This is the same foreign policy thats been on the news for 6 years, nothing new here. Its the same tactic we used with the The Afghan Northern Alliance, or United Islamic Front for the Salvation of Afghanistan and it worked out like a charm.

Same plan, same tactic...reconciliation with the Afghanistan goverment first.
