Yeah you aren’t very current on anything are ya. Far from Peachy? Quick question have you lived anywhere other than the West? No regular summer vacations in Pakistan do not count.

I do have a question for you all who think the military is god when it comes to Pakistan. Why do you believe all this nonsense that our military is infallible? From what I have gathered our military officers couldn’t conduct a simple strategy on economic policy for 1 year let alone 10. The first thing to realize is that our military is far more propaganda than actual ability. FATA is an excellent example. A bunch of tribals are kicking our military’s ass. And more importantly the military is not omnipotent. Rather it is very very limited. The notion that the ISI or the Military is the bogeyman behind all the conspiracies in Pakistan is frankly retarded and has no merit.

I am actually from Pakistan buddy.

And military being god doesn’t mean it can’t be inefficient at what it does. There is also a problem where many pakistanis don’t see TTP as Pakistan’s war, but instead an american war. Proponents of this theory are people like Imran Khan who believe all was peachy before americans and would be the same after their “withdrawal”. Pakistan will have to tackle this tumor today or it would be worse tomorrow when there will be a bigger population and huge water problems —> food shortages.

You seem more of a unrealistic optimist like zaid hamid than anything else. As for FATA, what do you expect of an army that never trained for mountain combat and is more concerned with DHAs and fauji foundations while soldiers serve as batmans?
