"Strength???" Ha! Must say that I object to the title of this article. Yet again reporters by their choice of words inflate the enemy's image. Playing on the readers' fears, yes, I understand, but the result of such interpretive reporting may actually give the Taliban exactly what they desperately need: more confidence.

An attack like this shows Taliban weakness, in my opinion. Yet again they have attacked an Islamic target, proving once more that they are the worst kind of infidel. Maybe they are strong at commando suicide attacks, where all their members get wiped out, well, hooray Henry. But for what else are they good? Maybe they are strong.er in a very localized and limited sense when compared to the lax security around the army base.

Anyway, this attack bears the hallmarks of a Punjabi or Kashmiri group, not Waziristan Taliban.

I agree Nanda. It shows something, but not strength.

Being so willing to attack during prayer certainly puts them in a class of their own. I wonder what will stop the Pakistanis from just wiping them out. I do not see how negotiation is going to get them out of a vendetta with any military person present at that mosque.

And you are right about the Taliban not offering anything to the people in lands they control.

Thank you for standing up to be counted, 5SpeedRacer5. Sometimes takes a brave person to speak the truth in today's world, IMHO, before we all get swept down the plughole.

Yes, they have certainly brought some wrath upon themselves now...

True islam does not teach killings of innocent people weither muslims or non-muslims. I believe that humans should unite against this virus spreading.

Humanbeing. Thank you for posting. Humanity needs to speak up and, as you say, unite! I hope Pakistan can remain firm and pull together. These attacks are just the barking of dogs.

Hardly a bark,more like a rabid bite. Seriously though this is a sign those taliban fools are going to get some very furious people trying to annihilate them now.
