Following is the text of a leaflet that will be be dropped in Mehsud areas in coming days. The text is both in Urdu and Pashto.
Urdu part is shown here.
Clicking on the text image to the left will take you to its source webpage where you can view both Urdu and Pashto versions.
This is a positive gesture in my view and may counter the propaganda which local people are subjected to by the enemies of Pakistan. One has to distinguish between good guys and bad guys here and try to get as many good guys on your side as possible. English translation of the message is given below:
My Message to the Proud Mehsud Tribes: I admit that all of our tribal areas including Mehsuds are faithful to Pakistan and they have always worked for the defense of Pakistan as volunteers.
The aim of current military operation is not to attack proud and patriotic Mehsuds but it is to save them from the clutches of ruthless terrorists who have destroyed peace of the whole region. Therefore the aim of this operation will be Uzbek terrorists, foreign terrorists and local terrorists.
Miltary’s aim is to let Mehsuds live in their area in peace. I am hopeful that Mehsud tribes will side with Pakistan military in this operation and will rise as one against these ruthless terrorists so that Pakistan’s green crescent flag will once again flutter in Mehsud lands with full glory. God Bless you. with best wishes. Gen Ashfaq Kayani. Long live Pakistan. Long Live Pak Military and Long Live Mehsud tribes.

Nationalism is a reality and a necessity,and you need to reconcile yourself to it. The idea that only Muslim identity exists and that ethnicity, history, culture and language don’t matter is unworkable and has been a flop all throughout Islamic history.
Kayani is asking the Mehsuds to cooperate in order to get rid of local and foreign terrorist trash that is causing problems in Mehsud area and all over Pakistan. It is a legitimate demand.
Additionally nobody made you Allah(SWT) enforcer.
Pakistan army is the only army in the world that can defeat
these nefarious (eyes without a face) Talibans.
Pakistan army is fierce, swift, relentless killing machines that Taliban deserve.
Go Pakistan Army Go! We are with you.
Anonyomous, that’s some pretty convuluted logic you are using. The strategy of the US is to eliminate OBL and his extremist friends by supplying them with weapons they can use to defend themselves? I am open to believing anything at this point, but at least come up with something that makes sense.
Kasim Saheb, You might want to read this article:

They may be one of the providers. And no, please don’t think i believe in “conspiracy theories” like the whole world wants to destroy Pakistan.
Taliban is only created to justify the US presence in South Asia and the Middle East. Pakistan is very strategically located so they must invade Pakistan as well.
They destroyed Iraq and Afghanistan for nothing. And now they believe that they will find Osama Bin Laden in Pakistan!
What i want to know is, will they stop after Pakistan? Can anyone assure me that after Pakistan, they will not attack another country just to eliminate extremism? And really, how credible is the US government? They have killed millions of people in Iraq and Afghanistan just to find OBL who is now hiding in Pakistan, according to them.
Even in Pakistan, OBL was supposedly hiding in FATA/Northern Areas of Pakistan and now he is in Quetta!
@Kasim Mehmood: I am lost as to where they are getting such major arm shipments ? What’s the channel and who are the suppliers ?
Simple. The Indians, Israelis and the CIA. They are intent on destroying our beloved country.
