Re: Unrest in Waziristan
I disagree..if there were foreign troops people present in Waziristan it could not have occurred without the knowledge of the local administration..there has been a massive troop presence on the border since 9/11..how did hundreds of people slip through? A clean up operation could have been conducted anytime after or before 9/11..why did it happen at that specific time? It happened solely because the PM wanted the yanks to be kept happy..ironic isn't it? I wonder how many people were told that their loved ones died because George Bush said so?
The cantonments were not there to keep the tribes in check.. that is the logic of brown sahibs..the cantonments represent a position where troops are allowed to concentrate..often to keep warring tribes in check
