Taliban vow to eliminate PM, family members

i donot think **all **these attacks are managed by Taliban for all their name is used too often. I highly doubt musharraf was as readily targetted by taliban, there are many agencies working in pakistan, **CIA, RAW **whatnot, to keep the phobia alive. Happened similarily in Zia’s time with Russian service Khad.

Unfortunately, the militants in Pakistan are not CIA/RAW employees of their own country, rather people from Afghanistan/Pakistan whether we accept it or not.

@Croquet

^not really i am saying Taliban cannot be in so many places at the same time. One has to be naive to buy everything that is attributed to them. It is an old way and it works wonder, similar in any country that was facing the problems that pakistan is facing right now. You have to understand there are many terrorist supported, financed by sources that wish to see this problem to presist to pressurise the administration. it happens all too often in the world to say it paranoia.

What is the number of Taliban in your opinion? Is it a few tens, hundreds or thousands?

@CresFactor

Or just be an average GS pakistani who found out Taliban existed after he heard about them in Bush’s speeches.

Same people who chase after WMDs in Iraq. Thats how naive some people on this board are.

Are you saying that even Pakistani journalists learn about Taliban’s existence from Bush speeches?

@Croquet

so we have figured out who killed Bhutto, eh? should make news. **Sherpao just recently called the current operation an attack on pakhtoons and is threatenign **if it isn’t halted then circumstances would be dire, i think he is not taking it seriously himself.

More than likely Sherpao is scoring a political point here, he is from PPP. What good did PPP-Sherpao do for people fleeing from the affected areas? Its all talk, hot-air, nothing more than that.
