Overstretched, how? By sitting in their luxurious Defence Housing Societies/Bahria Town bungalows, and Askari Bank/Shaheen Air offices? Isn’t it a case of trying till the last soldier and last drop of blood? After all we are talking of Pakistani soil and not about going to some foreign land.
No political will? It’s the pro army establishment right wing anchors who oppose North Wazirastan operation. It seems it’s the Army which is trying to spread this propaganda all the time to demoralise the nation into not going into North Wazirastan. Also no ‘political will’ is ever required when innocent Baluchis are killed in Baluchistan as they are not hand in hand with Army like the Taliban in North Wazirastan are. How stupid do you think the people are?
Pakistani military will never crack down on the Taliban and here is why:
Pakistani Military want to continue this low level conflict with India which means large part of Pakistani GDP goes to the military to keep up their defense posture. Of that large budget, massive amounts of funds are siphoned away by corrupt Generals.
Since India is massively stronger than Pakistan, Pakistan cannot engage India in a conventional war. Thus the only solution is to use Taliban Guerrilla forces to engage and bog down the Indian Army in Kashmir.
And thus, Pakistan Military will never crack down on Taliban because cracking down on them means that their luxurious lifestyle and the free reign that the Military enjoys over Pakistan will go away.
