Taliban announce peace talks with Pakistan

[StandForInsaf]

I don't understand, I though TTP was RAW backed organization, how come they are calling for peace

Not trolling.

TTP is not a single entity it is composed of various groups most of them are backed by foreigners not all.

What foreigners?

TTP is enemy of NATO+allies.

We cannot enter into dialogue with the Taliban for the following reasons:

1) We have seen how well the agreements in SWA, Swat and Bajaur have been honoured. Like a wise man once said:
"Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me".

2) These people have taken the lives of over 40,000 innocent Pakistanis, can we really allow them to go scotch free ?

3) These people will use this as an opportunity to restock for another summer offensive like they did with the Bajaur Accord of 2009.

In a nutshell, there is no room for peace talk. The Taliban have been beaten to a pulp and are in no condition to carry out a sustained campaign of attacks against the state any longer. It would make sense to demand a general surrender. To start negotiations with them on the "My enemy's enemy is my friend" maxim will be the biggest diplomatic blunder in the history of the world. These people will stab us in the back at the first chance they get.

How many NATO kills have they claimed ?
Now divide that against 40,000 Pakistanis.
You have your ratio, you have your answer.

They're Allies of Al-Qaeda and they're in Afghanistan and many of the drone strikes are aimed at them.

Yap after peace talks next phase should be dis-arming militants and providing them proper jobs.

You guys are most confused lot in the world your hatred shifts from one goal post to other goal post in no time. Whenever any bomb blast occurs, you throw wild accusations to say that TTP is controlled by RAW to destroy Pakistan, but now 180 degrees tilt how can you support talks between RAW controlled TTP and your government and cheer for that

Most of the times, I get a feeling from some members here that, as long as it works against India and Indian Hindus, you can go to any extent to lie.

You guys are beyond anybody's comprehension

Hakeemullah Mehsud breaks his silence, threatens US - The Long War Journal

The two links you have posted are closely related, here's how in a chronological list of events:

1) American drone strike kills baitullah mehsud.
2) TTP carries out Camp Chapman Attack as vengeance for the blood of baitullah.
3) Americans carry out drone strike against hakimullah mehsud in retaliation for the Camp Chapman attack.

They have animosity between them but they are hardly enemies.
