My dear brothers as Pakistanis we had to learn lesson from this tragedy other wise we will not survive .We puhthoons are very unfortunate .We had been destroyed on the name of Islam and maulvi like kifayath and jumathi islami are responsible for puhthoons killing. They have killed 3 millions puhthoons in Afghanistan and now killing puhthoons in pukhthoonkawa. If we don’t unite now against these maulvis and religious we will be in dark age again because they don’t have any vision, they don’t know how to deal with world. Public picks up only minor issues and then look for these terrorist and murders. Can I ask this maulvi sahib what we have got from Afghan jihad. In my opinion there are forces who are against pukhthoons and even don’t let us make over small nests. We innocent puhthoons have been have deceived by mullahs. please don’t listen to them and other wise they will take this mess to Punjab.Dont blame US for every thing , who brought them to AFG, who divided AFG on the name of languages .I dont agree with ANP . if PAK army cant help us why puhthoon zalamy cant pick up the guns and fight against these jahil Why sons of Ahmad shah , Sher shah and Khushals are quiete now and why we have left our social set up to these maulvi criminals. Go to Pukhtoonkhwa and see how much work has been done by MMA. why they didnt resign when Bughti was killed , why they didnt resign when lal masjid was attacked , why they suported zia and why suported musharaf. (Wrono laba yo keego gane rookego)i will criticise ANP if they r doing some thing wrongs.but they have been killed , slaughterd but they are in field. there are so many attacks against ANP is there any attack against Q Hussain or F rehamn so it show they are with talibs and terrorist.

@Bechari Awam

This fighting in Swat is now to protect Altaf Hussain and to prolong tenure of Zardari. Army is not getting anywhere and the human suffering is too much too bear. Both Altaf Hussain and Zardari must be handed over to Taliban and all Army action must stop now. The Army must refuse the orders from Zardari, this situation is now becoming like East Pakistan.

@ Bechari
according to your beloved american figures..their drones (na pak army equally contributed) has killed 700 civilians in waziristan; yesterday they have killed 86, and today they killed 8 more. do you even dare to condemn that?

@maverick

Jast don’t understand ..Why doesn’t Imran Khan barks against Taliban the way he barks against MQM. There are 234 cases against Altaf alright but can anybody count how many people Taliban have killed so far? Do you think just a statement that “We condemn their act” is enough?

@all,

Forgive me for my pessimism, but if the people running this govt. are not agreed to such a major decision of launching a mly operation, who is going to bet on the success of such a venture? It is also pertinent to point out that in keeping with its traditions, this PPP led govt. announced the operation and brought it for approval of the cabinet afterwards. Any illusion of a democratic system or reference to democracy stand in utter shame. NO one should brag about democracy in this country any more.

From dealing with the IDPs to the tactics employed in the operation, how many of you can sit around and praise this govt? The tactics remind me of the famous saying by one American col. who after burning a vietnam village said, “we have to burn it in order to save it”. The difference, tiny bit, is this is not a foreign country they are fighting against. What is clear is that the army is afraid of losses and does not want to combat the taliban man to man, house to house. This essentially imply the lack of intelligence as well.

However, what we need to ask is how come the Indian forces, facing a much spreadout and powerful insurgency in Kashmir handled without using artillery, gunships, and jets in a hostile population and the pakistani army can not? Dealing in plots for the last eight years has defintely taken a toll on the officers it seems.

Moulvi sahib’s argument with Zahid Khan had no bearing. Just scoring of political points.

Other than some election time rhetoric, I have found most of ANP leadership very sensible on TV. It is time for ANP to get out of regional/ ethnic cloak and step into the national politics.

@Sarfraz Mir

Pakistan has only two enemies

(1) Zardari + Altaf Hussain
(2) India

Didn’t you see the picutres from London where your Zardari gave flowers to Altaf Hussain and touched his feet. What ever is happening is now in full knowledge of Zardari but he is helpless. PM Yusuf RG is simply protecting his @rse. Country is run by Altaf Hussain.
Only Imran Khan and JI can see eye to eye with MQM.
PPP supporters are praising Zardari and Altaf Hussain day and night.

The military action must stop now, as this has been going on for over a week and still not producing results, and our Army only knows how to surrender. East Pakistan situaion cannot be repeatd again.
