Obama's a long way off from that path, readers....
"Our strategy reflects a fundamental truth. The security of Pakistan, Afghanistan, and the United States are linked"

How about recalling and shutting down the "Al-CIA-Duh" teams first?
"Obama presses 2 leaders on Al Qaeda fight; Meets Afghan, Pakistan heads; Links security of all 3 nations" by Helene Cooper, New York Times | May 7, 2009
WASHINGTON - Confronting a deteriorating situation in Afghanistan and Pakistan, President Barack Obama said yesterday that the United States is deeply committed to helping the two countries defeat Al Qaeda and its extremist partners and in helping democracy endure and flourish.
Bushspeak!
Please see: Occupation Iraq: Tortured Logic and related links for why I no longer believe reports about "Al-CIA-Duh" or anything else the agenda-pushing, war-promoting, Zionist AmeriKan war press has to report about Muslims!!
"No matter what happens, we will not be deterred," Obama said during an appearance in the White House grand foyer after meeting with President Asif Ali Zardari of Pakistan and President Hamid Karzai of Afghanistan. "Every day, we see evidence of the future that Al Qaeda and its allies offer. It's a future filled with violence and despair."
Obama's remarks came as the deaths of dozens of Afghan civilians in western Afghanistan, from what Afghan officials and villagers said were American air strikes, served as a reminder that deep problems in the region extend beyond Pakistan, the most recent American focus.

Btw, Obama NOW JOINS George W. Bush as a MASS-MURDERING WAR CRIMINAL!!!!!
Obama expressed deep US regret for the civilian casualties, promising "every effort" to avoid recurrences, while stopping short of accepting US blame for the deaths....
Asshole!!!!
And I KNOW a WAY to stop recurrences:
QUIT DROPPING MISSILES and BOMBS on their INNOCENT HEADS!!!!

Pakistani officials told their American counterpart this week that they were moving large numbers of troops toward the western border with Afghanistan, which American officials described as encouraging. But it remains a question whether the troop movements are real or token, and some of Obama's senior aides caution that Pakistan's military is ill suited to carry out the kind of counterinsurgency operations needed to rout the Taliban fighters from their control of Swat, in the North-West Frontier Province, and to keep them from infiltrating again or shifting to another region.
Yeah, so we will have to get in there at some point.
I'm so sick of the agenda-pushing, folks!
"They're fundamentally not organized, trained, or equipped for what they've been asked to do," said a senior administration official who spoke on condition of anonymity to avoid offending the visiting Pakistani leaders. "They will displace the Taliban for a while. But there will also be a lot of displaced persons and a lot of collateral damage. And they won't be able to sustain those effects or extend the gains geographically."
Yeah, there has been a lot of that: Waziristan War Report
The focus yesterday at the White House, the American officials told reporters, was on ways that Afghanistan and Pakistan, both unstable and strategically vital, could work with each other, and with the United States, to fight the militants who plague both countries. "Our strategy reflects a fundamental truth," Obama said. "The security of Pakistan, Afghanistan, and the United States are linked."
