If the Haqqani network ain't terrorist, then there ain't no such thing as a terrorist. That they happen to be sponsored by the Pakistani ISI (and, back in the day, if perhaps no longer, the US's CIA) just makes them that much worse. If Petraeus, after McChrystal, wishes to tell a bit of the truth about Obama's War, more power to him! Especially if it frustrates the plot to establish that scum as part of a "respectable" (ie., ISI-controlled) Afghan government. The way to peace is to get out, and get out now.
