USA threat to Pakistan

The Sunday Times: Reports that the USA threatened to take military action in the Swat Valley in Pakistan if the Army of Pakistan didn't push the Taliban back from the Capital. The Obama Administration really needs to push the Government in Islamabad, the Government of Pakistan is weak and it has appeased the Taliban/Terrorists so much that it is seen as weak by the Taliban, thus the move by the Taliban to other parts of Pakistan. The moving of the Taliban to within sixty miles of Islamabad has shown that the USA has to consider moving troops in the tribal badlands on the Pakistan side of the border, also the USA should use Air Power with land support from the Army of Pakistan to repel the Taliban from the Swat Valley. Pakistan could be the Obama's Vietnam, and Obama could be LBJ.
