Good News From Afghanistan and Pakistan

You know how Hillary and Obama say we must retreat from our winning fight in Iraq and send more troops to Afghanistan because the Taliban and al-Qaeda are regrouping? That's not exactly the case:

Pakistani forces have also been fighting the militants, based in semi-autonomous tribal regions along the border, who have unleashed an unprecedented wave of violence in Pakistan since the middle of last year.

"To some extent, the extremists in those areas are now fighting on two fronts," U.S. Assistant Secretary of State Richard Boucher told a news conference in Kabul.

"They have to deal with pressures from the Pakistan side and the pressure from the Afghan side. The more we can do that in concert with each other, the more squeezed the al Qaeda and Taliban supporters in those areas will feel," said Boucher who makes regular trips to both Pakistan and Afghanistan.

It's great news that Pakistan and Afghanistan have ironed out some of their differences and are working to eradicate the terrorists in concert. Pakistan knows that it will remain an international pariah unless and until it can control these elements within its own borders while Hamid Karzai knows that if they can pass back and forth between the two nations unimpeded, he'll never win.

Now's the time to increase the pressure as much as possible with an overwhelming show of force that's already in-country. The US military must hit them forcefully and repeatedly and not stop until every jihad-waging bastard is exterminated like a roach, it's the only thing that will make the jihadi's understand that we will not lose and we will not stop until we have won.

Perhaps someone can tell that to the Democrats.

Exit question: If Reuters is reporting this, wouldn't you suspect that things are going even better than they are portrayed by this piece?
