N. Waziristan clashes: Troops pound militant hideouts, 40 killed

Re: N. Waziristan clashes: Troops pound militant hideouts, 40 killed

Damned if you do, damned if you don’t!

If all the usual critical voices are surprisingly silent on this then it probably means that civilian authorities and the army have reached a good understanding and agreement on this issue (or just this particular offensive). Perhaps they were all aware of it before hand? Before anyone gets all excited and carried away and lambasting politicians for not giving any silly statements for a show, it was also an army’s job to come clear that they will keep using the force despite openly supporting the illusive negotiations.

Right now, Imran’s giving a speech at some Christmas event in Pakistan (sorry Mullah brigade) and passionately talking about Namal University, social justice and tax reforms. But hey these issues are non issues, Immy must say something really silly and repetitive on foreign policy otherwise this forum will go out of business and some members will lose the real purpose of their lives…just thinking about it is making me sad.
