Ppl want sharia which the Baboos are against ANYWAYS. Those who implanted sharia in Swat Today are NOT diff or ousiders but have been there . But this around their solun. has been more radical than anything elese becasue ofthe extreme situation the have been subjected too.
2
Finally, those who condemned these cruelties were non other than the bane of the secularist socilists. And they have also been vocal in condemneing he regime as well.
NOTE: these uys belong o a very wishy washy and inconsistent party.
3
satisfied people stood at 18.15 percent, according to the survey, and 17.

Most Pakistanis see justice as most important followed by educstion. A majority sees Taliban in Afghanistan as heroes.
4
Afghan Tali are as brutala s that of TTP but then again they are multifaceted and may offer a horrific alt. govt but are freedom fighters nevertheless.
6
News that they are fleeing is another propaganda. Plus please note that 1000s of civillians have been massacred and that govt. and its military are lying.
7
Imran Khan on Buner: ANP (secular party) did agreement w/ TTP in Swat endorsed by the parliament....barely a week passed, and only 25-30 Talis on 2 cars....according to ppl. And then the propaganda against Taliban...and govt. sent in gun ships, artillery and tanks and F16s.
10
oh ok so now the secular ANP party was the one which gave rise Taliban strength? This is another momment of doding the main pertinenet questions. Now we come ful cir. because those who opposed Mush for the sake of opposing him, are doing the exact same thing. Funy how those who dodge pertinent questions , may look polar opposites but in the end are the same shit.
11
Yessuh masssah!
In tis article , Kerry /US admin wished for more operation like this in Pakistan and in the next trail mark we'll see a prompt anouncement.
14
Notice the headline and the nuace it conveys and then read the content where residents blame the military and the factvtht ppl are surprised at the speed w/ which govt. wants ppl to start going back. So who wants civillians shields now huh?armored v
16
"(reconciliation)unnecessary for the success of Western goals in the country."
the line says it all.
Plus the report says Taliban believe they are winning. ow the fuck? lol

"If there are lots of dead civilians and lots of dead soldiers (in Mingora), it could do morale-sapping damage," Hasan said. "If we hear of 2,000 civilians dying, say, it's all over."

"If you talk to the (Pakistani) military leadership, they say they get it, but do they understand it the way we understand it?" a senior U.S. military official told McClatchy, speaking on the condition of anonymity in order to be more candid. "Often their definition of counterinsurgency is warning a village before an attack. That's it."
18
The Pakistani army denies knowing that its war against Islamic militants has caused civilian casualties, but patients and family members at a local hospital told McClatchy Thursday that multiple relatives were killed when the military shelled or bombed their homes.
"Ordinary people die. Not one Taliban has been killed."
"What is this child guilty of?" said Sajjad, pointing to his brother. "What is the guilt of those that died?"
20
Important lesson here, when we say that these chehens and uzbeks are no diferent than the ones who are fighting for freedom in their own homelands.
21
"You cannot distinguish between a Talib and a normal citizen," said Maj. Gen. Sajjad Ali, who commands troops in the northern portion of Swat. "The area is densely populated, and it's very easy for the terrorists to hide."
37
"We love the people of Pakistan, and because of this love we politely ask the citizens of Lahore, Islamabad, Rawalpindi and Multan to please evacuate their cities because we have marked out government targets there against whom we will carry out attacks as have never happened before," he warned.
38
Swat Taliban spokesman Muslim Khan could not immediately be reached for comment. In a recent interview, Khan said al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden and other militants aiming to oust the U.S. from Afghanistan would be welcome and protected in Swat -- a statement the government condemned.

E THE PAKISTANI TALIBAN LINKED TO AL QAEDA?

Intelligence officials and security experts say Mehsud is an al Qaeda ally and their cooperation has been increasing. He has given refuge to many foreign militants, including Arabs and Central Asians, but the nature of his links with al Qaeda's leaders, believed to be hiding on the Afghan-Pakistani border, is not clear.

