Army and Taleban- on the same side?

@Spock

We have other means to take out 200-300 insurgents rather than going to a full scale war, which can quite possibly result in a full scale civil war and the split of the country. It has happened before too. Despite what you say, these unhappy refugees wont have any praise for the Pak Govt, and their generations to come will have a miserable future thanks to this displacement and will grow up and become future talibs.

You mean there are only 200-300 Taliban in Swat area?

@Khehkeshan

The fault lies with the military. It cannot and does not know how to fight a counter insurgency and refuses to take training from the US because of self inflated ego. No wonder it is failing so badly and has never won a war in history.

If the army cannot defeat taliban, it should be dismantled and superior forces should take charge.

Training from US for counter insurgency fighting? You got to be kidding, they are still a big failure in Afghanistan. They have no clue how to fight insurgencies, they only know drones or buckets of $$$.
