Trade Deficit itself is not a problem. Yet it becomes one when your macro-economics unbalance starts occurring and reserves start depleting.

But then, please, don't blame the ISI for trying to realize some X-Y-Z plan for some sort of a...
If you do not care WHOM your neighbours elect ... you should also not care HOW they are elected (i.e democracy). If they're the Prime Minister, President, Queen or King of their country ... that post/title is enough to address them.
Neighbours concern should only be WHO's in post/authority...
No concern for those ... who don't have concern for themselves!
The Afghans themselves have allowed their land to be used by intelligence agencies of the world for espionage purposes. If they wish to bleed themselves to death ... that's their prerogative.

This is false perception. Nawaz Sharif and Benazir Bhutto well-received worldwide aid and assistance from USA, IMF, OPEC, European countries, ODA & OOF bilateral agreements and World Bank.
United States has provided Pakistan with $ 10 billion in assistance since Sept 11, 2001 are misleading...
$700bn five times Pakistans GDP
SHOCKWAVES from the global credit crisis spread this week, threatening industry and jobs worldwide and putting pressure on the US Congress to pass a $700 billion bailout of the financial sector.

Wrong! Pakistani forces are well aware that if they do not eliminate the recruited, groomed & paid militant agents of international secret agencies .... they themselves will be slaughtered (as a token of thanks).
This is manifested in the fact during 2007 - 232 army men, 163 paramilitary...
When every single recruited agent of international vested interests are thrown OUT of pakistan and the border fenced & mined.
When the plans to balkanize Pakistan die down!
Pakistan First!
So you want to redraw the borders according to religion? That's exactly what USA wants as 'redefined borders of middle east' and what Israel calls 'Greater Israel'.

1- Has he given any feasibilty report on how he intends to spend those $100 billion?
2- Has he seeked approval of Parliament for this $100 billion? As loan cannot exceed beyond 50% of our GDP.

Bogus money or just debts? First decide.

When this idiot Zardari didn't know how to fish in the first place .... what's he doing tryin to fish around begging? His fishin of words will be debacle to our $160 billion economy!
This is one of the most misconceived arguments - that Pakistans Economic woes are a result of some Global problem.
The recent problems are 100% due to PPPs insincerity, recent economic mismanagement, corrupt legacy and lack of credibility amongst investors. Seven months and they have yet...
This cheapster that has been elected by the votes of our 10 million public ..... If it weren't for the cameras, he might have been his usual play boy !
Now where are those, usual hue & cry critics, that accused Shaukat Aziz of charming Condi Rice ?????
Right man!

Our Prime Minister has said several times that "WoT is our fight".
Long Live Our...
