This entire post if factually incorrect. The effectiveness of Pakistan's military campaign against the Taliban can be judged by the fact that Pakistan has secured almost the entire territory that was once thought to be Taliban Central, rangin from Bajaur in the North to Banu in the South. The only part remaining is North Waziristan which will be dealt with as soon as resources allow. Secondly, the reason why the insurgency persists, albeit as a shadow of it's former self is because counter-insurgency is a time consuming process, Sri Lanka is a small, isolated island but it took them 26 years to get rid of the LTTE. Pakistan once had to contend with a major terrorist incident each week, which is now down to one every 4 months and God-Willing it will only drop further. As for Tribal Support for the Taliban, I would like to ask you, have you ever been to the Tribal areas? Or maybe even met with a Tribal? With almost every tribe raising a Lashkar to fight the Taliban, I think you have very little substance to back up your claim that they support the Taliban, the truth is that they hate the Taliban more than anyone else because they are the ones that have suffered most at their hands. As for the Lal Masjid Operation, It was good we got that out of the way. No one can be allowed to set up a parallel state within our nation's capital and run a terrorist hotel right under our noses.
PS: I just remembered a reference to the Taliban being motivated, if targeting 14 year old girls is being motivated. Then I'm very happy that I'm not.....
