Pakistan is ready to launch an operation against Taliban safe havens in the mountains of North Waziristan to coincide with a Nato offensive in Kandahar, following a meeting with senior American officials.
With each side worried that their efforts will be futile if the other side of the border isn't addressed, we seem to have gotten past that cause of hesitation and restraint. We now need to keep both America/NATO and Pakistan on the line, so the jihadis can't retreat and regroup.
Maybe the defeat of the Pakistan and Afghan Taliban along with their al Qaeda allies will yet represent the last jihad.
