Why would Karzai press for such a deal if he is really an ally? Why
would Obama agree to it? "Obama’s deal with Karzai bans raids on
al-Qaida bases in Pakistan," by Neil Munro for The Daily Caller, May 4 (thanks to all who sent this in):
President Barack Obama has promised not to attack Pakistan-based al-Qaida leaders or fighters from bases inside Afghanistan.
The surprising commitment effectively bars Obama and his successors
from launching another nighttime helicopter raid like the one that that
killed Osama bin Laden. That raid has proven to be Obama’s primary
foreign-policy success because it killed bin Laden, scooped up much
intelligence data and shocked Pakistan.
