NATO is using North-to-South, and North-to-South/East/West deployment. This was the same techniques used by Russians with mixed results. However if you study the first Anglo-Afghan war of 1838, Gen. William Elphinstone used Quetta, Kandhar, Kabul route. Therefore Pakistani army can use a...

Hmmm! I am not sure if you could easily take over SAM system controllers. These are mostly special purpose boards with very little "Hackable" software. Hacking itself is a tedious process that may take days if not months to break into a system. If those systems are not connected to the internet...

Pak army is blessed with many living veterans who fought in World War II. We must honor them and preserve their memories for coming generation. This is totally apolitical effort to save our history. We must build a memorial and save the names who died fighting Axis of Evil (Nazis, Japanese, and...

I like your approach AN. Just a minor addition to your post (attached). China and India both are being asked to buy US made (actually owned by multinationals including Toshiba of Japan) Nuclear plants. Each of these units costs $2 billion (for a couple of 1000 MW capacity). Pakistan being...

Pakistani army has been trying to keep the lid on Wazirastan by deploying 90,000 or so troops and losing many on regular basis. This is a "containment" policy and it is good in the short run. In the long run you must take the offensive to the heartland of your opponent. In this case the...

Nations make decisions in their own interest. Indians never wanted a pipeline at the expense of their relationship with the US. It was a ruse to succer Iran into a never ending "negotiations". Morever it is not just India's role. For a mega project like a 100s' of miles of pipeline, you...

Well said. Test flights so far have been less than perfect. Still it is a good effort. I hope it works out.

Good point. Unfortunately Talibanic sympathizers have turned Anti-Pakistan. These pathetic groups have killed more Pak soldiers than anyone else in the region. Thus for the moment, goups attacking Canadians are the same who kill Pakistani soldiers. The second point: Karazai is going to be...

Pakistani public is just fine with Israel. Our Mullahs (both Sunni and Shia) will make some statements and that's all. We have decent relationship with Palestinians. It is time we establish similar relationship with Israel. This will help everyone in many ways: 1. Pakistan can play positive...

Hey guys, Let's not jump on "bash-Israel" because "Israel-is-anti-Pakistan" bandwagon. Do google on this news title and you will find at least the first page filled with postings on two groups of sites: 1. Indian sites 2. "anti-war", liberal and socialists sites. Israel does not have...

I think it is time we Pakistanis took care of our own neighborhood. Our proxy groups are not loyal to us anymore. They have found higher calling form the likes of Osama and zawahiri. So out with the jihadis and in with our regular soldiers. In Afghanistan, Karazai can't take care of his...

No! It was the dreamer socialist Bhutto who wanted to unite Muslim nations. Zia was much more pragmatic than him. Zia was replaced by rabid Islamist like Aslam Beg as COAS. Also Zia's ISI director Akhtar Abul Rehman was replaced by another Islamist Hamid Gul. Zia's son, and Gen...

Dear Mr. Khan, Please look at your post. You can't have it both ways. In one sentence you claim Mujib's majority, and the second sentence you say he was for autonomy and the third sentence you say he was for independence. These are the contradictions within your post. Please read them...

Nobody could touch Zia except his close soldiers. How do you think Musharraf got attacked twice in the span of weeks? God forbid, assasins were successful in Musharraf's case, who would you blame? Mossad, Raw, or CIA? Towards the end of 1988, Zia was moving away from hardened Islamic...

Dear BDM, There is no denying that Sh. Mujeeb was not the most favorite of Pakistani leadership and the "misled" masses. He was imprisoned, threatened, cajoled, or begged from, to change his false propaganda against Pakistani masses. He didn't listen and that was fine with Pakistani masses...

Not sure. Mullah was never a professor. Alim was supposed to be one. However Mullah has always been this doofus character who was only good for reading few Ayats during Khushi-Ghami (happy or sad) times. FYI. Mullah Nasiruddin is not a modern day invention. Not sure about Dr. Israr and his...

1-4 EBR were posted in East Pakistan while 5-7 were in West Pakistan. I am not sure if your data is correct. Sorry to hear about your grandfather. They were truly the greatest generation of their times. Was he with EBR or some other regiment? Did he continue with EBR or switched to some other...

Look! I smell prejudice, discrimination, or at least bias in these statements. Let me clarify few things here. 1. (For A and C above), One doesn’t have to be a “GIANT” to be a good soldier. Japanese in WWII were tiny compared to Gen. McArthur’s GIs. Still none can...

Maj. Aziz Bhatti was part of the Punjab Regiment. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aziz_Bhatti You guys keep on talking about East Bengal Regiment. However there is no record in any of the sources (except BD military site or this article on rediff) of east Bengal regiment that may have been...
