Occasional WEEKLY STANDARD contributor Daveed Gartenstein-Ross has posted his take on today’s report from the New York Times that al Qaeda has effectively regrouped in Pakistan’s North Waziristan tribal area. Gartenstein-Ross says it should come as little surprise “that the Waziristan Accord–which was signed on September 5, and was designed as a treaty between Pakistani president Pervez Musharraf and tribal leaders–‘had been a failure.'” He points to this WEEKLY STANDARD article on the Accord, which he coauthored with Bill Roggio back in October of 2006.
