I'm still a little skeptical about this offensive by the Pakistani Military , I think they waited to long for a reason , When this offensive is over if they do not kill or detain any of the Taliban big guys , then we Know what they were waiting for .
....ISLAMABAD, Pakistan (CNN) -- Heavily armed militants put up a fierce fight on Tuesday to protect a Taliban stronghold in South Waziristan, Pakistan's military said.
Taliban fighters attacked incoming troops in the village of Kotkai, using rocket launchers and heavy anti-aircraft machine guns, said a senior military official.
More than 20 militants and four soldiers died, he said. Three soldiers were wounded.
Kotkai is the hometown of Taliban leader Hakimullah Mehsud and Taliban commander Kari Hussain.
In Tuesday's clashes, militants engaged troops in head-on fighting instead of using their usual guerrilla tactics, the senior military official said.
A day earlier, military officials said they had seized control of the area.

I second your skepticism, #1 Infidel. It's not like we haven't seen this before - it's deja vu all over again. And likely will have the same result when it's all over. Zip. Zero. Nada. Zilch.
