Yes. 2007 .. It was a short-lived affair, this promises to be more intense.

but..

North Waziristan will still be hanging out there like a sore thumb. This whole area is infested. Swat, Dir, Buner,, it will take time,, but at least the Pakis are taking hits to deliver blows.

Fully agree. So many rat nest to be cleared over the next few years, but at least they are starting to get serious. And the more the goons squads hammer innocents into the ground during car bomb explosions and further disgust the majority who want no part of jihad, the more will side with the government, and accept their decision to start going after the Taliban, and their associates.

Unfortunately, Norm, the Paks still consider the Haqqanis, Gul Bahadar and Mullah Oman and the Quetta Shura to be the “good Taliban” - i.e. the ones who are only ambush killing Afghans and Coalition forces across the border.
