Re: Top commanders say ‘enough is enough’
Very misleading title.
Can the government guarantee peace after the operation? This is what he has been saying all along. Indiscriminate, blind NW operation will result in even more bloodshed. We’ll see Anwer Pasha then crying about some shaheeds there as he does for the Lal Masjid people now.
It is also true that there is no umbrella group of militants now. We cannot really negotiate with them all.
There are a few major problems. If there is a major offensive in NW, we do not really know who the target is. Secondly, our security forces are not equipped with dealing with those who just depend on hit and run operations. How do we secure Afghan border? Afghans or Americans are not willing to do a counter operation on their side of the border. Sooner or later, we’ll have to go into Waziristan. Only that it must not be reactionary decision and get ourselves into a bigger mess than we are in. We must have thorough planning and preparations before any major offensive.
