1. Actions like these start without fanfare , publicity and seeking ' permissions' which thus far one saw the PA do.
2. The area of ops are kept under surveillance and intel is carefully gathered on possible targets, routes of ingress / egress are sealed. Not sure if this happened. Seems unlikely as in the past the bad guys have slipped away.
3. Such ' campaigns' do not have an expiry date.They have to be sustained, relentless .
4. The old brit way of doing things holds good. Cantonments need to be created for permanent placing of troops who dominate their respective areas. These guys surface after the troops leave.
5. Air strikes & Arty can at best soften up the target - boots have to reach & stay there.
6. Leakage of information is a huge concern, plans made are leaked to the TTP even before they are executed. One reads of plans & dates in the media !
