Telegraph: Reports that al-Qaeda could have a safe heaven in the Swat Valley in Pakistan. If al - Qaeda can develop bases in Pakistan proper then the War in Afghanistan gets ten times worse. As the Telegraph states the terrorists would have access to modern travel and communication, at least before the terrorists had to hide in deep caves. Thus the minutes, hours, days developments in Pakistan should be a constant concern for the Obama White House. What if the Army supports the Taliban, what if the Taliban/Terrorists get hold of nuclear weapons. Iraq defined Bush 43, Pakistan will define Obama Presidency. All the options are bad, lets hope Obama can find the less bad option, so far Obama does not fill one with confidence.
