I think the problem is that what people call "the Taliban" isn't really all that centralized or organized. Even while Pakistan was negotiating peace with the Tehrik-e-Taliban back in the spring, other groups calling themselves Taliban were staging attacks against the government. There are so many splinters that it seems almost impossible to get people on the same page.
