It seems Mullah FM should now start counting his day because they surely are numbered now, considering the huge success PA is getting, the day shouldn't be to far when Mullah FM gets arrested or killed. I'll prefer the later.

US military and intelligence officials remain skeptical of the high casualty counts. "The Pakistani military says there have been no civilian casualties, but IDPs [internally displaced people] fleeing the area continue to tell stories of the military killing civilians during attacks on vehicles and artillery barrages on villages," a military officer who is tracking the fighting in Pakistan told The Long War Journal. "I think the Pakistani military isn't distinguishing between Taliban fighters and civilians."

"If we're to believe the Pakistani military, nearly one-fifth of the Taliban forces in Swat have been destroyed," an intelligence official who is highly skeptical of the reports said. "Yet the Pakistani military is struggling to advance on Mingora [the main town in Swat which is under Taliban control]. It doesn't add up.

That's the word in the U.S. Just because anonymous sources are used doesn't mean it's inaccurate, all the D.C. media does it. Mr. Roggio has developed quite a reputation.

Why are you repeatedly quoting a blog that has clear inconsistencies as pointed out elsewhere? He has distorted the facts in the past as well. The man even uses Taliban statements to justify his arguments!

Perhaps these 'officials' should offer their evidence, without that Roggio offers nothing but a rant.

Quite frankly it has become obvious you are here to troll and not engage in discourse.

Goodbye.

there must be civillains casuality. army has never said that none of the civillian got killed by them. but army never said the opposite either. surely those defyin the curfew must be gettin hit by army and we know shells from gunships have also killed saveral ppl.
also the reason y army is not enterin mangora is not the stiff resistance offered by talibans but bec many civillains are still trapped inside who need to get out before troops go in. therefore instead of launchin an attack on mangora army is rather concentrating on villages around mangora which are supposedly the strong hold of talibans

These Amreekans never get satisifed, do they?

Perhaps the only ways to satifsy them is to hand over our country to them...

One word for soloman, youre an IDIOT!

 

[Jihad]

Taliban shaving off their beards and getting the hell out of SWAT.
Man, Pakistan ZINDABAD!, our troops are kicking major ***.
Kill all single of them, we've had enough of them.

Pakistans army is doing a fantastic job considering the difficulties they face these are not ordinary rag tag militants they are die hard fanatics, the way these militants are trained is not ordinary but credit to the Pak army lions hopefully SWAT will be cleared soon as that will be the last stand of the Talibs.

I hope these Talib dogs dont get another opportunity to challenge the writ of the government no matter how islamic they claim to be, We have clearly seen after implementation of nizam e adl the Talibs are nothing but a bunch of thugs.
