The TTP / Taliban issue is a very complex one. Can’t blame a certain individual or institution or a political party.
The TTP conceived in 2002, as a result of Pakistan army incursions into tribal areas, got a boost in 2007 post Lal Masjid operation. As revenge they just went total retard and conducted suicide bombings across Pakistan. Their ranks included non Afghan and were an out and out terrorist outfit. The drone strikes which were allowed by the GHQ further exacerbated the situation.
Multiple **** ups took place and we are here. One is the GHQ’s obsession with $. Dollar for drones was a thing while the Generals were purchasing mansions in Texas and elsewhere. This was on top of CSF, with some going into the GHQ’s pockets.
Lesson to be learned: You fight your own war. You don’t become a mercenary and then exacerbate the situation further when it becomes too hot to handle.
Next step: You go in and conduct as many IBO as you want and if need be go inside Afghanistan and wipe out the terrorists.
What you don’t do is come up with the Minutes of meeting blaming the leadership in the past when your own seniors were involved in enacting the policy.
