#5 Unless HVTs are involved, I seriously doubt Ft Bragg resources were used. Sounds to me more like a "sons of Swat" movement. Even the Pakistani army has figured out about the hold phase of clear-hold-build, and whatever their motives wrt to Quetta or N wazir are, they clearly want to win in Swat.
