A political solution does not necessarily mean that you "negotiate" with al-Qaeda. It simply means that you look for ways to cut off their "oxygen" other than killing them outright. Why? Because the more you try to kill them, the stronger they grow.
In that context, it would for example have been a good idea to 1. really have taken absolute and effective control of ALL of Afghanistan quickly, and 2. meanwhile work extremely hard on a solution (political solution) for the tribal areas of Pakistan.
If added to that, a real initiative had been launched to solve the Palestinian issue, we could probably have been looking at a very different picture today.
The tribal areas are governed by the Taliban and al-Qaeda. How exactly is that in our interest? That is where bin Laden fled to and where he is most likely holed up now. If we had no hope of controlling Afghanistan or catching bin Laden, then why did we go there and stay there? We should just have dropped a few random bombs on Osama's camp and have gone home, in that case.
ETA: Rereading your post I see that you place the Tribal Areas in Afghanistan. I am talking about the Tribal Areas, so-called, in Pakistan.

McCain LOST???
MUCH better!
It gives the reader of your words the correct impression that you didn't dig what you heard and saw in the segment - and aren't fond of the anchor - but don't have any specific refutation of the actual CONTENT.
Thanks for clarifying.
McCain LOST???
