On top of this they just allowed Swat Pakistan to be controlled by the Taliban and sharia law.

This maybe, not sure though of course, a way for them to say the place is lawless- so the Americans can operate there, at least via air power. Otherwise there would be more of an outcry generally over loosing control of borders. They also loose less soldiers in the engagements, a win win for them given the circumstances.
