The recent incursions and the fightback of the taliban in waziristan after the pak army had to pull out of those areas previously, is raising some serious questions about pakistan's ability to suppress them this time around. The last retreat was seen as a defeat by many pakistanis themselves and if pak fails to curtail them, then surely the US threat wouldn't be just election rhetoric and pak could find itself in much the same way as iraq or afghanistan has. what's ur views.
