PESHAWAR, Pakistan -- "Pakistan's government is losing its war against emboldened insurgent forces, giving al-Qaeda and the Taliban more territory in which to operate and allowing the groups to plot increasingly ambitious attacks, according to Pakistani and Western security officials."

6+ years after 9-11, 6 years after joining the "War on Terrorism", it's clear the Paks aren't confronting the Taliban and al-Qaeda in a meaningful way. 6+ years is a long time to be in a war and have the enemy growing stronger.

Since "winning" seems to be rhetoric, not a goal or an option, it makes one wonder what the real agenda might be.
