    Brian, no that is simply not possible. This is not a conventional war and there is no such thing as a conventional win to be achieved in the sense of capturing and holding on to ground and forcing the enemy to capitulate.

    It is far too fluid and complex for that and the terrain much too difficult. The Russains found that out.

    You are right though about the need to cross over the border into Pakistan and the need for the agreement of the Pakistani Government for that.

    This is very much a containment exercise and one aimed at preventing the more complex terror attacks, such as 9/11 and 7/7 on western targets.
