[extinct]

@extinct that's what the "let them stew in their own mess" say exactly. Good luck to you.

Then let the stew... well stew... what is your voyeurism??? go troll somewhere else... mind your own business... I do not troll your forums when there is an Indian tragedy even the "false flag" ones...

You sound confident. If I was a Pakistani I would be exploring every variable possible. Betrayal and internal collusion is a very real possibility.

There are pictures available online of the dead terrorists. Dont you think they would have been recognized by now?

Yes I am confident indeed. But its not my duty to convince you.

Indians express sympathy with Pakistan in their own way

Schools across India observed two minutes of silence on Wednesday in memory of the victims of a school attack in Pakistan that killed 132 students. Some students sang songs and held up placards too. But Indians’ reaction to acts of terror in Pakistan is often complicated. This is because Indians have blamed almost every terror attack in their nation in recent years on their neighbor.

That was evident in some of the reaction from India to the attack, at least as it was reflected on Twitter.

Many used the trending hashtag #IndiaWithPakistan to express solidarity.

Many Pakistanis tweeted back with appreciation.

There is no need to offer prayers for the souls of the children killed in Peshawar.
What possible sin could 16-year-olds have committed?
Pakistan's political and military leadership is requested not to worry about the children's afterlife.
When they raise their hands in prayer, they should pray for their own forgiveness and pledge to fight the ideology of these inhumans.

there were a couple guards, but these terrorists slipped in and breached the school through adjacent graveyard...probably in the early hours, 3 or 4 in the morning when nobody expected any 'company'

its a security failure however......all schools, government buildings, military installations should be on super high alert...not for days or weeks...but months....maybe even the whole of 2015......terrorist attacks especially in Peshawar have gone down drastically. But unfortunately these terrorists have shown that they can still wage surprise attacks like these - on civilian/soft targets. They have no shame.

It's not a security failure, brother. Our security forces are among the best in the world, and they are fulfilling their duties with excellence.

Security should only ever be a last resort, just like giving medicine to the sick. When security has to be used, then know that hundreds of things already went wrong. We need to attack the roots of the problem.

In our case, we have leadership without merit or accountability. These duffers mismanage our affairs, hold talks with the TTP, and give them time to establish themselves; and then we expect our security forces to be somehow infallible in responding to the monster that our low-quality leaders created.

Our media isn't a mouthpiece for the state, they will analyze and criticize every angle of the Afghan campaign but overall yes it's been a huge success. There is no Taliban shadow government, but they are waiting in the shadows to take over once we fully leave. Your country has made gains of course and I won't downplay that. But it's been 1 step forward and two steps back all along.

What is that "huge" success? It's been almost a decade and a half? The drug business is booming more than before,the Taliban are still controlling most of Afghanistan,the afghan security forces are corrupt to the core,desertion and blue on blue shootings is there (even shot that ISAF Gen) and so on..
I'm sorry I don't understand what long standing goal ISAF has accomplished ?

Yes, the Taliban are present on both sides, but the strange distinction of "Good Taliban and Bad Taliban" exists only in Pakistan. This distinction is not only propagated by some destructive personalities in the media but is also part of the official policy of Pakistan. Sadly, a great number of people fall for it hook, line, and sinker, and no amount of tragedy seems enough to change their minds.

Very recently the Foreign Minister of Pakistan went on record to say that in the operation Zarb-e-Azb they will not be targeting the Good Taliban. What is surprising is that they expect the outcome of this view to be different from what has been going on in Pakistan for over a decade.

Thanks. How is Operation Zarb-e-Azb faring? Is it proving effective? Will it prove effective? If yesterday's Peshawar school massacre is any indication then no, it is not. But then the operation is not yet completed.

whole world should join hands to eliminate every single terrorist from Pakistan's soil...everyone is vulnerable ..these haramis have not even left masoom bachhe..they can do it again..not just in Pakistan but anywhere in the world! schools are least protected places and these haramis might target them again!

Why not Mr. Troll, and while we are at it why not cull the Harami RSS, VHP and Bujrangdull(as) as well... why not try Modi "the magnificent" at the Hague for crimes against humanity and genocide as well... as far as I am concerned they all belong to the same religion, the religion of terror, no matter what scripture they follow...

