I'm surprised at your ignorance...Ah well, not really. Have you even bothered to read the literature on the TTP?that was never their goal nor their demand, I dont know who came up with this nonsense.
all they wanted is Pakistan to support Afghan Talibans and pull out of WOT and stop drones
As of now Drones strikes have almost ended, WOT is ending, US is leaving
so now most of Talibans are saying why are we still killing and hence the divide amongst them, on top of that Air strikes and Pakistani drone strikes.
For your info, since its establishment, the TTP through its various demarches have announced the following four main objectives:
1. Enforce Shari`a in Pakistan, unite against NATO
forces in Afghanistan and perform
defensive jihad against the Pakistan
army.
2. React strongly if military operations are
not stopped in Swat District and North
Waziristan Agency.
3. Demand the abolishment of all military
checkpoints in the FATA area.
4. Refuse future peace deals.
So, it's not just about drone attacks and Pakistan's support in the WOT. Don't be under the impression that the TTP will just melt away along with the American withdrawal. They are here to stay. Period!
Read this link in order to expand your knowledge. There are many more papers written on the subject, but I'll give you one for starters....
