Who says this is our war?

Re: Who says this is our war?

I agree that Taleban and Al Qaeda are not the same organization but that doesn't change anything in this discussion. Taleban is what enabled al quaeda. Wasn't Mullah Omar Taleban? As long as Pakistan is involved, whether it be directly supporting al qaeda, taleban or anyother group(s) of jihadis it will be Pakistan's war. The very fact that the taleban guy in your above post 'extends' a welcome to the new PM and asks for ceasefire, should tell us where the was has been until 24 hours ago.

IMO the only reason the Pakistan govt was not able to completely overwhelm the terrorists in ALL parts of the country and in the borders is because the military itself had very strong links with the other side.
