The terrorists aren't using hideouts anymore, they're operating directly from their houses. Where they have their wives and children. Hitting them there isn't possible, you can only hunt them when they're outside looking for you. At most you can spy on their hideouts via HUMINT or aerial ISR, or by bugging the whole place.
You can kill them when they're out looking to ambush you, you can kill them when they're planting bombs (route monitoring techniques) and occasionally in IBOs.
Need leverage.
First move 300k troops into NWFP with tanks.
Push up to the border to squeeze them back into Afghanistan.
Then get the big boys out, not the mortars, get the heavy bombs out and fire a warning shot at Kunar/Nuristan on the outskirts. Lay down your arms. No response, get closer and closer.
For this to work you need full coverage in NWFP, the sleeper cells no doubt will wake up when they hear news and that's when you get them.
