    Paki the way of Afghan?

    The paradigm forms.
    USA are not fighting a loosing war in Paki.

    USA is not fighting a war in Paki at all,
    USA is running a heavy harassing operation in Paki.

    The paradigm is suggesting that the Taliban and Paki
    Government are indeed in league.

    The circumstantial evidence is mounting.

    The fourth largest army int world ( the Paki Army )
    can't defeat the Taliban, maybe 20,ooo TRAINED 
    insurgents, rest are part time.
    Paki Army has almost 500,00
    troops.

    And the Paki Government just seceded SWAT to
    the Taliban.

    The links between ISI and the Taliban, and connections
    USA has discovered.

    The requests by the Paki Government to end Drone strikes.

    And now the MUMBAI attacks and a trail leading back to the Paki Army.
    Col R Sadatullah.

    Our paradigm Intel says USA Intelligence community has used
    the connection to the USA's advantage and to the determent of al Qaeda.

    How can a force defeat an terrorist group in a state , Paki,
    where the Government is supporting the Insurgency with arms, training and intelligence?

    When one of my Recon teams brought the Intel to me
    My first thought was Nutz.
    If the Governent and the Military and Intelligence are working with
    the Talbi, then the GWOT just got a lot more difficult.

    Or were these just normal penetrations like the CIA and FBI have had?

      It continues to look like Paki Government
      won't request American boots on Paki
      ground till the Paki Government is hit 
      in a coup d’état by the Taliban.

      This will be an emergency Military 
      assistance request, because of the Nuclear WMD,
      NATO and USA need to have forces ready to go
      when the request comes.
      It will be an EMERGENCY.
    Most of the People in Paki do not want the Taliban in control.
    The people of Pakistan are under siege for what 10 yrs now?
    The people currently want some relief, from war.
    And the Taliban continue to kill Musilm leaders and tribal chiefs.

    How did the Taliban come to such power?

    The Taliban initially enjoyed enormous good will from Afghans weary of the corruption, brutality, and incessant fighting of Mujahideen warlords. Two contrasting narratives explain the beginnings of the Taliban.[17] One is that the rape and murder of boys and girls from a family traveling to Kandahar or a similar outrage by Mujahideen bandits sparked Mullah Omar and his students to vow to rid Afghanistan of these criminals.[18] The other is that the Pakistan-based truck shipping mafia known as the "Afghanistan Transit Trade" and their allies in the Pakistan government, trained, armed, and financed the Taliban to clear the southern road across Afghanistan to the Central Asian Republics of extortionate bandit gangs.[19]

    Alhough there is no evidence that the CIA directly supported the Taliban or Al Qaeda, some basis for military support of the Taliban was provided when, in the early 1980s, the CIA and the ISI (Pakistan's Interservices Intelligence Agency) provided arms to Afghans resisting the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, and the ISI assisted the process of gathering radical Muslims from around the world to fight against the Soviets. Osama Bin Laden was one of the key players in organizing training camps for the foreign Muslim volunteers. The U.S. poured funds and arms into Afghanistan, and "by 1987, 65,000 tons of U.S.-made weapons and ammunition a year were entering the war."[20]

    The Taliban were based in the HelmandKandahar, and Uruzgan regions and were overwhelmingly ethnic Pashtuns and predominantly Durrani Pashtuns.[21]

    The first major military activity of the Taliban was in October-November 1994 when they marched from Maiwand in southern Afghanistan to capture Kandahar City and the surrounding provinces, losing only a few dozen men.[22] Starting with the capture of a border crossing and a huge ammunition dump from warlord Gulbuddin Hekmatyar, a few weeks later they freed "a convoy trying to open a trade route from Pakistan to Central Asia" from another group of warlords attempting to extort money.[23] In the next three months this hitherto "unknown force" took control of twelve of Afghanistan's 34 provinces, with Mujahideen warlords often surrendering to them without a fight and the "heavily armed population" giving up their weapons.[24] By September 1996 they had captured Afghanistan's capital, Kabul.


    Sound familiar? Taliban, Pakistan?

    I think we have summarized their strategy.
    Swat is under their belt now.

    Now what are the counters?
