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.

In my understanding of Islam, its not allowded for 2 muslims to fight each other, the throat of each other.
-and ALLAH knows what is in the hearts.
From BBC:
“In a telephone call to the BBC, a senior Taliban commander has claimed his movement was behind the bombings.
Qari Hussain, the man reportedly responsible for training Pakistani Taliban suicide bombers, said his organisation now considered all of Pakistan to now be a war zone.”
The Army must have both operational and post operational strategy right!
They have now bombed the Islamic University in Islamabad.
Their targets is not making any sense.
This is NOT a campaign aginst the Mehsuds. Its against enemies of Pakistan, the terrorists.
But the battle also ahs to be against all those who are indirectly supporting the Taliban by making excuses for them. And that means also TV idiots like Hamid Mir and Zaid Hamid.
