Hi all,

Can someone explain something to me regarding persistant reports that Pakistani security forces' support the Taliban. So how are the NATO forces supposed to fight the enemy supported by their main "ally" in the region. The enemy forces attack NATO forces but run back into pakistan when chased and cannot be engaged within pakistan. I read somewhere that US has occasionally fires missiles from UAVs at the Taliban within pakistan. But this draws protest from pakistan. This situation cannot be helpful for NATO. So in my opinion this mission in Afganistan is doomed to fail as all previous foreign intervensions in that country.
