When will you ever say something that make sense? Did you see 5 chinese killed today? Are you ready for 1000s of such attacks on daily basis if Taliban actually joins TTP.
What's the purpose of capturing Wakhan border, when there will be so many suicide attacks going on in your country? What an immaturity to grab a piece of land and push your country to chaos and can't keep peace in your own country. How you will keep your own country together by poking at so many wrong places ?
I fully support to attack the TTP. But what you,
@hussain0216 and
@Zarvan do is that you guys skip the intelligence agency part and jump straight to attacking part. I always hear war cry, "time to attack", "let's scramble JF-17s, TB2s and pound them" lol. Pound them where?? Instead asking air-force, you should be demanding from ISI to find the chief of TTP and other bad guys. Once ISI has found them, then its too easy for airforce to destroy that house or base. The terror group does not have airbases or established permanent head quarters that you can go and hit it. They remain in hiding and conduct meetings and plannings and your intelligence agency has no idea where they are. For the last many years whenever there is a major attack, Pakistan air force after few hours did a "symbolic" counter attack just to tell the nation that we have avenged by randomly hitting known spots. Those attacks never yielded results because no top leaders were ever killed in such attacks. You never mention that head of TTP is killed because you never had his location. The real success would be to hit when this meeting was happening, such things can only happen when you have competent intelligence agency which is doing its job. So you should never skip all prior steps and jump to attack.
Remember the US did not killed OBL by randomly bombing all over Pakistan like Lahore, karachi, Peshawar. The CIA found his exact location. You too cannot ask the PAF to go and bomb TTP before asking the ISI to do its job. Shift your demands from the PAF to ISI. This is intelligence agency job to find you the terror heads and their network.
Point of action should be:
1- Develop a genuine intelligence agency. Start from sacking incompetent officers including the chief.
2- The capable intelligence agency will eventually find you the locations of TTP top command.
3- Now is the time to launch your drones and F-16s to hit those targets. (you cannot skip first 2 points to reach here)
4- Concentrated effort on Diplomacy, Isolate the TTP, use every extra effort to get the tribes and millions of people in tribal agencies at your side, concentrated effort with the Taliban (remember they hold the entire country of Afghanistan). Getting Taliban on your side is the most important thing. You should know, its practically impossible to guard entire AF-Pak region, the border is of 2700 km. No man-power, no capability on earth exists to guard such vastness. Your only success will come through with a friendly govt in Afghanistan.
