It looks like the Taliban is finally running out of steam.

I love those last stands. Hope they fight to the last man so we can just drop a five hundred pounder on their position and finish them off. Don't need any stinken surrenders.

Unfortunately, no, because the Taliban now have a sanctuary territory in the tribal areas of Northwest Pakistan.

It looks like the Taliban is finally running out of steam. No, not even close.
Pakistan is full of them, just waiting to get into the fight.
The only way they will stop, is if they collectively decide that the fight is not worth the cost, and I don't see that happening.
We will continue to win the battles, but the war is ideological, and will continue as long as the ideology is growing and still exists.
