I don't know if its a COG or a POB (Point of Blame), but I say shift the focus to the conduct of a Constitutional Loya Jirga with full participation by both sides of this little fracus in attendance (with safety guaranteed by ISAF and no one being deemed "beyond the pale" by ISAF or GIRoA). This is political. Fix the politics and the rest will fall in place. As to ISAF they need to transition to a role of keeping both sides honest for some period of time, and then fade away altogether.
