This is very strange that despite such fatal attacks by the terrorists they are still convening indecisive meetings. Why they don't go to eliminate the enemy from their hide outs enabling the common individuals to feel secure. The policy makers must note that it is the strategic policy of the enemy to gain time to reinforced itself for full scale abnoxious activities. Please initiate action against them the masses are awaiting your positive response.

It takes brutal killing of 60 thousand brave Pakistanis to compel our government to kill 100 talib terrorists. Going my simple mathematics, another one crore 20 lakh ( 120,00000) Pakistanis will have to die brutal deaths for government to eliminate all 25 thousand to 30 thousand of these vermin.

Sharif Sahib , while you are discussing security situation, talibans already killed a judge & 11 others in a court, in Islamabad. When are you going to realize that you are talking to just one group, there are dozens other. Talibans are not idealogue, but a bunch of cutthroat bandits.

@asfi:And Imran Khan has agreed to bowl although he declined to start the ball. Shahidullah sahid will be the opening batsman for the TTP team.

Dawn, you should close your comments if you dont like honest opinion.
Mr PM, how many more meetings you want to convene before you take any action against these terrorists. Everyday innocent citizens are killed by these illiterate TTPs who only understands the language of 'lato ke bhot bato se nahin mante'. Please dont deal with them, they are buying time to regroup and again kill innocent citizens.

Now we are sure that these Nawaz Sharif chaps have been paid by these terrorists to purchase the elections and so called MANDATE or MANDAKE. Otherwise people are being killed left and right and he is talking of "Muzakrat Muzakrat" like "Mazaq-e-Jmhuriat" or Zardari's"Mafahamat". For who's protection they are getting people killed by these paid terrorists.
