It is unclear if the operation is being led by the Army or the paramilitary Frontier Corps.

It is being led by Taliban.

Sorry, hate to be a skeptic, but this action fails the smell test, big time. Pakistan knew full well it couldn't just shut down the supply route so they offset that action with a claim to be going after the bad guys themselves.

Of course the powers-that-be on our side won't call the action BS, but rather give it lip-service. I would love to see what just a few months of the US saying “NO!” to these rouses would lead to in the WOT.

I know we'll have to put such dreams on hold for at least four years. I can't see Obama and his team standing up to our enemies. Hell, I can't even see them standing up to the ultra-libs in their own Party!
