Re: Taleban apologists…
Well like I mentioned earlier, the interior minister himself is confusing the people, either he should present proofs of foreign involvement or keep quiet.
When foreign diplomats are stopped, and news is circulated by the media that they are black water agents and have pictures of sensitive locations in their possession, why no one from the military or government feels the urge to refute it? What can be said about this?
The matter of the fact is that the military doesn’t want to carry our operations in NWA due to the following reasons:
-
Their bets in Afghanistan for which they have tolerated 40000 people killed within the country
-
There are two main tribes in Waziristan (Wazirs and Mohmands). They have already lost support of Mohmands, if they do the same with Wazirs they know they will lose all of Waziristan as both tribes will use Eastern Afghanistan as the base to attack the forces and they won’t find any place to stand on.
All of Pakistan’s war on terror is based on a weak foundation, they should have gained the support of concerned tribes to route out the terrorists but instead they punished whole tribes. With the result TTP became stronger instead of weaker, if they use the same tactics in NWA I can guarantee you the military will lose there (and the military also knows that) hence the excuses (and blaming the consensus/apologists).
