Chairing an important operational meeting of the military top brass at the GHQ on Friday, April 24, General Kayani admitted that doubts were being voiced about the intent and capability of the army to defeat the militants. He reiterated that the Pakistan Army never has and never will hesitate to sacrifice whatever it may take, to ensure safety and well-being of the people of Pakistan and the country's territorial integrity and that victory against terror and militancy will be achieved at all costs. His words appear to be milk and honey to the people of Pakistan who had begun to despair at the Swat situation. The question arises, why had "doubts" crept in and why was the army being accused of "indifference" to the situation in Swat?
