Dear PCG, have 100,000+ forces of US and whole Europe cleaned Afghanistan from these people after 7 years with most high tech weapons and ammunition.Pakistani Government is not showing will,what NATO/US will power result we have seen in Afghanistan after long 7 years that they have only 20% of Afghanistan under control ! If you think by force you can eliminate them,its your fault.Did British eliminated IRA by force.
Plz. ponder over Afghans history of 2000 years and remember gun is not solution of anything, you have to come to table :)
You give Afghans far to much credit. Personally sick of this nonsense. These people are not supermen.
Ponder this, the only reason they won against the Russians was because they had a safe base of operations in Pakistan, they had the full support of the CIA, ISI and others including the Saudis etc.
Infact, its a well known fact that the real turning point in the Russo-Afghan war was the introduction of the Stinger missle.
The reason for the inability of Nato and Americans currently has nothing to do with any supposed superiority of Afghan fighters.
One, Bushies adventure in Iraq took resources out of Afghanistan and allowed the Taliban space to regroup.
Second, like always, Taliban terrorists have a relatively safe haven in Pakistans FATA.
Had the US pursued these terrorists into Pakistan, they would have had no place left to run.
Third, Musharafs double game which allowed these people space to regroup.
Last, the corruption and ineptitude Afghan govt which makes the Taliban look like a better alternative every passing day.
