Pakistan has signed a deal with pro-Taleban militants on the Afghan border aimed at ending years of unrest.

The North Waziristan accord calls on tribesmen to expel foreign militants and end cross-border attacks in return for a reduced military presence.

I'm all for peace but ...wtf :angel:
I dont think this does the overall situation any good.
If anything, it motivates these militant groups.., and allows them to now focus on other areas in Afghanistan. Way-to-go Pakistan.

Considering the unstable position of afghanistan lately, and its increased violance, i'm wondering what "gifts" this will bring..

The agreement comes shortly ahead of a visit by President Pervez Musharraf of Pakistan to Afghanistan.

Relations between Kabul and Islamabad have been strained in recent months because of differences in tackling what both refer to as cross-border terrorism.

Afghan Foreign Minister Rangeen Dadfar Spanta said the peace deal in North Waziristan was not enough on its own.

"I believe this is a cardinal mistake to believe that Waziristan is the only centre of terrorist activity," he told the BBC.

"I think it is [in] a lot of other places in our region and a lot of organisations and also madrassas [religious schools], that they are the centre of terrorist activity."

when it comes to talking about pakistan i am a bit biased, but this deal certainly takes the cake. and mushy's bush's poster boy for fighting terror.
yesterday in a speech he made in afghanistan, mushy admitted that taliban and al-qaeda elements wander freely from pakistan into afghanistan and denied any 'role of his intelligence wing in encouraging them'........yeah,right!
i hear two southern afghan villages came into taliban control last week.....what are the US forces doing there?

cultivating opium?

more like using up all the cultivated opium and living in a self-deluding dream.

I'd be surprised if there were no trees there, but every bit of Afghanistan I've ever seen look like a shitty gravel quarry.
