US policy regarding Pakistan and the war against terrorism has slowly evolved to the acknowledgement that to defeat the Taliban and Al Qeda, you first needed to box them as we have done on the western side of the Afgan-Pakistan border, the Pakistans have boxed them in from the East and now the policy is to attrite the Taliban and Al Qeda forces, slowly, each and every day through the use of asyemtrical means...drones and special operations.
