| it is still not clear that military operation against Taliban would be successful or not. It would be a real military operation or it is just like previous one. Military operation has created panic situation for local population and a million of them made refugees. It is clearly seen that operation has been planned create human crisis to show the world how army is serious to finish off the Taliban. It seems like that military top brass has not been as serious to eliminate Taliban, as they are serious to get money from USA and world community. It would be last opportunity for army to collect money out of this Taliban project and Taliban has been proving an hen, which has been producing golden eggs for army and politicians. I had predicted about previous operation that it would have been failed and it did because military was not ready to get rid of Taliban, it was only American pressure, which was behind the operation. Military has been adopted a policy of creating militant groups and using them against democratic forces. It is still the policy of deceiving and deception in terms of eliminating religious extremists and fundamentalist groups. Pakistani military has permanent interests to control state institutions and Generals need undemocratic forces to back them up when they take actions against democratic Govts, even to terrorize masses, call democracy a Kufr is quite suitable for military Generals. Army has developed very deep rooted conflict between civil society and itself. Militant groups have been deliberately created to ally with military against civilians. None of the militant groups is against the interests of military nor they would be able to challenge their interests, because they have the same interests. The military has been forced to fight Taliban but it did not fight to eliminate them from our society because they share the ideology. Military itself has a large section of Jihadis in its ranks and sympathizer with religious militants. Military strategists would like use these para military groups against India as a proxy force. It is some how effective force to bleed India and Pakistan army wants to preserve them to fight against India in Afghanistan later or sooner. However, this time we have seen Swat operation has been launched in an aggressive way and impression has been given that army is ready to finish off Taliban but the preparation for civilian crisis is nowhere. It seems that there would be appeals for help to the world community. This is the way of making money, not only for the military but for the civilian bureaucracy as well. Military has left no other means to collect money from USA and this time US has conditionalized the aid money and military responded US with Nazam Adel in Swat, Malakand areas, US opposed this deal and increased military aid this time, making military boys happy, then we saw heavy artillery, tanks, gunship helicopters all over Swat, hitting Taliban positions. It still needs to understand that why 1,25000 military personnel have gone to kill 5,000 Taliban or ten, fifteen thousand Taliban? After previous operations we have seen Taliban came up with stronger force, even though, military did claim that so many Taliban have been killed, this time same claims have been made again and again by military, but it is yet to be seen, how successful this operation would be in Swat valley.
