^ taliban controlling islamabad is just laughable. Like I said before, a grand total of 10K ill equipped foot soldiers dont stand a chance against a huge army stationed right next to islamabad, not to mention the population of the twin cities. These absurd theories belong in 9-0. These talibans can only fight in the mountains, not in plains. The pak army may not be designed for the mountains, but are invincible against a small amount of insurgency in plains and the taliban know that very well.
Not if the taliban are successful in turning the peasant and laborer class of the country to their side through hook or crook. I see his war being fought in every city and town in pakistan.
