There should have been some tent city, water, sewage, health and daily food availability decided before such huge military operations. My heart goes for these displaced people. I don't see anyone offering help to them. That is a shame. What happened to those jet black dyed bearded mullas who talked non stopped helping them. These folks are still our bretheren: our fight is with the wrong elements only.

NOT A HOME ANYMORE.Homes are not meant to do-It is result of illegal/lethal activities going on there for decade I dont feel sorry about FATA/SWA/NWA or any other places in Balochistan like that.Economics based weapons/trade based on smuggling /agriculture based norcotics/gun on every shoulders.Now what is happening is result of own doings.

Finally statement issued and said that FIVE militant commanders killed in the recent waziristan Attacks
More than EIGHTY killed and hundreds houses and shops destroyed
Half of Mir Ali Bazzar demolished.Militants or their commanders killed,job done because they are at war with the state and security forces has no choice but to attack if they dont understand the language of peace
But the question is that who are those EIGHTY killed and all these houses and shops are the property of the militants OR this is so called collateral damage??
Simple calculation is that for one militant commander,more than fifteen civilians killed and five houses to be destroyed more than hundred houses destroyed and same no.of shops destroyed,,,what a collateral damage?????

Absolutely right! But you look at the issue superficially,think a while you will realize that this mess is created by Military and Mulla for their own benefits in the name of to protect the country But the difference is that they trained them to kill every one which they point out to them: be it Muslim, non-Muslim, Shia, Sunni etc, it does not matter. But what happened that those against whom these were trained also learnt the same technique and trained some for their own missions and were forced to fire back.

Every action in Pakistan seems to have no preplaning. A huge scale oppration can be called cosmic war but noting for effect borne. Why? anyone have not thought. Only thought about the speedy aid from America.

What happened to all the people protesting drone strikes now? Are these bombs more accurate than the precision guided missiles from the drones?

By same logic, Karachi should be razed to the ground, as it is crawling bhatta-khors and car-jackers.

Very sad to see these pictures of poor people suffering. While the rest of Pakistani's sleep comfortably in their homes and continue calling for bombardment in the tribal areas. Shame on all of us. We are a divided nation.
