Based on the first hand accounts of truckers actually moving the goods; there is no way the US / NATO troops in Afghanistan can be supplied without investing protection money.
The beneficiaries of this multi-million dollar spinoff includes the Taleban, NA commanders (in particular Hazrat...
In order to use route other than Pakistan NATO will have to throw Georgia to the wolves, and stop its expansion drive in Ukraine, and give up the so called anti missile THAAD shield in Poland and Hungary!.
This talk of "alternate route" is just a notional thing, capitalizing on the...
The Indian female spy (if any) should be treated with utmost dignity and respect. A small time spy trying to infiltrate through FATA, and actually getting caught; cannot be awfully effective anyways.
Far more effective Indian spies are lodged in the the bastions of power including governor...
Putting a ban on Jamaat Al Daawa is a sad chapter in the continuous story of our national decline.
Narendra Modi is the twice elected chief minister of Gujarat, his claim to fame … presiding over the killing of an estimated 4000-6000 Muslims in a 72 hours period.

the drones require line-of-sight VHF datalink control only during the takeoff / landing phases. During operations the satellite datalink can be downlinked anywhere; USA, Qatar, Europe. It is a rather clumsy arrangement; with little provision for verification of pre-selected targets. Such...
Pakistan\s "bleeding" is due to its support for US/NATO forces. The day Pakistani political and military leadership focus on the interests of Pakistan alone, we will achieve stability.
Vinod2070: you did score on this one!
It would be rather cute to shoot them down and pretend you dont know they took of from bases in Pakistan!. The truth comes out when ..... hits the fan!
MQ-9 drones are a tough target, but perhaps not that difficult to intercept. With a payload of 2 Hellfires and turret, and staying within Takeoff weight limitation of 10,000 lbs its endurance is a lot less than 14 hours as advertised. Also it cannot set the initial operational altitude above FL...
Bombay atrocity was ugly and ferocious. Irrational killing spree against civilians in the heart of a vibrant metropolis. Downright irrational. Should be condemned in the strongest words.
The perpetrators were a bunch of educated young men, who had the discipline and the commitment to achieve...

Dear fatman17:
Sponsorship of Jehadi groups began as foreign / strategic policy compulsions; (i) Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, when Pakistan found itself between the double Soviet-Indian pincers. (ii) the Festering wound of Kashmir, where Indian Army perpetuated rapacious attrocities...
CIA/India and Israel are both overtly and covertly involved in the conflicts in FATA and Balochistan, which is also known as the phoney war of Terror.
They have successfully pitted Pakistan Army against Pakistani citizens, depleting its operational capability and leaving our Eastern border...
Halt FATA operations, that is enough to give Americans a run for their money. They will erase these notions of pressure tactics like a bad dream, and tell their Indian surrogates to take it easy.
Ponit (1) SJ package comprising of high value Plots of Land to be contributed by the Pakistan Government to give financial stability to the berieved family.\
Ponts (2) and (3) to be contributed by the US Government, because after all these troops are used for indirect support to the US/NATO war...
Guys Nawagai is a part of Pakistan, has always been and will always be. The special status of the Tribal areas was insituted by Quaid e Azam Mohammed Ali Jinnah. Our military and political leaders have tried to "correct" the "mistake" done by the great Quaid.
It is absolutely disgraceful to...
Vow!!!!!!! There have been few victories like this in the annals of history. The only events that come close is the entry of victoriuous Russian / American armies entering Berlin during WW II!. I guess Nawagai is in the outskirts of Srinagar?
we have proved totally incapable of learning any lessons from the events of the past 5 years. Fazlullah is alive, Fazlullah is dead, just does not matter in the context of the hell we are going through as a nation. Let us for a moment suppose he is dead ... then what? ... is Swat safe enough to...
China, Saudi Arabia and Turkey are our real allies. China is by far better.
Our relationship with a stingy USA cannot be given a respectable name. The US has used us to fight its dirty war on the cheap, splitting our national fabric, and resulting in deaths of thousands of Pakistanis.
