most interesting lines are these of course

Some officials in the Obama administration have not ruled out incorporating the Haqqani network in an Afghan settlement, though they stress that President Obama’s policy calls for Al Qaeda to be separated from the network. American officials are skeptical that that can be accomplished

sigh - these yanks are like the Bourbons truly. learn nothing - and forget nothing!
