Its the reason people from the states cant understand the whole situation and the reason people like Osama walk free, The Pakistani Government and soldiers have never had control over these places. The maps are not what these people live by.

Do a little digging.. The Taliban have been making a large effort to get their selves in to positions within the Pakistani Government. Over the last few years they have managed to basically take over small towns around the boarder of Afghan and are trying to spread throughout Pakistan. They started in the areas you mentioned that the Pakistani government has no control over. There have been several reports on this if you care to search for them. Hell even National Geographic did a special on it a few weeks ago, showing how they are trying to get into high ranking Govt positions.
