First, did the Pakistani army or the ISI make this deal with Taliban renegades Maulvi Nazir and Hafiz Gul Bahadur? Second, despite the official “now worries” stance from the U.S., did it know about the deal in advance? Third, why is Pakistan, with one of the world’s largest armies, only sending 30,000 troops into this fight? Does it want to do nothing more than administer a slap on the wrist?
The 30,000 is even more too low if it’s already producing a civilian backlash.
Meanwhile, in Afghanistan, many of the people we are battling aren't even Taliban.
