war of terror.
In principle I am for the drone attacks. But where are the hypocritical PMLN leaders who used to say during PPP's tenure that they would stop the attacks, and who claimed they had stopped the attacks following the botched US visit by our lateefa Prime Minister.
What are these drones doing at operation zarb-e-azb, I thought we were handling it just fine?
its funny to see when drones attack, victims are civilians, when paki army, airforce attacks, hundreds of victims are militants
why not blame imran khan for this,too?
Pakistan is attacked on the eastern as well as western borders. More people are being killed on our western borders but we are afraid of US-Afghan alliance so we don't fight back. Meanwhile looks like India is creating a diversionary tactic on the Eastern borders to economically isolate Pakistan. Pakistani army as usual doesn't want to respond to drones for obvious reasons.
This is a one sided war.
