I likes, very much - Kill them all!, no need to save any Talib or sectarian terrorist - then lets move on their patrons and financiers

If millitary was serious they could have taken solid steps back in 2002 itself but how can they crucify their own strategic assets!?

 

[acid rain]

I hope it encompasses terror threats to India and Afghanistan also, specially the Kashmiri terror groups, LET etc and the Haqqanis and Afghan Taliban...half baked attempts targeting only groups attacking Pakistanis will not serve any purpose because all these groups are interlinked and have a common agenda.

They too seem to be making the right noises to placate the nation , their ' financiers' and those who matter.

If statements could kill , there'd be no Terror at all.

The military just told the Govt. after the failed talks "I hate standing around".

 

[CENTCOM]

We commend their decision to continue their fight against terrorism. We must understand that this war against an elusive enemy is difficult. We appreciate their sacrifices and understand the difficulties the Pakistani military has been facing in the treacherous north western Pakistan. We fully support their efforts and hope for a final victory against this common enemy.

The "patrons and financiers" are the financiers of many Paksitani finances as well. So, I don't see this happening unless we were to take a stronger and bolder position in international politics.

And of course that won't and can't happen unless we tackle i the internal enemy seriously, not just to make peace with them but to finish them off.

Making Peace... I refrain from attaching these words with the TPP and TPP-minded groups.
Never supported peace talks and never will.

Bombs for bombs, blood for blood.

That, after all, will be justice.

That's what I'm talking about - remove the weed from the roots, the roots are in ideology

Not just the ideology, but the concept behind the ideology itself.
Total domination and complete control; where opposition is a sin punishable by death.

Hmm...I think you are referring to the Saudi Salafi establishment. When will we show some guts and really go after these TTP patrons?
