Re: Breaking News: Paramilitary Police clash with Lal Mosque idiots!
who died and made you a military strategist? How many times have you been under siege with all utilities cut off, your ammo depleted, food supplies depleted, your leader abandoned you, your mates killed, intermittent firing all day and all night and virtually no hope of escape?
It is a shame really for all the calls for action on gs, as if it is a game.
You are right: Siege is old military strategy that works. Keep people under siege guessing when raid would come and expecting raid anytime means tension and frustration. Believing that it might come after long time mean preservation of provisions and suffering. Thoughts of raid and death after raid could make many go berserk. Death is diferent if it comes abruptly. Slowly, people must be getting exhausted inside and must be thinking to give up. Longer the siege, easier it would be to finish the job without much loss of lives. If siege would stay indefinitely (until they surrender), time would come that people under siege would have no option other than surrendering.
Only proplem with indefinite siege in Pakistan case is that, Pakistan has many retarded so-called ulemas, many retards in opposition, and many retards are there in government too, like Ejaz-ul-Haq and Chauhdary Shujaat. These people must be trying their best to get some relief and concession for people under siege and as time passes, their effort must be getting somewhere, and that is the biggest problem. It is their efforts and pressure on government, that might push government to get the job done as quickly, resulting in some casualties.
