Ilyas Kashmiri: Resurfaces in Pakistan (CLaimed killed last year)

Ilyas Kashmiri was/is a very important part of Al Qaeda, he serves as a leader in North Waziristan, that is why it was a big deal when several weeks after killing Bin Laden it was announced that we killed Kashmiri, his death was followed by Anwar Al-Awlaki.

Well today it is being reported that Kashmiri has been spotted by multiple journalist in Pakistan meeting with Taliban leadership.
If he is alive, this is a big fuck up, they just recently released 13 Bin Laden letters with several of them being sent to Kashmiri. The letters that were released were released because it was believed all parties involved in the letters had been killed since they were written.

That appears to not be the case now.

no what Im saying is that maybe we should relook the Bush policies of allowing Pakistan to make peace deals with the Taliban in North and South Waziristan, these were Pakistani journalist who have confirmed it was him, other problem is we haunt been doing nearly as many drone attacks since we blew up 26 Pakistani military almost 7 months ago. As of now this is going to be the lowest total of Drone strike in Pakistan for Obamas administration, right now they are on par to do 37 this year.

It should be noted that since I have posted this, they have announced a drone strike in North Waziristanaimed at the Haqqani network, they say 4 are dead, haven't confirmed if anyone important.

The real problem is that in 2003 when it became clear we weren't fucking with Afghanistan for a while, we were in Iraq. Pakistan signed truce agreements that Bush publicly acknowledged which in essence gave the Taliban a region to operate out of.
