This will make Nawaz Sharif's job much easier. The "reluctant allies" scam is full on. The less TTP leaders the less Sharif has to negotiate.

Obama is serving notice that whatever deal the Taliban make with Pakistan and Afghanistan will have to satisfy the US as well.

IOW that's probably a negotiation response. "No, we're not really in favor of that one. Try again. Do better. Or die. Next?"

Oh, and so much for Obama's "soft negotiation." Looks pretty realpolitik to me. Don't be the one in charge if we don't like the proposal.

Obama seems to be a lot better at getting top terrorists than Bush. Twice as good, in fact, at the moment.
