"Pakistan's Continuing Slide"
"The Taliban problem has not gone away, and al-Qaeda continues to plot against the West from within Pakistan"
ARTICLE SNIPPET: "The Pakistani government has finally admitted it has a Taliban and al-Qaeda problem, but refuses to take the needed action to confront the terrorist groups. Zeenews.com reported late in December that while the United States "demanded military operations in North and South Waziristan against suspected al-Qaeda and Taliban militants," the Pakistani government "will hold another round of peace talks with tribal elders and ulema in Waziristan." The demands came after the United States government finally admitted "the Taliban have been able to use these areas for sanctuary and for command and control and for regrouping and supply.”
The thin vernier of Pakistani control of Waziristan has come off some time ago."
