Yes Neo and that is going to be done very soon.
Just 3 days back top police and administeration officials have been reshufled which already indicated the coming operation.

NOw in NWA and SWA there is calm and most of the foreigners after formation of local tribal Lashkars for taking action against all those who attack army or indulge in terror, have been fled to Afghanistan. There are reporst and i also personally talked to some tribals who told that.


So now the government have enough time and ease at hands to launch the operation and as the intellgence and other segments have already prepared and indicated it would be decisive operation to purge the area of the scum.

and also the people of Swat are fed up of this fazlullah a rep delegation few days back met the caretaker CM NWFP and asked for getting rid of this man after which 16.000 more FC men had been sent there.
The security forces took postions yesterday while fazlullah and his men had run away to some secret place

The situation in Pakistan is getting turbulent as time goes on.

The impasse in Iraq and Afghanistan is making the terrorists bolder and more innovative. The tie up with the US is apparently not to the liking of many along the Durand Line and its nearabouts and hence these terrorists are finding sanctuary. They are also becoming audacious in that this Fazullah was audacious to start an illegal FM station and exhort people to rise against the govt.

To be sure, there has to be foreign terrorist abetting these elements, but it would be escapist to believe that the locals are not hand in glove.

With the return of Benazir to Pakistan, who is more vociferous in support to the US and is more vociferous in her desire to crush the Taliban and the terrorists, the fear of greater reprisals against the terrorist is obviously rising since the next govt, given the indications, will be a Benazir one with Musharraf as President. Therefore, the Taliban and the terrorists will go a greater distance to create chaos and mayhem.

The silver lining is that the general population and those sitting on the fence, will be equally worried about this type of a turmoil daily affecting their lives and thus shall unite in the fight against terrorism. Likewise, the elements within the uniformed people who are pro Taliban and who do not appreciate the Pak US ties will also be disgusted since no one like his own to be killed for doing what they are supposed to do, irrespective of one's personal likes or dislikes.

In short, such wanton and horrifying acts will only help unite Pakistan to fight against these despicable elements at work to create terror through mayhem.

However, at the same time, all efforts must be made to wean away the local civilians from these horrid elements at work!

A tough call, but nevertheless essential for the peace and prosperity of Pakistan.

A lot of factors playing into this - the occupation of Afghanistan by a "Zionist Crusader", the perception of marginalization of the Pashtun in the Karzai Govt., the rise and spread of a militant Islamic ideology intertwining with the Mujahideen cause and the "Pashtun uprising" against the GoA.

I really don't see a way out of this, with over 50% of the Afghan Pashtun not seeing the Taliban as a threat, unless there are compromises made by both NATO and the Taliban. At this rate, with development in the Pashtun areas in Afghanistan at a crawl, winning the people over seems a pretty long shot.

And so long as the extremist Mullahs can tie in "Zionist crusaders occupying Muslim country- GoP puppet of occupying regime" etc. etc., they will be able to hoodwink people into supporting their "moral cause", and the remainder will acquiesce under the threat of violence. Case in point being the Jirga sent to disarm the Mullah in Swat, ended up with members making fiery speeches in favor of said Mullah, after threats of beheading.

Wishfull thinking, this could very well be the headline in some ToI report!

True we're going thru some rough times and we also know who's to blame for it and we've gone thru lot worse than this...but no way the situation here is like Iraq or even Afghanistan.

Ok forget hw i put into words.

But i dont think pakistan ever had a more turbulent/violent time!

Mehsuds formally ask army to leave Tank compound

SAROKI: Chieftains of the Mehsud tribe have formally requested that the Pakistan Army evacuate the political compound in Tank, South Waziristan. Tribal elders submitted a written application framing this request to South Waziristan Political Agent Hussain Zada Khan on Thursday.

In the application, the tribal elders say the Political Katchairy in Tank has been the headquarters of the Mehsud tribe since 1906. They say hundreds of citizens belonging to the Mehsud tribe, including veiled females, visit the compound daily in connection with formalities and documentation relating to national identity cards, domicile and other such routine matters.

The application says the army had slowly taken over the political compound, which caused locals severe stress.

The elders requested that the army evacuate the political compound to respect and restore the rights of local citizens and tribal traditions.

Tank, a small town on the edge of South Waziristan, has drawn much attention of late as it is seen to typify creeping Talibanisation in the North of the country, particularly in the Federally Administered Tribal Areas. It is largely considered to be under the sway of the pro-Taliban South Waziristani commander Baitullah Mehsud.

The significantly increased troop deployment in the area, which has been in place for months now, is perceived to be part of efforts to block the Taliban commander from expanding his influence into neighbouring Dera Ismail Khan.

Local citizens and government officials have commented that military deployment and operations, along with General Pervez Musharraf’s attempted reforms in the area have eroded the power of the local administration and curtailed citizen’s rights.

Very audacious and scheming of the Mehsud clam!

They work against the govt and now they are contriving reason to ensure that the Army gets handicapped!
