An Indirect Strategy for Sanctuary Defeat

<p>The thesis of this paper is that US must pursue a strategy that works with Pakistan to stabilize their regional security concerns in order to allow it confidence to adjust tribal area policies. Once Pakistan is less concerned with its regional security environment than its internal security environment it will be able to conduct a successful counterinsurgency campaign to eliminate the sanctuary. This paper frames the basic components of an interagency strategy to accomplish this goal.</p><p>This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
