@Zarvan @Pak-one both of you are putting up good arguments, since i never lived in tribal area so I cannot comment on ground realities, my arguments will be based on what i have heard from people in armed forces, media and some fellow members like you. Since last night there seems to be a confusion between people of FATA / Tribals and the TTP. you are advocating for the people of tribes who have joined the force with TTP, you are portraying as if TTP is a result of aftermath of PA operation in FATA, same as Afghan Taliban emerged as a force to fight atrocities committed by local war lords in the 80s.
however this is not the case with TTP, because they are a mesh work of many other local militant groups. If you are advocating that why FATA was invaded by PA than my response is that for very same reason Afghanistan was invaded by US / NATO. Taliban were asked by the Authorities to give up the Guests they had, but they refused hence an operation was necessary to launch.
Many pakistanis think that Afghan taliban are genuine ones while pakistani ones are agents of CIA and RAW....i dont agree with them. If you go back you would remember that at one point Taliban were seem to be completely suppressed and defeated in Afghanistan, then they slowly emerged and became active around 2006 and became quite a strength around 2008......it is a natural response that you would observe in pashtun population against foriegn occupation. Due to desperate situation and against powerful enemy, they resorted to suicide bombings and what not.
In FATA there was no such thing as taliban before 2001 and even before 2006, pak army military operations and their presence gave birth to anti-army tribals who started calling themeselves taliban.....the formation of TTP by baitullah mehsud was in direct response to fauji action on lal masjid and their extended their activities to KPK and rest of Pakistan. So both afghan taliban and TTP have same enemy "America and its servants". Afghan taliban are attacking american and its allies in Afghanistan while TTP is attacking america's servant i.e pak army in pakistan.....they are spirtual brothers of each other and are fighting America directly in Afghanistan and indirectly in pakistan by attacking its partner in crime.
