Questions number one: when did al-Qaeda leave Afghanistan?
New Recruit
We have a saying among the legionnaires deployed in afghanistan."For every terrorist you kill, six more are made". Terrorist shortage was never a problem for us. Infact they always have a surplus to meet the demand. Even when the foreign forces landed, taliban, al qaeda were already well dug in . The militants were well established in pakistan territory as well. Not to mention supply lines to militant via central asia and pak.
Questions number one: when did al-Qaeda leave Afghanistan?
The terrain on either side just cannot seal this long border and that is a hard fact and all must realise this geographical aspect. No border in history has ever been sealed when you have determined people to cross it. Secondly, why are we talking about returning to Afghanistan. They are already there. They just need to get out and catch them with their high tech equipment.

its not pakistan's fault your native country(afghanistan)is a failiure.
go begg somewhere else for sympathy.
take your ungrateful refugees with you.
What a waste of efforts and tax payers money.
One this is sure that immediately after carpet bombings Pakistan captured all prized al-qaeeda.
How disappointing for those who want al-qaeeda to roam freely.
After Pakistani efficiency US authorities reconsider their approach and now do not offer reward for capturing al-qaeeda.
Instead it is discouraged in the shape of TTP, floods, earth quake, holding back operational expenses.
You are a mod.. why not read the forum history to get your answer which has been given thousand times.
Even if you would have read the short history of this current thread, you wouldn't have been asking such smart questions.

I would suggest that your revise your history. In fact learn it altogether from scratch.
Carpet bombing in Swat would have mean political suicide for the Pakistan Army.
The appraoch was to secure the peaks, descend and take the valleys.
Secondly, besides a couple of the TTP leadership, a large chunk of it has still not been nabbed, as admitted by the Pakistan Army itself. Most managed to flee as the army moved in. They are dispersed all over the province and the task at hand is to prevent them from regrouping.
The US has softened it's approach towards the al-Qaeda in Afghanistan and it's now engaged in talks with them through third party. Officially teh administration denies that but leaked reports, printed in the Western media only, clearly indicate that the Taliban cannot be ignored when it comes to establishing peace in the region.
The US, if you care to look at the map, has been unable to take hold of Taliban strongholds. Hence, my question, when did al-Qaeda leave Afghanistan holds.
The U.S. has taken the district of Marjah in Helmand, a former Taliban stronghold. They are also in a major operation right now in Kandahar to clear Taliban logistics and supplies from there.
Elmo sir, you seem to be very knowledgeable for the current situation, can i please ask you why the Pakistani army has been unable to recapture the large 'chunks' of land? Just asking out of curiosity...

Which large chunks of land are you referring to?

Pakistani army has done a terrific job of defeating Al Qaeda forces, the question is, can the Afghan army stand up to the task of fighting them?
