Taliban attacks on US forces enabled by Pakistan?

They have far more superior technology than terrorists they should not cry like that.
Of course they can do it...but wouldn't it be breaching your sovereignty. These raids will be the last resorts if Pakistan can't deliver what is expected. This hue and cry is for gaining international support for this type of raids....

Exactly what i said...they will pressurize Pakistan, and if Pakistan failed to do so, it will give them reason and international support to carry out special forces raids...

Let them carry out the special raids. How successful have they been in Afghanistan?

They know it quite well that they simply don't have the capacity to deal with the blowback from these raids. These raids will destabilize Afghanistan even more and will threaten to bring down the fragile so called democratic government in Afghanistan. The last thing the Americans want is a destabilized Afghanistan being ruled by Taliban and other local war lords. This threat is only meant for domestic consumption and just to pile pressure on Pakistan, nothing else.

I think US is breaching Pakistan's sovereignty every other day (Drone Attacks). Pakistan should do something to stop it.

What options dose Pakistan have to Stop Drone Attacks?

Pakistan is digging its own grave. Looks like world ends in 2012 dec for pakistan.

Another addition to the predictions of Nostradamus, I suppose! Look it up, it doesn't really predict the end Pakistan, it predicts the end of nations like india and israel.

what, do you expect the nato forces to man the WHOLE border along pakistan and ask for passports??

that would be strategically stupid.... hence why pakistan should go into the tribal areas and do something about them for once...

nato is busy in the whole country of afghanistan, and you terrorist helpers cant handle tribal areas?

WHAT ? Do you expect the Pakistan Army to guard whole of Durand Line ? :azn: ... A feat which the most technologically advanced army in the world cant accomplish :lol:

Really ? Do you know anything about the War in North West Pakistan its results and long term effects ? :azn:

Or just here to blame Pakistan for everything ? US should pack its bags and say " Good-Bye " now !

How much area of Afghanistan does your beloved NATO control ? Answer me that ...

“The fact that these guys can move trucks full of explosives across the border” is troubling, Dressler adds. “By not taking action, Pakistani forces “are signaling their tacit approval of this stuff.”[/B]

Taliban attacks on US bases in Afghanistan: enabled by Pakistani forces? - CSMonitor.com

AP sources: US mulls new covert raids in Pakistan - Yahoo! News
It is just as troubling that trucks full of explosives are able to enter Afghanistan undetected by NATO and Afghan forces, travel long distances withing Afghanistan, apparently bypassing all security posts and patrols by Afghan and NATO forces, and conduct attacks.

This obviously indicates that NATO and Afghan forces are complicit in the bombings occurring in Afghanistan - the sheer magnitude of the security and intelligence failure by NATO and Afghan forces is inexplicable otherwise.

They can't secure the border, they can't stop the movement of the insurgents, but they can surely make a difference when they attack the camps where these insurgent are trained, gets weapons and ammunition and shelter. That's why US wants Pakistan to attack on those camps which is on its soil....and that's why US has planned Special forces raid inside Pakistan coz of Pakistan is, either don't want to or can't do.

why dont you send indian army to secure the border

and where do the pakistani taliban get all the western weapons

so they must be crossing from afghanistan into pakistan also

How is that the US has not been able to take out these 'camps' with its drone strikes then? What have all these drone strikes accomplished if there all all these 'camps, shelters and weapons caches' that supposedly US Special Forces raids will destroy? Why have they already not been taken out by US drone strikes?

The truth is that the there is no large scale organized infrastructure along the lines being suggested in Waziristan, or it would have been destroyed already. How many drone strikes occurred in just the one week after the NATO Conference in Chicago? Yet there were some very spectacular a large scale Taliban attacks in Afghanistan after all those drone strikes.

How would US SF raids done any better (or do better in the future) than several missiles/PGM's launched from US drones?

Not that easy, its terrain is damn complicated, border is very porous which makes it very hard to stop these insurgents who know the area very well.

Funny, for a while there I thought you were speaking for Pakistan.
