Here is a good snap shot of the Global War on Terror that is occurring as we breathe in the AfPak Theatre. The snap shot is courtesy of the American Enterprise Institute’s (AEI) Outlook Series. The essence of the essay is that the Pakistan establishment as we know it could be in deep trouble. The reason: numerous Islamic terrorist organizations which include but are not limited to the Taliban and al Qaeda are winning the hearts of the Pakistani people. The red alert now is that Pakistan’s largest ethnic and province – Punjab – is being won to the cause of radical Islam.
Just another thing to keep in the back of your mind as you peruse the essay is that General Stanley McChrystal has publicly aired dissatisfaction with the Obama Administrations civilian prosecution of the AfPak War Theatre. After you read this, you should feel McChrystal’s frustration.
