US-Pakistani Offensive Starting Soon

[Nizark]

Orbat.com reports:

**South Asia editor Mandeep Bajwa, using open sources,* says that Pakistan has massed 70,000 troops in the tribal areas for an assault against Al Qaeda elements.


**We estimate these include two army divisions from XI and XII Corps, several SF companies, and a range of paramilitary forces - possibly numbering 30-40,000 - including the Frontier Corps. So it would appear the spring offensive the US talks about will come sooner than the spring.

This webpage is usually pretty on top of things when it deals with Pakistani and Indian orders of battle...lets see how it pans out. Although if this is true, that the FC and Para's are being used along side general military, then it is some heavy ****. Generally, the Frontier Corps are used for border work, and the general Pak military isn't used, especially in the North West Frontier and the Federally Administered Tribal Areas. But with this much Pak military on their side and the US Afghan-based troops on the other, this could be one hell of a showdown

Due to NWFP and FATA's political sensitivties, the military action was very short lived. The Army did offer amensty in return for complete disbanding, but the terrorist elements don't want to give up. Let's see how things unfold. I think the Army should not NOT back off and push them towards the Afghan border, while the American forces don't squash them from the other side.

Bout fooking time. Musharaff should have handed us bin Laden's ass on a platter.
