Where is the proof that they're NOT terrorists or terrorist sympathizers? They were brought to a police station in the middle of a full fledged anti-insurgency campaign where almost all the civilians have left. That would point towards the direction of them being complicit or involved.
Ofcourse...
The fact that they were detainees is not an assumption. Do take a closer look at the video. They're not on the road, knocking on doors and asking random people to come out so they can be beat up.
Yes a rounded smooth surface of tough leather protects the toes. Never heard of it being 'steel'...
Well, the fact that they're in a police station. Do notice the sandbags stacked at the entrance. Also, you don't have to be in a special type of dress to 'prove' that you're detainee. They were obviously being detained and were brought out for questioning at a time.
Thats a very interesting...
I'm not condoning it but these men are detainees in a police station. Its possible that some were just caught in the wrong place at the wrong time, but its not like the police and army just grab people off the streets and shove them into jail for no reason. Its possible the guys had credible...
These guys have always claimed more support and backing than is accurate. Well, he is an insurrectionist so you can hardly expect them to say 'yes we're kind of popular with some tribes but the normal people of Baluchistan just don't care about us and want to get on with their lives...' Ofcourse...
This is the same dangerous attitude that Clinton talked about: Indians thinking they can some how come out on top in a nuclear war. Its misplaced, in the advent of a nuclear war both India and Pakistan will be changed forever. I doubt whatever will be left of us can be called India or Pakistan...
You do understand what that means right? India needs to put Kashmir on the table if it wishes to resolve Pakistan-India antagonization thus achieving comprehensive peace and avoiding the prospect of nuclear war in the future.
Thats a good point. But the fact is, and I think most Indians here would agree, that if the GoI orders the IAF to strike targets in Pakistan then that would not be because of any reasonable expectations of success or accomplishment as far as eliminating or even harming the terrorists goes. The...
I think it would be an understatement to say that I'm no big fan of Nawaz Sharif but I don't think he has met OBL 5 times while in office. I don’t think it was appropriate for our boy Musharraf to say that because I’ll be willing to bet some money that tomorrow the Times of India is...
No. It was not his 'words' that offended. It was his first post and he was swearing and calling for terrorism in Pakistan, so we knew what kind of contributor he was. That is why I banned as you can see its my job to keep the forum clean. Would an Indian forum have tolerated a Pakistani calling...
As if you can tell them apart from the civilians any better than we can, and we can barely do it ourselves. Also, if Pakistan's sovereignty has been undermined by terrorists, does that mean India can do it too? No, we’ll treat you the same then. Furthermore with that logic India has lost...
Mr. Cloughley's article address such idiotism fairly well:
Harpooning harmony —Brian Cloughley
Daily Times - Leading News Resource of Pakistan
India and Pakistan are stumbling, and it would be wise for other nations to stand back and refrain from raising matters that could...
STOP daydreaming. It would be an intentional infringement of our sovereignty by the government of India as opposed to a crime committed by transnational terrorists within our borders. If the Pakistan Air Force is to shoot down your jets loaded with bombs coming to bomb our cities and villages...
Maybe because we lack a little something thats called conclusive evidence. Maybe because we have our hands full at the moment. Maybe because being seen as succumbing to harsh Indian pressure will backfire domestically and further upset the already fragile state of Pakistan’s politics...
I'd say that Musharraf was a good general. He was a good officer too despite a tendency to be over-confident. Much of the time his confidence was well deserved (I ofcourse am telling you this after having spoken to his batch mate or two;)) and many a times it got him in trouble. He performed...
