Re: US involved in secret talks with senior Taliban
^ It doesn't matter as long as they have no influence in Pakistani militant elements. Root out these foreign elements and their presence in Afghanistan won't make a tiny bit of impact on Pakistan. We have our mortal enemy on eastern borders and had Russia on western boarders for 12 years, did they pose any threat to Pakistan's existence in the way these TTP goons do? NO, because they had no INFLUENCE in Pakistani society.
We must root out them, talking with them will open a door to increase TTP's influence on western borders, which will lead to far worse situation Pakistan.
Irony is our "leaders" are not sincere with country, otherwise these developments can turn the tables for Pakistan.
