You have a lot of faith in the Pakistani military, more so than I do (which is none at all). 

you have too much faith in the Taliban, they aren't cable of defeating the Pakistani military on ground that is not favorable to them, the Pakistani military isn't competent but that does not make them incapable of defending the capital of Pakistan from a bunch of ragtag warriors look at Peshawar for instance yes its becoming a haven for Taliban and they have alot of influence in the city, but the Taliban still don't control the city militarily and that city lies right on the edge of Taliban controlled area.

The Pakistani army may be militarily capable of defending the capital against the Taliban, but I have doubts on whether they really want to.  Many in the Pakistani military (and/or their families) are sympathetic to the aims of the Taliban, and are generally unwilling to turn their weapons on fellow Muslims -in fact, there have been a number of desertions since the government has again decided to fight against them.  Who is to say that a critical mass of Pakistani soldiers won't suddenly decide to turn their guns against their government and join forces with the Taliban?

i didn't say they wouldn't a islamist coup is possible, a Taliban victory however is unlikely. anyways the solders would likely back whatever general is in charge of the army from what i can tell that is where the true loyalty of the military lies the sympathies for Taliban the come from the fact that the ISI is largely responsible for creating the Taliban, its more likely that the military would use the Taliban than vice versa. i actually expect a military coup whether its secularists or islamists is a entirely different question.
