Pakistan thumbs nose at Bush Doctrine.

Let the spinning begin.

The government of Pakistan signed a peace accord Tuesday with pro-Taliban forces in the volatile tribal areas bordering Afghanistan, agreeing to withdraw its troops from the region in return for the fighters' pledge to stop attacks inside Pakistan and across the border.

What happened to that whole with-us/against-us thing?

A withdrawal of Pakistani forces could reduce pressure on al-Qaeda figures believed to be hiding in the region, including Osama bin Laden, allowing them more freedom of action.

Can't wait for the pro-Bush lipstick on this pig from Putz, if he addresses it all. Stay tuned.