 

[Mav3rick]

No we are not animal like them who enjoy killing....

Who is talking about killing, anyway? I want them kept alive!

Thanks. How is Operation Zarb-e-Azb faring? Is it proving effective? Will it prove effective? If yesterday's Peshawar school massacre is any indication then no, it is not.

On the contrary, the operation is so effective, it is broken the backbone of these terrorists to the point where they are so desperate that they attacked and martyred school kids. The terrorists are bewildered, lost and have no clear path as to what they should do before all of them are annihilated.

We weren't there to put a stop to the drug business. Afghans are notorious drug addicts to begin with. We were there to beat the hell out of those bastard goat shagging cowards and we beat them black and blue so bad their clown operations are now isolated to Afghanistan instead of New York City or the Pentagon. They will think twice before planning out some snackbar operation to be carried out on the West. Secondly we were able to establish an Afghan government that brought together all the minorities, which was a big problem in the past. The Pashtuns could not get along with the Persian and Turkic and Shiite minorities, now this is a real possibility. Afghanistan's legitimate businesses are booming, just look at the north.

It's a fledgling state with typical problems that can be surmounted with time. A complete 180 from what it was following the Cold War.

They don't look Uzbek to me. They look Arab but I have seen Pakistanis look like that too. The last one looks Yemeni the others look Pashtun.

Please don't make me laugh. I've lived in those areas for 2 years (my father served there) and I've met ISAF troops and know about the situation much better than some random guy sitting thousands of miles away in his cozy little house talking about things he knows nothing about.

Clearly you are being bitterly sarcastic. I did qualify my questions with a negative response as a result of yesterday's attack. Perhaps I worded it badly.

Taliban is biggest threat to ‘existence of Pakistan,’ says Defense Minister
Pakistan pledges continued Taliban war - CNN.com Video

Pakistan’s war against the Taliban will continue, Pakistani Defense Minister Khawaja Asif told CNN’s Christiane Amanpour on Tuesday, in the wake of the Taliban massacre of Pakistani schoolchildren.

“The Taliban, these extremists, the terrorists, they are the biggest threat to peace in this region, to peace in Pakistan, to the existence of Pakistan,” Khawaja Asif said.

“We are undeterred. We won’t back off, we are on the front line for the last now almost eleven, twelve years. We need the world, especially Western countries, must recognize – unqualified recognition should be given to our sacrifices. … Even the children are dying on the frontline in the war against terror.”

At least 145 people were killed and more than a hundred injured, most of them children, at a school for the families of military personnel in Peshawar.

“The smaller the coffin, the heavier it is to carry it. And we’ve been carrying smaller coffins today, more than a hundred small coffins we’ve been carrying, the Pakistani nation.”



“It’s a very, very tragic day, and when people tell us how to conduct this war and they say that we are discriminate against this group and not doing enough, it really hurts, you know. It’s like belittling our sacrifices against this war.”

“Terror has descended upon our nation today. I have no words to express my shock, my dismay at what happened today. The whole nation is mourning but still, I would say, I will reiterate we will not give up and we shall overcome. And we’ll get rid of this menace from our country, we’ll cleanse our country from this menace.”

The siege went on for several hours before soldiers moved in, saying their efforts were hindered by improvised explosive devices planted by the extremists around the school buildings.

The Minister said the Taliban’s “reaction to the operation [the Pakistani military launched in the nearby Waziristan tribal area], which started in June, was expected. But definitely there must be some slackness in the security, that these terrorists penetrated into this school from the back of the building, which is next to a graveyard, I am told.”

Tuesday's attack and seemingly poor response has raised questions as to whether the country’s military is standing by the government’s policy on confronting terrorist attacks.

“The government, the civilian government and armed forces they are on the same page as far as the war against terror is concerned. There is absolutely no differences there.”

“We wanted to try, we wanted to give a chance to a negotiated settlement and it lasted for three, four months – nothing happened. And ultimately we went into North Waziristan, and since fourteenth of June we are fighting this war, actively fighting this war.”

Pakistan of course has a complicated relationship with the Taliban, having at times seen it as a bulwark against its traditional enemy, India.

"We do not classify between different groups of Taliban – you know, that there are good Taliban or bad Taliban. They are all bad."
