Zarb-e-Azb (Urdu: ضربِ عضب‎ ALA-LC:Ẓarb-i ʿAẓbpronounced [zərb-e əzb]) means "sharp and cutting".[14] "Azb" also refers to the name of the sword of the Islamic Prophet Muhammad PBUH, which he used in the Battle of Badr and the Battle of Uhud.

Well the exact meaning of the name is "sharp strike". Zarb = Strike, Azb/Adb = sharp

[That Guy]

What I find incredible is that if you replace Pakistan with India and Afghanistan with Pakistan in your narrative, the shoe fits pretty well there too. Any way, I was more referring to post Soviet era when Pakistan first started using Taliban to assert its control over Afghanistan.

Except, it really doesn't fit at all, because history shows that the situation is different. It's also not my narrative, it's history's narrative.

I know you were referring to post-Soviet era, which I mentioned is the entire problem. This entire situation started way before the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, ignoring that is misrepresenting history.

[Ra'ad]

Are MRAPs being used?? Still IED based casualties?

 

[RabzonKhan]

I actually supported it, since long. But i was of opinion that both good and bad taliban should be targated. Supporting people like sajna, creates the impression in the 'awam' that pak army is playing double games and is not sincere. I also raised the question that why haqqani network was spared (and supported) when they are involved in the Afghanistan with exactly same tactics like TTP e.g suicide bombings, assassinations, blast at civilians etc.
I was also of opinion that full scale military operation, after full evacuation of civilians, is preferable to surgical and reteliatory strikes in the presence of population which causes huge collateral damages. Moreover NW was a mess, as it had large presence of military as well as militants, due to which life there was paralyzed due to curfews, collateral damages etc.
I also have different views on drone strikes compared to you folk. I have always considered drone strikes 100 times better than jet bombardments. I was the first one on this forum to claim that people of waziristan are not against highly precised drone strikes but reteliatory military strikes and shellings. Both ayaz wazir and rustam shah mohmand, with whom i have contacts, share this views with me.
I am of opinion that this op, would be success on pattren of SW op 2009, but it wont end TTP. It is war of decades and the roots of it are madrassas and poverty.
This approach , naturally, would gave me label of being terrorist supporter and traitor in a fauji forum.

Good that you have clarified your views, because quite frankly I was getting the impression that you were totally opposed to the North Waziristan operation.

I believe it does. More than most Pakistanis would like to acknowledge. But I will leave that for a different discussion. On the choice of era, I think while the hostility between Afghanistan and Pakistan had been there from Day 1, the level of engagement and blatancy of interference changed significantly after 1980's so equating the pre soviet era to the post one, is no less of a misrepresentation than totally ignoring it.

Given the low number of terrorists killed it appears most have fled the area? If you compare it to Swat, where they were unable to escape and were consequently demolished, there were reports of 100s killed each day.

Ground operation has not started yet. The is the calm before the storm.

The number is yet low because the Ground operation will be launched onwards tomorrow.

Until now only the airstrikes are on offensive.The Ground operation was suppose to be launched today but one more day was given to the local to evacuate.

With Hafiz Gul bahadur,haqqani and TTP combined.The potential of terrorist is in excess of 5,000.Expect 3000+ of them to be killed and the later will escape
