The Pakistan Army’s operations in South Waziristan have invited much debate recently. Prime Minister, Yousaf Raza Gilani declared on 12 December that operations in South Waziristan had been successfully culminated and would be extended to Orakzai agency. This comment came up for immediate criticism from the influential national newspaper, the Daily Times which in an editorial on 14 December stated, “Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani may be forgiven for what appeared to be a Freudian slip or wishful thinking when he said that the military offensive in South Waziristan was almost over”.
