I think we should call them all together in one place .. I will go to sign this deal myself ..

Though I am sure that we will be highly successful in finishing those Bastards I am really pessimistic for the future. I am not really getting US strategy. Mullen And Schloesser have already mentioned that their fights with the taliban could lead to the development that the Talibans flee from Afghanistan to Pakistan. It is like they are all getting replenishment if they are short of insane Taliban. So we have to attack the root and establish a border which doesn't allow to let the Taliban come to Pakistan.

Taliban under pressure​

A report from the battle zone in Swat says the Taliban appear to be running short of money, men and weapons. They are seeking “a fighter from each family, a Kalashnikov, or a 50,000 rupees donation”. The report has emanated from Kanju, located south of Mingora with access to the Kabal and Matta tehsils. It says the Taliban held a jirga with the residents of the Hazara area in Kabal tehsil in a mosque on Saturday and told them they were running short of ammunition and also needed guns, and urged the people not to leave for safer places.

In Mingora itself where the Taliban committed unforgivable atrocities on the local inhabitants, the message from the warlord Fazlullah is that he has decided not to take on the Pakistan Army because he wanted to prevent the killing of the local population in collateral damage. Admitting that his men had left Mingora, he however attributed it to the humanitarian urge of his warriors. But the people of Mingora know him very well. Back in the camps of Mardan and Swabi they recall that “foreigners” who could not speak Pashto were used by Fazlullah to behead innocent people.

The people of Mingora have also seen that the man who took an active part in the lynching of innocent people at a square of the city has been put to death by the Pakistan Army. Many killers have been arrested and taken away. The Taliban can win easily against ordinary unarmed citizens; they tend to start melting away when faced by the Army. The operation in Swat has exposed the vulnerabilities of the Taliban elsewhere too. Forced to mobilise on a big scale in South Waziristan, Mohmand and Orakzai, they have had to expose their Uzbek and Arab warriors to the Pakistan Army, resulting in their capture. Knowledge of their tactics by now should enable us to predict their behaviour.

The Taliban will melt away. They will begin recovering from the shock they have received from the Army. The trend of kidnappings will become strong to fill the fast-emptying kitty of the Taliban warlord. Funds will be sought from the Arabs in the Gulf who think that the Taliban are busy defeating the Americans in Pakistan. And more weapons will be inducted into the region. Now is the time to broaden and intensify the war against the Taliban and not give them time to regroup and come back again.

Mingora to be cleared of Taliban within three days

PESHAWAR: Pakistan vowed Wednesday to wipe out the Taliban from Swat’s main town of Mingora within three days, as fierce fighting raged during a month-long offensive to crush the insurgents.

Around 2.4 million people have fled fighting as soldiers struggle to wrest back the northwest Swat and two nearby districts from the Taliban, who advanced last month to within 100 kilometres of Islamabad.

The military said 12 suspected militants and one soldier were killed in the last 24 hours in the Swat valley, where a two-year Taliban uprising had crushed the tourism industry and effectively imposed sharia law.

In Mingora, the military said troops carried out house-to-house searches, while clashes in the area left eight insurgents dead.

‘Mingora city will be cleared of militants in next 2-3 days,’ it announced in a daily briefing update on the offensive.

Security officials said earlier that two soldiers were killed when a roadside bomb hit their vehicle near Mingora.

Clashes also rocked Kabal and Kanju towns, within 25 kilometres of Mingora, a security official told AFP.

‘Severe fighting is continuing in Kabal town. Militants are resisting in various parts of town,’ he said.

‘It was a little bit calm in Mingora. There are reports of firing but militants are retreating from different parts of the city. Troops are busy clearing roads and streets of mines and bombs.’
The military says around 1,200 militants and 76 soldiers have died in the onslaught, launched in the districts of Lower Dir on April 26, Buner on April 28 and Swat on May 8, but those tolls cannot be confirmed independently.
The UN refugee agency says 2.38 million people have fled to other parts of Pakistan since May 2.

There has been no official word on civilian casualties, and fears are growing for tens of thousands of people who remain trapped in the conflict zone, battling to survive with little food and water.
Salam Khan, a resident who fled Kabal late Tuesday, told AFP life was becoming increasingly desperate under curfew.

‘One cannot even find a match box -- there is no food, people in some areas have started eating their animals,’ Khan told AFP from Peshawar.

‘It was like movies I used to see on TV. They were bombing the mountains, they were shelling by helicopters and using mortars. Shells were landing even in our houses. We had no option but to leave the area.’

Armed Taliban militants bent on imposing a harsh brand of Islamic law had for weeks patrolled the streets of Mingora, but a Taliban spokesman said the fighters were withdrawing from the city to prevent civilian deaths.
The militants' advance toward the capital last month violated a February deal with a pro-Taliban cleric which put three million people in the northwest under sharia law in a bid to end the Taliban insurgency.
