The recent American mini-success is not because all of a sudden violence has ebbed but the fact the US Military eventually learned to use Sunnis against Shiites and Shiites against Sunnis in a strategic manner.

President elect Obama wants to take it a step further. He wants to use Iranian Shiites to go after the Sunni extremists in Afghanistan.

"Al-Quaeda is our enemy," on Obama adviser told the newspaper, referring to bin Laden "and he should be our principal target."

Iran, on Afghanistan's western border, has been kept at arm's length by the Bush administration, but should be considered in formulating a new Afghanistan strategy, a senior U.S. military official was cited as saying.

"As we look to the future, it would be helpful to have an interlocutor" to explore shared objectives, the official told the newspaper. The Iranians "don''t want Sunni extremists in charge of Afghanistan any more than we do," the official said.
