We may as well just pull out of Afghanistan now. The government of Pakistan as completely caved to the Taliban insurrection in the Swat Valley and has, in effect, given them a safe haven beyond the reach of US Troops in the region. Unless of course Obama wants to go all George Bush on Pakistan and invade their country....not likely.
There is no more political will left in Pakistan to help remove the Taliban and it's Al Qaeda brothers. Any strategy in Afghanistan will ultimately fail because as soon as we leave the Taliban will just walk across the border and re-occupy their old haunts.
