Not as long as Gen. Musharraf keeps announcing his offensives in the newspapers. 'Operational Security' is not taught in the Pakistani military, apparently.

Operational security was apparently also not taught to Lt Gen David Barno.

And now the inevitable denial

http://www.dawn.com/2005/04/21/top4.htm

A senior military commander here on Wednesday described as 'highly irresponsible' remarks by a US general that Pakistan was planning an army operation against militants in North Waziristan.

"It is a figment of his imagination. No operation is being launched in North Waziristan. This is highly irresponsible on his part. This is unwarranted and I condemn it," Peshawar Corps Commander Lt-Gen Safdar Hussain told reporters
