Baitullah is running this war with drug money.Stop his source of funds and manpower and he will be defeated.There are some people in these columns who are suggesting nuclear attacks.Do they want to turn the land into no mans land and kill innocent civilians.You cant eat an egg after cracking it with a sledge hammer. Imitating the Sri Lankan method is not an option.The Sri lankans did not care for the innocent Tamil civilians.If there were Singhalese civilians in Tiger territory they would not have resorted to indiscriminate bombing.There should be more ground forces as it will reduce collateral damage. Casualties among the army will be higher, but the IDP will have a home to return to instead of ruins

“At what point will the Pakistani Army proclaim victory against the Taliban. Pakistan Army has to first define its objectives clearly and then set out to achieve them.”

The Pakistan Army is one of the most professional in the world, I’m quite sure they’ve laid out exactly what needs to be done.

They haven’t told anyone else, why would they? If the Army wants to win, it needs to plan, keep it’s mouth shut and eliminate these ememies of the state.

That being said, Baitullah should be captured alive and punished on the National Television in front of the nation and world.

The latest news as reported is:

“It said that parents of boys, who had been forcibly taken away by the Baitullah Mehsud group for suicide training in South Waziristan, had demanded release of their sons. Baitullah is reported to have refused to free them.”

A question to all Pakistanis who remain to be nuteral or have sympathy with Baitullah Mehsud group. What can be more merciless action than forcing young boys to become suicide bomber. Do you trust these evils enemies of humanity to teach the religion of Islam to you and become custodian of the religion of Islam and sharia in Pakistan.

They will never know the painful death in suicide bombing unless, when captured, taken to a remote area and made suicide bomber

Atman, I do not think you or I are in any postion to tell Pakistan Army what to do. If they were not qualified to defend Pakistan from its enemies, they will not be in the Army and possibly you will be in the Army.

I have read one of the comment saying saying that we (assumingly pathans) are sick of the punjabi dominance and arrogance and to give freedom. To the person who made this comment I would ask whether the taliban showed any leniency towards the people of NWFP. I belive NWFP have never had such a chaos in the last so many decades. Where does the punjabi dominance and arroagnce come in all this warfare. The taliban have done almost everything to terrify each citizen of Pakistan. Is the commentator ready to go to taliban and live with them.
We should be very thankful to our army for taking the right action although they should have taken this step a lot earlier but better late than never. I sincerely hope that Swat regains it lost status of as a hot spot for the tourists and once again the local swatis can thrive and live peacefully with their children can send their children to school (specially girls) without having any fears for their safety. I know that there is strong power in dua have seen it many times let us all pray together for the unity, continued prosperity and all the good things for our beloved country Pakistan and the Pakistani People.
I would conclude by saying that I am not a punjabi but a true bhayya in all respects.
