the operations are ongoing in Khyber because the army always leaves some area for the terrorists to escape to, where they do not follow them… Its like putting out a fire in a house, but always leaving a few embers behind, so that as soon as your leave the entire thing reignites.

This is why the Army strategy has been such a failure. They arent fighting the menace, they are only trying to contain it.. In Swat they were smart and did the right thing, so the potential for an effective anti terrorism strategy is there, but for whatever reason the Army isnt doing its job.

the army is bogged down in the areas, even those which they have cleared in the past. The problem will not be resolved until every one performs their job. The army’s basic responsibility is to guard the borders, which they can’t do under current circumstances obviously. If police and IB do their roles, army and ISI can complement that and ensure the areas remain peaceful.
