Couple of points.
1.What exactly is the stand of the Army?
Barring some non descript spokesman,no senior Army officer, including Gen.Kayani does not seem to have uttered a word.
2.Where does ISI stand on this issue?
3.Why no statement from the highly visible PM or Zardari,Nawaz Sharief on this issue?
4.Where does Saudi Arabia stand on this issue.?
5.The civilian people,especially lawyers who made a hue and cry about the sacking of Chudhury are abnormally quiet.Why?
In my view answers to these questions shall decide who will run Pakistan.
Story.
‘The Pakistani army has said it has pushed deeper into South Waziristan as it battles to wrestle control of the region from the Taliban and al-Qaeda.’

At the moment, the situation is a stalemate as the army tries to use ground troops backed by heavy weapons and air power to push back the Taliban.
The militants have entrenched themselves in fortified positions in the areas where the military is marching in. But they are likely to resort to traditional guerrilla tactics once the army is firmly inside territory controlled by the Mehsud tribe.
This is the heartland of the resistance, and it is here that the fate of the campaign will be decided.
