Err, what makes you think that period didn’t give army the time to prepare, restrain and locate them?

In virtually all military history, it’s so typical for sides to sign temporary truce with a clear intention of preparing for war. This is how some of the best battles are won! There’s always so much to detente and diplomacy than meets the eye - it’s one of those things public at that time never finds out. The real story always comes out later.

So true,

on top of that, in winter, it is difficult for army to move with all its gadgets and air-strikes are also dependent on the weather… so Army+Civil govt did well to engage them in dialogues and bought all the time they wanted…

Plus to me it is more like good cop/bad cop game, Pak can divide and break them…
