Zardari: Anti-Taliban assault to continue

WASHINGTON, May 8 (UPI) -- Pakistani PresidentAsif Ali Zardari says his country's military offensive against Taliban militants will "go on till the situation returns to normal."

Speaking Thursday in Washington at a new conference with Afghan President Hamid Karzai and U.S. Sens. John Kerry, D-Mass., and Richard Lugar, R-Ind., Zardari said a significant military assault in the Swat Valley would keep going until the militants are defeated, Pakistan's English-language newspaper Dawn reported.

The assault was announced Thursday by Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani.

"The operation will go on till the situation returns to normal," Zardari said. He said a new realization had dawned in Islamabad that the entire world views the Taliban insurgency in the country's northwest and in neighboring Afghanistan as a major threat.

Is he back pedaling already?

He just went from:

"military assault in the Swat Valley would keep going until the militants are defeated"

to:

"The operation will go on till the situation returns to normal"

In the same interview...

Translation: Untill the Taliban want to talk peace.

The new peace agreement, when the Taliban offer it ( when they are loosing G )

will be the 9th one they will have broken.

Paradigm Intel projects the Taliban will ask

for a truce and peace talks, the peace agreement

terms will allow them to to regroup and start

offences again, And will be the 9th agreement

will they have broken.
