The fall of Swat..

Plain rhetoric. Those certain areas have been like that from the beginning of Pakistan thus Army never went into the tribal areas. But now it is there, and it is doing whatever is necessary to get rid of extremists.

Here's just a little bit of it for you, and hopefully it will inspire you to read and study history of Pakistan :

People of FATA never turned against Pakistan in its entire history and always proved unpaid defenders of its western borders. There is a popular quote about Tribals, “Give them honor, they will die for you”. The fact realized by founder of the nation Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah, as soon after creation of Pakistan in 1947, he ordered the withdrawal of newly formed Pakistan army’s contingents from the region as he knew the great potential and gallant character of its inhabitants and declared them natural army of Pakistan at its Northern borders. The tribesmen proved their commitment and pledge to Pakistan during the first Indo-Pak war of 1948. On the call of their great Quaid, thousands of tribal volunteers bravely fought side by side with Pak Army against much superior Indian Army in Kashmir. They suffered heavy causalities but remained victorious in capturing huge piece of land. This war also proved the only war in which Pakistan actually retained some territory.

Re: The fall of Swat..

^Some of us have never been to the beautiful valley of Swat, so we wouldn’t know anything about it before or now. :rolleyes:

It would really help if people didn’t make overrated statements used by media pundits and instead formed their own opinion based on facts.

Re: The fall of Swat..

isn't that thread about sawat?

Re: The fall of Swat..

So will the Pakistani gov't finally get a pair and mine the border with Afghanistan? Who cares if Karzai is crapping in his pants - incontinence comes with age anyway.
