Video Program Playing | Pakistan Herald
to summarize:
-
it is a war a different kind of war.
-
when asked we here incidents and statements of the taliban leaders from areas you’ve secured?
many incidents reported never happened or it was not like the way they were reported.
as for taliban leaders he says they are hiding one of them probably n swat, he says he had decided to focus on areas cleared then going after them but sooner we would get them. they issue statements and those are portrayed as if they are incharge still.
-
taliban are marching: he says they arent if you go back 7-8 months they have lost 5 tribal agencies…
-
as for suicide bombings : that is max they can do and we have to bear it for a while.
lets see and hope for the best.
