In my view this is not the main source of Taliban weapons. This is the source from where weapons come into settled areas of Pakistan.

Taliban control huge territory of Afghan Land. Such factories in those areas could do the job easily for Taliban rather taking risk of delivery of ready weapons crossing NATA forces. Afghans are also expert in weapons, they are almost the same.

There are also other sources of Taliban weapons. Not to discuss them.

those factories were there from centuries ,you cannot connect taliban source of weapons with tribel area arms market and in those markets ,they selliing weapons not giving away for free ,we should look first where the funds are coming from to taliban that they can afford the food ,guns and the vehicles .and lastly you cannot connect every tribel man or pathan with taliban .

i believe most of the countries wish that America get defeated in Afghanistan or atleast she remains engage there...... so one can think about the hidden support that Taliban has...... baaqi friends ki baat theek hai...... sub bata doon haath pair kata doon :)

I think Russia, India and most probably China & Iran are behind the resurgent Taliban forces in Afghanistan against the US and its allied NATO forces. This speculation has widely been circulated on time to time basis in the Pakistani media as well. I think unless more concrete evidences are unearthed by the security forces of Pak the harder it would be to visualise the likely scenario of arming the Talibans along with their financial support as well. I think this speculation have some substance as well for some reasons.

Firstly we all know how Pakistani establishment along with the covert operations and support of US and middle eastern nations collaborated against the Red Army of USSR in the 80s and how much this syndicate has bleed Russians in that famous struggle. So may be this is the payback time from them to their arch foes Americans.

Secondly on the question of Indians we all know (again) that how much Pakistani establishment has bleed them in different parts of Indian territories where freedom movements are in widespread mainly Kashmir in the late 80s and 90s. This fact has been acknowledged by their security analysts as well that India should employ the same strategy against Pakistan in order to escalate the process of defragmentation of its traditional arch rivals and Indians heavy presence in Afghanistan is an open secret for the entire Pakistani establishment.

Thirdly (And lastly) for many of Pakistanis this would be a shocker to know that Chinese might have also involved along with Iranians to arm and financially support their apparent nemesis (Taliban) against their common enemy US and its allies. US has make this obvious from their activities and operations in Afghanistan in 2001 that in order to encircle the emerging red dragon from the Himalayan region they have to support and strengthen Indians in order to escalate a proxy series of wars against the rising of their common enemy and by doing that Americans will ensure that Iranians will be closely monitored and checked from their activities (Supporting Islamic guerrillas in Lebanon & making specific arms which aims for Israel) in the middle east. So it becomes obvious that neither Chinese nor Iranians would like to see the presence of Americans along with its allies around the world for reasons of subverting and containing the influences of these two nations in their respective regions of the world.

Pakistani establishment has now become more enigmatic and perplexed for the likely scenario of the defeat of Americans in the region because if Talibans once hold the control of Afghanistan with that groundbreaking achievement in the near future then the survival of Pakistans constituent federal units of FATA, NWFP and Baluchistan would be endangered immensely. Majority of the people of FATA, NWFP and Baluchistan are now against the part of Pakistani federation because of Pakistani establishments overt support of US and its allies against them in the case of the first two mentioned regions and Baluchis are now openly denouncing Pakistan because of the reasons we all know and I dont need to further elaborate on this issue. Therefore it would be a matter of death and life for Pakistani and US establishment to try to evade the inevitable and only time will dictate who will prevail in this highly precarious and evil big game of the twenty first century C.E.

Dear Bret Hawk,

Allow me not to comment on your first three points....

Regarding Pakistani establishment: Pakistan has learned lesson with the experience of 88-89 when America left us helplessly after soviet withdrawal.

Actually in 80's our ruler took the right decision of supporting afghan war but he played with wrong tactics. He allowed Afghans to enter into the society of Pakistan (reasons are debatable). That was his mistake. On the other hand Iran also supported Afghans but they kept them in camps. They didnt allow them to destroy their social fabric.

To save Pakistan, our ruler risked Pakistan itself at stake. Pakistan was looser both ways either USSR wins or Afghan warrior wins, Pakistan was destructed.

Now Gen Kiyani and previously Gen Musharraf both knew that America will again leave us after destroying Afghanistan. So I think that in 1st phase Gen Musharraf played double game and in 2nd phase Gen Kiyani is following Irani formula to keep Afghans in Afghanistan and fight there. In three months they cleared Swat. More work is on. Its tough but trying.

Regarding Afghan Warriors and Pakistan relations after (presumed) defeat of US and NATO, they will have to keep good relations with Pakistan, no other choice for them. And the double game will also pay at that time.

Finally Baloch, they are very nice people. Pyar say maango jaan day daingay, badmaashi say kuch nahi milay ga Balochistan will never go with Afghanistan. There might be 100 ills in Mr. Zardari but Balochistan is the point where he can and will play positive role.
