Difference between Afghanistan and Iraq-5

Maybe the top commanders of the Pakistan Army may not be undermining the efforts of the U.S. and NATO allies but some rogue elements and also some government officials secretly maybe helping the Taliban gain a foothold and create trouble for the allied forces, so that when they leave, it can an open field for them to install their government. But much has changed since 9/11 and also India has become a favorite and a very strong economic and military power allied with anybody except the Pakistanis. The Pakistanis are still in a state of denial regarding Afghanistan. The Taliban don’t care much about the Pakistanis anywhere, which they see as the puppet of the Americans.

If and when they think they will get their government (with the help of the Pakistanis) they will surely turned upon their benefactors since the so called victory will galvanize them to install their own harsh brand of Islam on the Northern Province and slowly on other parts (despite what the government says on the contrary).

You see I am not a military man but I analyze things they way they are not sugar coating them for the audience. The fact is that Taliban are winning because they can attack and retreat back to their safe havens in Pakistan (this is fact). As long as Pakistan is willingly or unwillingly playing a double game and hosting the Taliban on its soil. No amount of force can stop these people from gaining a foothold in Afghanistan.