47
If true ...stupid move by Taliban. But looks like all  this could be staged. Also, wziristan is where the main batle lies and the army and govt. is reluctant to go in. SO WHAT DA FUCK did they destroy thousands of lives for in strategically unimportant and historiocally unrelated SWAT?
48
Jundullah...so is this also Wahabi? and ALqaeda?
Iran and paki scum say jundullah is funded by US/CIA but BBC calls it an affiliate of Alqaeda. Wah ju Wah.
PLus another exampole of bad treament of Sunnis in Iran.
49
Peters calls the image of the Taliban and al-Qaida as pious Islamic leaders misleading. She says they are criminals. "If you study their day to day operations on the local level they start to look a lot more like Mafiosi than Mujahedin," she said.
62
In an interview with local media the defector said that Mehsud had established strong links with Israeli intelligence services, which were destabilizing the nuclear armed country. "These people (Mehsud and his men) are working against Islam."
65
hen the Taliban arrived in the village 10 months ago and drove the police out, local people rejoiced, said Mohammad Rasul, a toothless elderly farmer who keeps a few cows and chickens in a neatly tended orchard of pomegranate trees, figs and grape vines.

Although his own son was killed by a Taliban roadside bomb five years ago, Rasul said the fighters earned their welcome in the village by treating people with respect.

"We were happy (after the Taliban arrived). The Taliban never bothered us," he said.

Mansoor eulogized his brother in May via videotape to a large gathering of 10,000 Taliban supporters in Baluchistan province in Pakistan. "The blood of my brother will never go waste. We will never forget his sacrifices, and the role of other martyrs,” Mansoor said. "We will complete Dadullah's mission by expelling Americans and liberating Afghanistan." The crowd chanted, "Long live Mullah Omar, Long Live Osama bin Laden and Taliban movement."

Tali's getting smarter , adapting.
Inc. in US troops.
Security deteriorating.
Afg, slipping into hands of xtrmeists.
over 50% now believe tht war not worth fighting for.

undefinedMusharraf saved Pakistan from isolation: Sethi Daily Times Monitor LAHORE: India could have allied with the US if former president Pervez Musharraf had refused to join the war on terror after the September 11 attacks, Daily Times Editor-in-Chief Najam Sethi said on Friday. Talking in a Dunya News programme, Sethi said Musharraf’s decision to join the international coalition against terrorism had saved Pakistan from being isolated. He said the former president had also rescued the country’s nuclear programme by sacrificing Dr Abdul Qadeer Khan over the issue of illegal nuclear proliferation. He said Al Qaeda leader Osama Bin Laden wanted to liberate Palestine by defeating the US. He said Bin Laden had to set up his camps in Afghanistan after the Sudanese government expelled him. Sethi said the Al Qaeda leader knew about Pakistan after his stay in Peshawar as well as his participation in the Afghan jihad. Sethi said that Osama also had links with Pakistani politicians. After 9/11, the US had asked Musharraf to inform the Taliban to abandon Al Qaeda, as the international militant network had a clear hand in the attacks. “Tell us are you with us or not,” former US deputy secretary of state Richard Armitage had asked then Inter-Services Intelligence director general Mahmood Ahmad. Sethi said Musharraf had sent a delegation of religious scholars to Afghanistan in an attempt to convince the Taliban to expel Al Qaeda and its leadership. But Taliban leader Mullah Muhammad Omar had refused to expel Al Qaeda from Afghanistan. He said both Pakistan and India should work for regional peace so that South Asia could develop. He said all military governments had supported the US only for financial support and maximum relief to extend their own power.

A Pakistani official says 41 people have been killed in a suicide car bombing targeting an army vehicle in the northwest Shangla district.

Al-Qaida also has strong ties with the network run by Jalaluddin Haqqani and his son Siraj, who direct the fight against U.S. forces in eastern Afghanistan from the Waziristan tribal region in Pakistan.

That's the good Taliban. So the logic of branding all of Talibs or al of heir goals as bad by govt. is another hyppoc.
1. Well, this is a good new. May all have peace.
