Wazoo. The Sharif government was left with no choice but to suspend the peace charade following the Taliban's slaughtering of the FC soldiers. Air force jets have been pounding suspected terrorist camps since then, reportedly taking out several bully boy commanders.Yet, there seems to be no comprehensible strategy behind the latest targeted bombings. It is still unclear whether the blitz is the beginning of a full-fledged operation to dislodge the TTP from its stronghold or retaliatory action to settle scores to be followed by a return to the dialogue mantra.
Also, there's no indication yet of the civilian leadership showing resolve to take the battle to its conclusion. It seems quite plausible that it was pressure from the military that forced the government to give its consent to the surgical strikes.
