NWA operation can delay elections

[Solomon2]

Thats the right approach and the army should stick to this approach since its the responsibility of the parliament to decide the launching of operation and since the parliament/politicians of all colours are in no mood to take this responsibility hence army should not bother to go for it as long as its not approved by the parliament.

Why should parliament take responsibility if it lacks the authority to direct or dismiss incompetent or disobedient commanders? A commander could do anything he liked, even illegal, and if somebody disagreed or was unhappy with the result could always claim he wasn't the person responsible, even though it was his initiative or outside his remit - blame parliament! It would be like you deciding to get rich by robbing and killing your neighbor but blaming be afterwards for your actions - since I'm an American who supported sending drones to kill Talibs.

NWA has become a haven for TTP and its Al Qaeda affiliates including militant thugs from all over the world. Militants who are ideologically driven and intent on setting up their own fascist fiefdom. We have already seen the TTP operate in Swat. There were no drones in Swat. Have we not learnt our lesson? And what a costly lesson it was.

We have lost 40,000 civilians and 4000 soldiers thanks to the TTP and their Al Qaeda affiliated terrorists. When will people like Khan Sahib wake up? Imran Khan wants to negotiate with the TTP. How and what, can you negotiate with a rabid dog?

Importantly, when will our Generals stop equivocating, and give up this nonsensical notion of achieving strategic depth through non state actors?When will our Generals start caring about our people - our soldiers, our policemen, our shia, our women, our barelvis, our ahmadis and christians, our Malalas trying to get a decent education - all people targeted by the very groups the military nurtured in the past.

This is an existential battle. A battle of ideology. A battle between darkness and sanity. The battleground is NWA. And this is a battle that must be fought sooner rather than later.

The military must kill the monster it spawned and fed, if we are to survive as a viable state. Period.
