I think your 'contact' is mainly source, namely, sauce.This depends a lot on the loyalties of the army.
My contacts inform me that whilst the upper echelons of the army are pro-american there is increasing radicalisation among junior officers and the rank and file. This was based on time spent in-country for business a couple of years ago - I daresay that the army has not become more liberal since.

Regardless of that, I doubt any significant portion of the army is that radicalised. The general consensus among Pakistanis is hate for the Taliban, mainly due to the way in which they conduct themselves (murder, suicide bombings). Their so called "swift justice" as opposed to government corruption will always fail. (note - see last few election results, religious parties have gained maybe 1 seat in total)
I think the only issue is, we arent ever going to beat them. If they're destroyed at Swat, they'll just restart their suicide bombing campaign in the major city centres. IMO they should get as many civilians out as possible and nuke the fuckers.
Evidence plz.
You made the claim. Back it up, or shut the fuck up and get the fuck out.Evidence plz.
I'm quite sure the peace-mongerers that the Taliban are would be openly welcomed in Pakistan.You made the claim. Back it up, or shut the fuck up and get the fuck out.
