US AfPak strategy- Why it is doomed to fail?

Any one fighting a war without knowing who and what is his enemy has only one destiny. FAILURE.

Who are these Taliban? Where from they are coming? Who feeds them and trains them?
The answer to these is a four letter word. ARMY
 No prizes for guessing which Army is being referred to..

The terrorists are just hired killers... They are just pawns in a power game planned at Rawalpindi... Americans want to trace these Taliban mercenaries and kill them in the treacherous ravines of Afghanistan... Quite a costsly and foolish attempt in terms of economic costs as well as human lives. More over it is like treating the symptom than the disease.

Smarter move shall be to confront their protectors... You may need nothing more than a realistic understanding of the real enemy... The disease called Pak Army...

 What we all fail to notice is that Today's Pakistan is nothing but the army. They control the industry, press, government, policy and everything else.  It has its own agenda for furthering its power. Today, the Sonia Gandhi principle of power management is not just copied by some corporates, but also internalised by the Pakistan army. That is why Gen Kayani has no need for coup. And that is precisely why no one raised an eyebrow when he got a three year extension as Army Chief. However, in the bargain, instead of being the country's protector it has become a parasite of the country. Pak army is feeding on Pakistan. We need to recognise that first.

Today Holbrooke and Hillary are trying to use the carrot and stick strategy to convince Kiyani. The idea is to get the Pak Army to kills its own mercenaries... in return they get some bit of cash and weapons to fight India... While India is becoming more and more closer to US and gettting bigger and bigger economically..

Does not look like a bright idea to the General while he knows his Chinese friends are likely to become another super power in future...

The only way to handle the Pak army is to cut them to size. Then probably we can handle them better.This is the classic problem solving technique. If you cannot solve the problem, split it into smaller manageable ones. That can only be possible by dismembering Pakistan may be into three or four countries like Sindh, Punjab, NWFP.

Any One listening?
