See here's the thing. It's difficult for me to talk about the prevailing situation in Pakistan because I'm at various times referring to two totally separate entities.
On the one hand, there's the actual people of Pakistan, the true Pakistanis, long suffering basically since the partition and...
okayyyy, some fatuous answers for fatuous questions
We don't assume anything. Pakistan doesn't have sovereignty, that's why they're having to invade.
I find it tragic that the PA, ISI and GoP can't even prevent near daily attacks on the shopping malls of Peshwar.
Gosh this is a blast from the...
You understand nothing. Nothing would make me happier than to see Pakistan and Afghanistan peacful and prosperous.
At the moment however, Pakistan protects large numbers of Taliban by it's claims to sovereignty over areas such as Waziristan, the NWFP and Bolichistan when no such sovereignty...
Sure, if that's the thread you want to go down. The reasons for it are precisely the reasons for the Pakistan invasion of the Swat valley and areas of South Waziristan these past few months. Namely the control and elimination of the Taliban, AQ and their supporters. The differences occur where...
LOL, puerile? the poster claimed that
Apparently an assertion you agree with:lol:
Do you imagine for one moment that ABCA would stand by and let their armies supply routes be blockaded by Pakistan? How long do you seriously believe Pakistan would continue to exist?
LOL, in their dreams. She stared every single one of them down and put in a masterful performance. A mere woman too. I often wonder what would have happened if she'd become President...
In reality the removal of eight bases, most nowhere near the PA area of operations will have nil impact but yes, the misinformation and lack of counter information has created a storm. Could have been much better handled.
All well with you I trust?
I'm sure their delight was palpable. Your views on withdrawal and re-engagement after a suitable stimulus carry more and more weight with me with every passing day.
As regards my own opinion on what should be done depending on the outcome of the current operation I'll be interested to see...
US forces leave isolated Afghan base after attack
Interesting to see the paranoia exhibited here though that it's all a plot by America against Pakistan, even though the withdrawal happened long before the PAF announced a timeline (of sorts) for the Waziristan invasion......
Iran blames Pakistan because they see Pakistan as a US proxy.
Hillary Clinton put it rather well when she said 'Every nation has to either be with us, or against us'.
In other words attempting to polarise the world.
Many nations of course have chosen to 'sit out' this conflict because they...
