Actually swatis were getting uncomfortable with continued presence of army despite of peace. They were asking "operation tou khatam hogaya hey, taliban bi nahi hain, yey fauji jatay kyun nahi".....
Lets be honest civilians become uncomfortable with presence of so many "alert" faujis in the area, kashmiris feel the same in india.
But there is another point....swatis are non-traditional pakhtuns, no tradition of jirga and lashkar, notion of warrior race doesnt apply to them....they easily went into the hands of Mullah fazlulah men, most of taliban were outsiders....then army had to rescue these teddy bears, and after military operation i have seen them whining about damages inflicted on their swat by army operation....they can not take care of themeselves so a small army cantontment need to built in swat.
