Breaking News: Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan commander surrenders

Maybe but catching low level thugs while "protecting" or "shielding" top people like Baitullah Mahsud and Fazlullah is not going to cut it this time.

We can fool the Americans for a while but we cannot fool ourselves.

Besides, my understanding was that a thug named Mangal Bagh was commander of TTP in areas near Peshawar and Jamrud.

Either the current operation ends only after Fazullah and Baitullah surrender or get killed or we will know that this is all a fake effort to give cover for our leaders visits to US.
