Almost instantaneous news on every drone strike but almost no information about Pakistan's own offensive -- why is that?
Good job. Hit them hard from all directions.
I wonder if the Pakistan Army/ ISI/ Politicians are informed by the USA prior to each drone strike.
No more places to hide for these barbarians. A one, two punch by the Pak Army and the US drones. I love the new COAS Gen. Sharif, he did not waste much time in implementing a military strategy against the terrorists. Pakistan cannot thank him enough. Now they are on the run for good.
Rahem kar Allah. Pakistani army should start defending our tribal people before it's too late. No country in the world will tolerate attacks for so many years. Least they can do is shoot down these drones.
Well Done ... Eid Gift for Terrorists !
