Never befriend the Americans, for they bring only untold misfortune and misery .
its 5 attacks in a day , 3 in Lahore, 1 in Manawan and 1 Kohat.
6 if one includes the drone , that killed many including two children.
its a War, obviously it’s going to be painful and slow .
Just heard there was another in Peshawar , this one’s different , it used Remote Control device , which is not a typical TTP Suicide blast .
and its not looking Good, Pakistan is sinking in a quagmire , in which its now trapped Post Afganistan Jihad , where it was greedy for a Strategic Depth , which now has become A Chain, unshakable chain in its own neck.
