@F Khan:
Get real - it's a civil war and the military won't allow Pakistan journalist to cover it ... maybe you can give a reasonable explanation and don't bother trying to say it's to protect journalist.
@woody: I agree. One would need to be low functioning to believe anything politicians, military and government officials release.
May Allah bless the soldiers. But the real fight's now moving into the towns and cities. Ordinary people need to step up and help the police and army take out extremists, wherever they may be
woody: one jawan for every ten militants and you do not believe it...very costly battle....and you do not believe it...surprising.
Military goes to great lengths to keep journalist out for a reason - I don't place much credence on what their public relations dept has to say.
10%..... Very high price to pay......
