It looks faked. The sourced posted is a blog, but I still did a search and couldn't find the original article. Besides that it has too many "sources".
This topic shouldn't even merit a discussion unless someone can find a trusted source.
Whoever killed him, I'm thankful to them.
He was a brutal dictator, that probably would have lived for life. Most of Pakistan's current problems can be dated back to when he was President.
How many times has the govt tried to kick out Afghans? Politicians are politicians, hes just trying to make it look like something is being done.
I'm willing to bet that Islamabad is still going to have problems after that 72 hour "ultimatum "
You just have to love Bhutto's picture on that table in the first pic. Its like shes always watching. Gotta love Zardari for promoting Bhutto over Jinnah. ...
Its been a military base since the 1960s (according to Wiki). Its probably being used to monitor China's naval movement. Other than that, the US already has a naval base right in the middle of the middle east, Bahrain. US 5th Fleet.
I don't think showing headless bodies and other gory scenes, and watching cameramen fight like dogs to get an angle over bomb blasts justifies what your saying.
You would have figured the guards had been trained better to protect at a high value target such as this. The attackers managed to get the gates open because the guards fled.
And again, how does the Pakistani media get their hands on such sensitive footage?
Just bs from the government. They say it but fail to meet the goals, and decide to lie about them. I found no specifics on how they mean to accomplish such a difficult task in a short amount of time.
From an economic standpoint its cheaper not to have to build, maintain and protect refugee camps. But ethically its a disgrace to Pakistanis. Its going to continue to promote the idea that Punjab decides everything for Pakistan and thus cause inter-provincial tensions.
When you divide people...
$500 million seems too large of an amount, but I would bet it is somewhere $1- $10 million. Kinda makes you wonder why stuff like this isn't posted on the front our Pakistani newspapers. Seems like the media doesn't play a watchdog role.
Australia's terrain is similar to Pakistan; desert. They fought off the Japanese well in World War II.
Yes, their style is similar to the US and UK but its best to learn from everyone and combine those learned warfare methods to Pakistan's benefit.
Ofcourse the army isn't going to use the newer, better tanks against the Taliban...why get them dirty? Tanks aren't designed for urban fighting and most the of tanks in the PK Army are designed for conventional warfare.
