For God's sake, get rid of this notion of strategic depth. And good Taliban and bad Taliban. Don't know what they are safeguarding and from whom.
@Jibran:
Unfortunately years of harboring the Haqqani are likely to have consequences. When the American's depart it's likely that the TTP and other militants will setup permanent bases in Afghanistan with Afghan tacit approval which will impact Pakistan's "internal mess".
ET, why is it that any comment relating to praise of Pak army is not being published where as hatred is being allowed for others to see?
Forget about external security, and concentrate on the internal mess. You are not that big an international player to cater others.
Pak Army Zindabaad!
