yes it's over and the dawn of a new day. Pakistan is free of the terrorist Bush Administration. And they have Nukes too. Now the question is will a new American President make a difference in what happens. As the World watches to see will it be a Black man who will have to look to John Kerry and others to look and decide this mess, Hillary who like most woman has planned and positioned people or McCain who first order of business will be to bomb Iran. Americans will have to choose and if they choose wrong this will be the third strike and your out. We see our country in a recession and weak Military. Let's hope the voters aren't the one's ranked in that 24th of the lowest in education.
Yes, it is Itchy and Scratchy, Mr. Kitty.
Glad Pakistan woke up and smell the coffee on Bush.
Let's face it most of the countries bordering the out of control mess Bush has made are going to be loosing patience.
