Taliban to take on army in January: Hakeemullah
LAHORE: The Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) will take on the army when winter arrives in the tribal region, TTP chief TTP Hakeemullah Mehsud said in a phone call with CNN on Tuesday. We will wait till January for our offensive since we are stronger during the snowing season, Hakeemullah said. He said he was confident despite the large-scale military operation currently targeting the TTP in South Waziristan. We have conserved our energy and have not lost our morale, he said. The leadership of my organisation is safe, he said, but he did not say where they were taking refuge. He neither denied nor confirmed that the TTP was responsible for Mondays suicide blast outside the district court in Peshawar. Being occupied in other matters, I have not been able to contact my colleagues there, so I will not be able to take responsibility at this time, Hakeemullah said. Suicide bombings have intensified this year as the military pursues offensives against Taliban strongholds across the northwest. The past three months have seen a fierce surge in attacks, including a suicide bombing on October 28 in a Peshawar market killing 125 people.

we're waiting !!!
CENTCOM Chief is the ultimate arbitrator of our destiny. Our lives, our territory, our resources, our sovereignty and our national fabric are all at his disposal. Our national motto is “KHIDMAT MEIN IZZAT” a la the ASC.
I have said it a number of times at this forum that TTP is not a positive constructive force; it is essentially a reactionary force. Their very inception, as well as their strength is attributable to the atrocious handling of the sensibilities of the people of tribal areas by the Army and Government. Without a certain degree of grass roots popularity they would not have lasted even a week; Taimikhan knows very well that no one can just force his way to power in Pushtoon areas; nobody’s skull is layered with Kevlar.
Since the Musharraf days Pakistan Government and the Army tasked itself to show “performance” to the USA as some sort of “Ally”. Our political and military leadership was at pains to show their “indispensability” in the War against Terror. The easiest route to achieve a few brownie points was to launch repeated operations in FATA and later Swat; where there was a natural sympathy wave for the Afghan Taliban in their struggle against the US.
The main objectives of Army operations were to cause enough bloodshed from both sides, so that a Phony war of convenience turns into a Real war. Neither the Army nor the FATA people find it easy to bridge the river of blood. TTP by default ended up as the rallying point for those wronged by the Operations.
The only viable solution is for Pakistan State to reassert its Sovereignty in Islamabad:
1. The so called “Alliance” with the US, which is nothing more than the role of coolies and hired guns, may be politely put to rest.
2. WE should refuse to “Do More” and refuse to take the almost daily prodding on our “Safe haven” status or the Security of our Nuclear Assets. Pakistan
3. Deploy the Army on its real job, i.e. the Security of our borders and Airspace; both to the East and West. The best way to assert sovereignty on the Western border to shoot down a couple of MQ-9 and export the wreckage to China.

people are interested in running their 'lives' as they have for so many years. they want education, jobs, justice, health and homes just like every one else around the world - and foremost in their minds is the return of 'peace and serenity' in their shangri=la like swat valley.
And you give them jobs, justice, healthcare by deploying Tanks and APCs in their area. You develop a healthy touristic economy by making 80% of the population run for their lives against an onslaught of artillery barrages and bombing from the air. You give them homes through demolishing entire villages.
May Allah grant paradise to the innocents and hellfire to the TTP and their supporters and guidance to those who see any legitimacy in their cause.
