Pakistanis aim to kill leaders of Taliban in Swat

I like this kind of talk ! the Pakistani army and Govt , say the only way to make this work is to kill the Taliban leaders ! That is alright with me !
And then this is funny also ,
There are no independent casualty estimates but the army says more than 1,230 militants have been killed, while it has lost more than 90 men. But Taliban leaders in Swat have apparently escaped the army's fire.
....

Of course the Taliban leaders have escaped the Army's fire ! Do you think the pansies are going to actually fight?


MINGORA, Pakistan (Reuters) - Pakistani authorities are preparing for the return of residents to Swat's main town but decisive victory will only be won when Taliban leaders are dead, an army commander said on Wednesday.

The army began battling Taliban in the region in late April, after a militant thrust into a district 100 km (60 miles) northwest of the capital raised fear at home and abroad that the nuclear-armed country could slowly slip into militant hands.

The army has secured the main town of Mingora and pushed militants out of many other parts of the Swat valley, until recently famous for its ski slopes and summer hiking. But the fighting has also forced about 2 million people from their homes.
