Always Neutral, I'd concur with Asim on his perceptions of both SWAT and FATA. Mehsud had prominence within FATA from a number of trips to Afghanistan between 1994-2001 but he hadn't emerged until later. Nek Mohammad was the local charismatic that really mobilized the tribal insurgency in...

"I just found out that there was a personal family tragedy and my sister had a miss carrige." For that I am truly sorry. Your sister and you both have my deepest sympathies. Debating and arguing is one thing. Life and death an entirely different and more important matter. God speed to...

"And how can we forget that the good old CIA took their sweet time in taking out BM" Well we killed him and we killed Hakimullah Mehsud. How much sweet time did you take with Abdul Ghani Baradar?:agree: Silly argument. Both countries have tried their best to capture or kill these men...

"Oh yes the mighty american out of arguments and all he can now resort to is personal insults." It wasn't I that called linked sources "garbage". "P!ss off but why am I arguing with a jar head." You're not. "jar head" is a U.S. Marine. You are having your azz kicked by a former U.S...

Now you shoot the messenger after stating this? "I did a google search and only ones mentioning this same story are indian blogs and indian websites." Odd that you knew of the International News story but didn't mention it and now claim an ad hominem attack. Fact is there are forty...

I source my information. Your defense minister admitted to destroying what hadn't even been admitted existed. More than odd. David Rohde lived in Miram Shah as the guest of the Haqqani family. Last I checked that's still inside Pakistan. "As far as the rest of your post goes not worth...

You might read this article by Hamid Mir- Army Officials Call Baitullah Mehsud Faizullah Patriots-Dec. 1, 2008 THE NEWS Thanks.:usflag:

"Well atleast now the people who keep accusing Pakistan of harboring the Afghani Talibs should Shut up as this news can put a stop to all of the crap." And the eight years of denials and dissemblance before this? What's that say about accusations of Indian intrigue eminating from...

Too late. I saw your link and, oh my, I'm wrong. There was ONE attack at Jani Khel, also in Bannu, a year ago next month. So? This, btw, is derailing an important topic and thread which I really don't appreciate. You've no case for an "offensive" in NWFP. Not even remotely so don't press...

"You and your govt protects, buys oil and directly funding the same so called Wahabi terrorists, so what does it makes you or USA?? Christian or Jew terrorists financing Wahabi terrorists to spread terrorism around the world. ?????? So next time, if you call someone wahabi terrorist, do...

Ohh really....then what is drone attacks??? Isn’t the part of WoT. I understand you are upset for obvious reasons." ALL-GREEN should be upset and the reasons that are so obvious have been alluded by him. You are ignorant and flaming. There's been ONE drone attack in NWFP since they...

"No in pakistan the government still has legitimacy however scant its still there." Unfortunately, that legitimacy is questioned by many right here every day. So too, I'm sure, the legitimacy of Afghanistan's government. However, in both cases the U.N., America, and the rest of the...

"The only way to end this conflict is that we negotiate with the talibs..." Is that your plan for Pakistan too? "...lets face facts so that there is some say of pakistan in the affairs of the Afghan state." And how much say in the affairs of the Pakistani state do you intend to provide...

The shadow district governor of Marjah was captured in Kandahar province the other day fleeing the forthcoming battle. I don't know if it happened before or after Baradar's capture. I don't even know if the two events are related. But they could be. I don't see how anybody but those who...

Ejaz, we have a thread on Operation Moshtarak. This post would be more appropriate there, wouldn't you agree? Thanks.:usflag:

"They cant be that stupid." I highly doubt they are stupid. Seems this capture has upset you. Why?:) Thanks.:usflag:

Incredible! This is an EPIC capture that supercedes all previous. Both the strategic and operational intelligence at his disposal is through the roof powerful. Key taliban commanders have no doubt known almost immediately that he'd been captured. Hard with his profile to just go missing...

"...two things happened which changed or shifted American focus: one was to oversee the smooth transition from the cold war to the post cold war world. And to manage the reunification of Germany. The second thing was the Gulf situation." Good call and completely accurate. Moreover, it was...

"... we'v got the american message loud and clear" I doubt you remember all of the message. Call me when those men who disfigured that child get three years in prison for their actions- Lyndie England Convicted and Dishonorably Discharged-MSN Personally, I'd permit that child to pour...

Zahir Azimi is ahead of himself. There are all sorts of pockets with varying resistance from severe to modest. There is an absolute CRAPLOAD of IEDs everywhere. It'll be at least a month to clear MOST of the mines. Many afghans will yet die by those missed. Yesterday, Marines found over...
