Some reality... Pakistan can go after the TTP et al BUT can NOT go after the current in residence Afghan Taliban. While it may be unpopular to go after the TTP who are Pakistani, it is perceived, in away, acceptable as they are against the nation and its people. OK simple view but I am...

The body count game.. Total waste of concepts, always fails. It is not the number you kill its what you do and how you go about it. As it is it is now too late for a real rethink again.

No economics played a small part. India has only started to be the economic engine you hope for and this does no go back to the earlier US negativity toward Pakistan.

Ho Hum!! Wheeled and track have their places in the battle space. Don't ignore track for the sake of wheels.

Oh wow, oh shock, oh how obvious. Well this is not new and I wonder why.. I have raised this point before, India has in the US several lobby groups that actually work vs the fluffy ones Pakistan employes. There are several Indian centric think tanks in the US feeding their view of things...

You like many here look but don't see, read but don't read, hear but don't hear. There is much in that article if you apply a serious case of read and actually read what you are looking at. It covers some of the fundamental issues in this article "U.S. efforts fail to convince Pakistan's...

"Spluttering"! talk of understatement, few here want to accept some of the underlying facts of the problem. These groups have a nice arrangement because the GOP has over the many years done little in Balochistan, hence the local insergency group, then the Taliban living happily undesturbed and...

It may have been relevant at the time it was originally posted on Global Security. BUT when dealing with any information or analysis posted there, always check the date it was updated. Normally its is not updated. If they have a forum on the topic it may/might have more modern comment. If...

in your Control Panel on the left hand side is a heading titled "Settings & Options". Under that there is an option "Edit Options". In this section under the second main option group is titled "Messaging & Notification". There are several sub boxes, 'Receive Email', then 'Default Thread...

All good stuff but you forgot this little bit: Page last modified: 22-03-2009 23:33:13 Zulu Out of date... Global Security does not update their material regularly..

WOW!! A great thread of Sweet F All. Outdated blogs really make useful nothing. If you as a new poster want to make a real name for yourself post the blog AND point out the errors and bring it up todate if you are really serious. Last point: It is threads like this that drag this forum...

May be correct but realise the Indian govt and its vocal ministers don't help much. Perhaps if they stopped playing to the local audience and did a real job things may be more stable.

Fictitious as you may suggest BUT if you have bothered to read enough media junk and so called Op-Eds you will notice a large amount of material aimed directly at US looking at capturing some how the pakistan nuclear arsenal. Also not some of these articles always quote the usual unnamed...

Do you mean Stryker?? Neither are designed for IED defense as they are both light weights. As for as RPG rounds go they still need bar armour.

Bluntly Give me a break! Rise and fall of nations! Both articles are a bit deeper than this. May your words be better guided and more instructive.

Just be pleased I have recovered from dealing the sudden death of one of my horses. Otherwise my posts might be a bit stronger in negativity.

don't start me on that second article..:D

Let's just say; start with bad assumptions and you end up with stinky stuff on your face. Things can be changed but it requires someone to say they got it wrong from the start. This is something I doubt will ever happen. My suspicion is that Pakistan needs to look at a real security to its...

Unfortunately this is what I would call a shallow article. Shallow in that it simplifies many of the arguments made. Starting with this: "the problem of the dysfunctional western-backed democracy in Afghanistan is much deeper as it is neither a democracy nor a well functioning government."...
