Re: Pakistani Taleban: Run by foreign agencies
Are you kidding me? How hard is it to slap a bomb on ten year old and send him of to be killed?
Where is the sophistication in that?
The beards have been perfecting their bomb making capacity since god only knows how long. By now they must be rather good at it. And where did they get this sophistication in making bombs? Well they have had a lot of funding to figure it out. Recall the Saudis and the CIA once supported them, as did the Pakistani state. These terrorist organizations like Al Qaeda are anything but poor. Look how much OBL was worth.
Secondly, modern warfare involves tank, aircraft, and enemy who is easy to locate. Super Forces are not going to be able to counter a guerrilla force that hides under a rock and melds into the local populous. Modern armies arent magical. They cant simply point a gun in the air, pull the trigger in washington, and magically hit a Taliban between the eyes hiding in a cave in Waziristan.
