The Taliban pulled back but left some of their Germs ! Well put, and Germs like a bad disease need to be Eradicated ! But I doubt Pakistan is willing to do that , at times it seems as though Pakistan wants the Taliban to succeed in their quest to take over ! So they Left a few strays behind , they will undoubtedly start terrorizing the people of Buner , and in a short time they will give in and the Taliban will have another town under their control !

BUNER, Pakistan (Reuters) - Taliban fighters remained in a Pakistani valley near the capital on Saturday, but many had pulled out after quitting their main base, officials said.
"They have gone, but left their germs here," Abdul Rasheed Khan, the district's top police officer, told Reuters. "Now we have about 200 local Taliban who can be seen on roadsides."
The Taliban's entry into the northwest district of Buner, some 100 km (60 miles) northwest of Islamabad, alarmed Washington during the past week, as fears mounted over the nuclear-armed Muslim state's stability.
On Friday, guerrilla commander Fazlullah, ordered his men to pull back to the neighboring Swat valley, and his spokesman said around 100 fighters were being withdrawn.
Residents saw Taliban fighters abandoning their main base at Sultan Was village in the Buner valley.
A senior security official said the Taliban should lay down arms, allow the police to carry out their duties and allow new courts, known as qazi courts, to deliver justice according to sharia law.
"If they do not do any of this, the state will decide to go for an operation, and this time the operation will be on a larger scale," he said.
