My Comment: If this story is true, this tells me that the Pakistani military offensive is becoming effective in eliminating Al Qaeda's (and the Taliban's) military infrastructure, and these men are now worried on what would be the long term consequences if this continues.

Will Baitulla Meshud listen to these Taliban/Al Qaeda leaders .... your guess is as good as mine.
