Another attempt to piggy back on a popular issue to win sympathy.

After Maulana Toofan, we will have Maulana Bijli (oops, name already taken) and then Maulana Baarish, Maulana Monsoon etc. Hakeemullah's real name was Junaid I believe. Doesn't sound so scary does he with his real name?

This deserves its own thread.

The Bajaur situation is not new. Afghanistan has served as a safe haven for taliban across the border as evidenced by villages that the PA had to clear inside Afghanistan that were overlooking our positions and NATO was absent. On one hand NATO and the mayor of Kabul wants safe havens inside...

This is our war of terrorism, but you're right, pro terrorist elements are always quiet.

Indeed they would to confuse and throw off people like Fundamentalist. In all seriousness this drone was a decoy to pinpoint where the taliban are. It's sending a signal back to base.

In addition to that, Mullen's brain has been replaced with a Pakistani brain.

Ever eaten a camel sandwich?

Maybe a Pakistani drone went down.

2 issues here. Long term ideological struggle which cannot be won in a few years or just by Pakistan alone. In fact this may take decades if not longer and most of the onus here lies outside of Pakistan. The other is subduing militant groups one by one as full scale conflict is dangerous.

Why is Bajar and SWA news being posted in Swat thread?

Local lashkar killed two taliban and hung their bodies from a pole in khar

If we choose the AH-1Z, we will not induct any AH-1W or earlier updated models. Too much of a maintenance headache.

Completely believable number for anyone who has been following news reports from Swat, FATA, Sindh (mostly Karachi), Punjab and Balochistan.

So you're saying that these poorly armed rag tag zealots did not drive the Soviets out and cannot defeat the US either, right?

Then go ahead and declare war against Pakistan or get out. At the very least it will spare us all from the constant whining and "do more" lectures from the US. :coffee:

Exactly, they are treating the enemy and if without any duress, need to be charged with treason.

I think the only knee jerk reaction here is to think that being armed in such a situation would have changed the situation. The guards outside were armed after all. You're missing out on the underlying causes and major problems in the intel networks and structure and the reason for this...

The enemy can also steal uniforms and pretend to be from the army, so there is a risk to have armed officers and jawans 24/7. Confusion can cause friendly fire very easily. What happened at parade line masjid was failure of intelligence (as usual) and massive failure of security perimeter and SOP.

There are also a risk to have everyone carry a weapon 24/7 everywhere they go.
