KABUL, May 26 (Reuters) - The United States should target militant bases in Pakistan, an Afghan state-controlled paper said on Monday, reacting to a threat by a Pakistani Taliban leader to carry out attacks in Afghanistan.
Afghanistan and Pakistan, while both U.S. allies, have had strained relations, with Kabul accusing Islamabad of harbouring Taliban and al Qaeda militants and allowing them to direct and carry out attacks from Pakistani soil.
The Hewad newspaper called on Pakistan's government to review its stance on negotiations with the militants and not allow such deals to threaten Afghanistan."Similarly, the United States of America which heads now the international campaign against terrorism, needs to focus all its attention on the terrorists' genuine nests," the state-run daily said in an editorial, referring to militant bases in Pakistani tribal areas along the Afghan border.

America needs to line up the anti-Taliban and anti-al-Qaeda clans in both Afghanistan and Pakistan (greed is usually a factor with these guys) and blow the gee wiz out of the enemy.
Give a warning to their village supporters to choose life or death then BOOM.
I heard that the Sunni tribes were paid off to switch sides. The fact that al Qaida was killing people left and right probably helped too.
