Granted that we mustn't give in to conspiracy theories but at the same time we mustn't make light of the situation either ! I think some very pertinent questions could arise out of this :
1) How deep is their infiltration of the Pakistan Armed Forces ?
2) Can we afford to borrow a page from ISAF's book and bomb the sh*t out of them and their sympathizers ? Or would doing so alienate even the gullible ones into going completely over to the Taliban Camp ? And at that can we economically sustain it and the ensuing development that must follow every military engagement for anything to have a lasting effect ?
3) How in God's name is the TTP so well versed in military strategy ? How can they identity targets, measure up their significance, lay-out seemingly effective plans and then execute them with such impunity ?
4) What compelled them to change their engagement strategy from recklessly attacking some of the more peripheral military bases or outposts alongside the Afghan border into taking out strategic military assets well into Pakistani territory ? How has their strategy been streamlined so well into something a lot more effective, bold and well-thought out ?
5) If the TTP can pull off incidents like today that what does it say about the assertion that 'we've broken their back in the Tribal Areas, in Swat and other parts of KP ?'. If this is the handiwork of a spent, completely routed organization then I wonder what they'd be otherwise ? Or could it be that it was all just a bluff for them to hold out for as long as they could in those engagement so that they could move out as much of their assets into Afghanistan as possible ?
.. the level of comprehension bankruptcy never fails to amaze me..
