Re: Make FATA a separate province: Khattak
*Already know this and I have been pointing this out on the forum for at least a year now. *
I have not seen you mention this anywhere, recently.
**
Civilians always suffer the most in war. Their tribal lashkars should have been more effective in controlling the talibs.
**
Did you READ what I said? They will not go against the Taliban. The PAK military has not gone against the Talibs in the past. The fights are against foreign extremists who hardware that has Pak military worried because of all casualties.
Also, "Americans say that Pakistan has not been effective in controlling terrorist activity," to which our FO responded angrily. Do you realize that you are saying the same things? Of course not.
**
Yeah, that’s a bunch of nonsense that no one in this world will buy. Support of terrorists is strongest in the tribal areas, but is also very much strong in rest of Pakistan. Rallies in support of terrorists and so called jihad are a figment of people’s imagination.

You know jack because the closest that you have gotten is the border, probably years ago because you were scared to go in even back then. After 9/11 there was support, up until the recent agreements of a few years back. The fact that so much misery has been brought upon the agencies both the civilian population and the leadership has caused it the public opinion to turn the tide. Note I am referring to the foreigners here.
You are most likely sitting in Karachi probably reading some two bit newspaper or tv program. Hell even Frontier Post has pulled back coverage of FATA. Listen no one is asking for your "expertise" on Karachi ok? If that happens, I will gladly defer to you because you will know the facts on the ground. Don't tell me you know this because so and so reason...name names, give me people in FC/Pak Military and then lets talk about who and what you know ok?
**
No paranoia here, when even Mullah Nazir, Taliban leader is afraid of suicide bombers trying to kill him.
**
Looking like E Pakistan more and more eh? It would really be big mistake to treat FATA like occupied territory. But who are we kidding? Some people here consider FATA not part of Pakistan.
**
You shouldn't be worried about Pakistan or anyone else trying to subdue FATA. It's the American's that will try to obliterate FATA after any large terrorist attack on them that they think originated from FATA that should be on your mind.
**
Listen I am worried Americans. Unlike others who exhibit bravado and come up with BS, I don't want Americans involved in FATA or anywhere else in Pakistan. I am not against Pakistani military going into FATA, because it is a part of Pakistan after all. But you don't about how it was done and the toll on civilian life, which causes an uproar in the region.
**
What has been proven false in what thread?
**
You stated that there was NO terrorist/extremist movements in Syria because they had been successfully crushed in the non-violent techniques in FATA thread. I expected you to come back and at least admit that you were wrong after I had completely debunked your assertions using online/internet sources. But you ran away and never came back.
Lost respect for you, chief. If you can't come back and at least admit that you are flat out wrong then I can't spend time discussing politics. In terms of politics there are many people here who just blow hot air/make things up, I don't think you were one of them.
**
Reality is often times hard to digest. Time is running out for FATA and even Pakistan. Some of you don't fully understand the consequence of not reigning in terrorists.**
I am being realist here. Let's see what miracles the Pakistan will perform in FATA. I am sure that this will continue to be a hot topic in the coming months. will restart this thread t that point and we will see who understood the consequences.
