the problemo my dear is that your wish isnt worth more than shyt, what matters is what americans and Pakistanis can or will do.

eventually all the talibanic-forces will be buried under the dustbin of history..c

i don’t see any different policy towards desi or waleti taliban by Army.. at least from now on..

here right from the horse mouth,

After Afghan War 1979, due to change of policy Pakistan was left alone to deal with around 4 million afghan refugees, gun culture, narcotics proliferation, rise of Jihadis and religious militancy. FATA was being used as sanctuary by various warring Afghan warlords who were fighting for the piece of pie. Rise of Taliban and Al-Qaeda in Afghanistan further aggravated the problem. Non state actors emerged as a political force and terrorism surfaced as a major challenge. The event of 9/11 proved to be a turning point in galvanizing the world to combat this menace through unified and concerted efforts. Pakistan has been suffering from the effects of terrorism for over two decades, even before it became a global issue but the world has realized the magnitude of this problem only over the past few years. UN adopted anti terrorist resolution, which include the use of force, denial of safe heavens and the financing of terrorists. US formed a coalition of nations to fight the global war on terror and Pakistan joined the coalition for war against terrorism for its national interest.

Pakistani security forces entered into FATA in the year 2003 to prevent spillover of operations from Afghanistan into Pakistan and stop miscreants, deny use of territory for terrorist activities, open up hitherto no go areas and integrate FATA national mainstream. Taking advantage of the proximity of border, rugged terrain, semi autonomous nature of FATA, old Afghan war ties and common religious beliefs on both side some foreign elements and Taliban have found sanctuaries in FATA.
