Buner Not Secured - Pakistan

BBC News: Reports that the Buner District in Pakistan is not yet secured from the terrorists. Lets recall Buner is sixty miles from the Capital of Pakistan, Islamabad, it was how close that the Taliban/Terrorists had gotten that gave the Obama Administration great concern. Is it wise that the Army of Pakistan is to open a second front in the Tribal badlands when it has not cleaned house so close to its Capital. It has to be asked is the Army of Pakistan up to the job, does it understand that it has to fight a new way, this is not a conventional war, this is not India. The Army of Pakistan has to learn the lessons that the USA had to learn the hard way in Iraq. After its secures land it has to keep troops there for a long time, it has to win the heart and minds of the population. What the Army of Pakistan cant do is go in mob handed, blow things up, announce its clean house and leave, the Taliban/Terrorists will come back and the we are back here again is six months. Wise up Pakistan, this is a fight for the soul of Pakistan.
