Buner Air Strikes - Taliban vs Pakistan Government

BBC News: Reports on Air Strikes in the Buner District of Pakistan; 60-70 miles from the Capital of Pakistan, the Air Force of Pakistan is hitting the Taliban/Terrorists. Its seems that the Government in Pakistan has got the message from the Obama Administration and UK PM Gordon Brown, they have to get off the dime and hit the Taliban. The worrying aspect of this report is the fact that it was reported that the Taliban/Terrorists had left Buner under pressure from the Islamabad, in fact reporters recorded the event of the retreat. The truth was more complicated, the Taliban from the Swat Valley had left but local Taliban had stayed behind. One has to ask how many Taliban are in Buner, it seems by the use of Air Power that its more than a few hundred. The CIA should send their drones to have a look, this might be more serious that just an incursion, also the CIA should check about the security of the nuclear arsenal of Pakistan. Watch Buner folks, developing story.
