Wow, this is a surprising development, less emphasis on the Taliban more on Al Queda in PAKISTAN. The numbers I heard were like a 100 Al Q in Afghan and thousands in Pakistan. As the primary target has always been Al Q I can see the logic in focusing our efforts there (Pakistan).

It's leaves me sad for the Afghan people though, the Taliban are SO brutal, so radical. But countries and the world are filled with evil people, corruption and suffering. We simply do not have the resources to address all of it. Reality is, we may to accept the fact that the Taliban will have a say in the Afghan Government, that really stinks.
