Strange piece. He gives a good overview of the current situation, but subordinates it to the question raised in his title. He then answers it as Yes and also No!
Mullen never claimed that Kayani had given any deadline for going into N Waziristan, but Imtiaz Gul reads this in Mullen's statement. Then he quotes many generals saying, in effect, that they can't.
So, apart from providing a catchy title, the article really has nothing to do with this issue.
Great post! The truth, spoken from the heart.

An excellent essay on the subject - the best I've read.
