#1 I have read that the Pak's are responding to Chinese pressure to suppress Chinese Islamic terrorists (Turkic Uighurs from northwest China) that are based in Pakistan. The recent ground attacks and airstrikes were against these "bad Taliban". I find the semantics difficult because in my book the only non-bad Taliban is a dead Taliban. Oh well, every little bit helps.

I have also read that the Pak military has had enough of talking with the Taliban and has told the PM that the gloves are coming off whether he wants them to or not.
