I believe you were the who a while back refused to accept that peace with the Taliban was futile, and you even denied the hub of the problem was in North Waziristan. You called me a “War-monger,” as I recall. Now who’s the war monger?

How soon we forget.

The whole thing turned exactly the way I told you it would. The public did know, but people like you were to accept the reality. You were to busy parroting your great “leader” to figure out what everyone already knew.

Oh look, first post back after a long ban and already resorted to personal attacks, lol. That’s a massive chip on shoulder I see.

Remaining allied to the ultimate message of the thread, it took three years to finally find out who was after all reluctant to launch operation. It probably wouldn’t take long to find out exactly how effective Peace Talks have been in the grand scheme of things. Peace Talks would’ve been called futile if they were either treated as final surrender or the final solution. But it was seen as neither. The Peace Talks were designed for those fringe groups that were willing to surrender, while the operation was presented as an imminent warning to those still holding on to their guns. Considering all the divisions and infighting that took place amongst Taliban prior to Peace Talks, the profound and extremely sensitive intelligence gathering by Pakistan army, as well taking into account the miraculously low retaliation rate (touch wood), I’d say Peace Talks was a worthwhile thing to do. Just like appeasement against Hitler was.
