Fazul Ullah of TTP is more violent and merciless than his predecessor . He hates Pakistan. Since he came his viciousness against Pakistan Army and establishment has markedly increased. Pak Govt should ask US or use its own drones to take him out soonest.

The only hope for Pakistan seems to be a cathartic nuclear attack on itself especially on Karachi and the restive KPK and tribal areas!

The government is still pushing for peace talks......For God sake stop this madness and launch a full fledged operation against these barbarians...The government should set down with the US and NATO and planned out a strategy otherwise this government is going to regret this term in the office...

Its like Lions being led by sheeps both in civil and military leadership. Clearly its the work of all those inside and ruling afghansitan. Let there be no doubt about it. its the work of cia/raw/mossad/northern alliance. When are we going to pay these evil entities in the same coin? 50000 dead and counting.

Lets offer the culprits "Muzakrat" because according to the guardians of our faith the punishment for all murderers and thieves is to just talk them to death.

The message to the country's rules is is very clear "Fight those we consider to be resisting our designs in the region or we will unleash their *mutated cousins and step-sons* on you and make the price for dithering very high"
