Hamid Karzai wants to change up the tactics

Well good for him, Iraq is to Afghanistan, as, -A day at the Water-slide Park is to "Deliverance" Okay? Well, that might be stretchin' it a bit, but the trVth is, Afghanistan is one hujongous region of bad-asses. -Bottom line for Karzai right now, HE NEEDS MONEY. I trust him with whatever he can get. He's not saying it, but he needs Paki help too. And Musharif has a tough time when he makes overtures to Afghanistan. As he does with India. Can the Pakistani people please just *evolve a little but faster? -Please?

*Excerpt*
Afghan President Hamid Karzai says the US and other international forces need to reconsider their approach to bringing peace to Afghanistan.
Violence largely blamed on the Taleban has claimed at least 1,000 lives this year - the worst toll since 2001.
He said there had to be a focus on "the sources of terrorism" where extremists get their training and inspiration.
Many Afghans will interpret that as meaning neighbouring Pakistan, from where militants often launch attacks.
Pakistan, meanwhile, has offered to build a fence along the border with Afghanistan to prevent the movement of militants.

In an interview with the BBC, Mr Karzai said the US military strategy since the fall of the Taleban had not failed, in spite of the recent increase in violence.
