Kerry on the war on terror

This is my chief gripe with Bush. Why isn't our ally, Pakistan, letting us into the provinces? Why has Bush began saying bib Laden is marginalized? There's something very rotten going on in Pakistan and I can't put my finger on it. Our ally should be giving us unbridled access. We should be testing all sorts of horrific weapons on militants in the provinces and running assassination squads on AQ in the larger Pakistani cities. I know we'll never hear about the latter, but why are we not doing the former?

Some blogger, and I can't remember which one, was suggesting that the smartest move for the Pakistani government would be to quitely kill bin Laden and hide the body. That way, they've fulfilled their mission on an international scale, but they don't get the backlash from home. More of the population there, it seems, sympathizes with bin Laden than the US.
