Taleban jail raid frees hundreds Inmates at Kandahar jail held a week-long hunger strike in May Hundreds of Taleban and other prisoners have escaped from a jail in Kandahar, south Afghanistan, after the group blew up the main gate. A top official in the city told the BBC about 340...

uhmm.. no not really. i don't think news about Gwadar and the relief it provides to the navy in case of blockade, could be disastrous for the navy. PN is currently seeking more ships, frigates, corvettes, etc. some of these acquisitions will just be interim solutions to fill in the gap. there...

true, but the expansion of the navy hints at the fact that our higer-ups have realized the potential of being at the mouth of the Gulf. here's an article quoting the indian naval chief, i'm sure india's real worries are from China, but he still mentions pakistan. Pak's new port has...

amazing how the world turns, simply amazing. the taliban with their rag tag sandals can attack the US without fear, Iranian leaders can say the stupidest things and can bleed Israel without any hesitation or opposition, uzbekistan can kick the US out of its bases whenever it feels like, while...

your analysis is correct on this matter, PN hardly had any funding at all, or spotlight for that matter. there is no comparison between the IN and PN, as of right now. as for the carrier, I just wanted to mention that the aircraft carrier is most likely for power projection beyond the scope of...

"The US has already struck before and an apology was demanded, children were killed, nothing happened. The US claimed it did the right thing. honestly, if agnostic is right in saying the they want to stay in pakistan for at least two decades, then Pakistan will burn to the ground." what I...

sorry guys, but I have to go with the indians on this one. the democratically elected govt. in all of their wisdom (nil, just stupidity) decided to go ahead with this. they want to suck up to india so badly and sell the country as a virgin slave to india, it's not india's problem. if anyone...

I'm really sorry, but we're all alone on this. Russia does not want any "jihad" creeping into its backyard, neither does China. central asia is being fought over, this is the Great Game. that's why you saw Musharraf try to suck up to Russia, get them a postition in the OIC. Look at where that...

sigh... sorry guys, but your discussion on how pakistan should react is totally fruitless. I knew sooner or later this was going to happen, I was hoping it would happen later around 2010-2011. The US has already struck before and an apology was demanded, children were killed, nothing...

the judiciary makes laws, when it should be enforcing them. our institutions are staffed with corrupt and bribed politicians or people who are favoured by them. you can't even build institutions in a parliamentary democracy when everyone is corrupt. the 1973 constitution does not allow checks...

Looking to the future Looking to the future By Ahmed Quraishi 6/3/2008 The dangerous internal tension in Pakistan prior to the Feb 18 general election inspired commentaries in the west about the imminent collapse of the Pakistani state. Like Iraq, some US strategists even demanded that...

what's up guys, haven't been here for a while, but somethings been bugging me for a while now. what do you guys think about Pakistan adopting a presidential system of democracy? most people feel that would be the best way, since it provides checks and balances that we desperately need. our...

shebazi, our pilots live and breathe in the air, literally. even our airline pilots are internationally respected. PAF pilots have been trained to go against multiple aircraft at a time, they had to be, otherwise PAF wouldn't have its pride today. muradk has mentioned our F-6's going against...

the US did not develop stealth aircraft to go against the "mighty" su-30MKI, oh yea and you should say su-35, i don't think india poses much of a threat to the US. They developed stealth aircraft to make it pass harsh SAM territory. did you fill in your parental permission form for minors...

well guys, look at the bright side, at least these girls weren't raped or impregnated? fortunately for them, the police reached them. although I am getting sick of this stuff, i hope pakistan can bring about harsh taliban-style "whipping to death" if this situation ever arises in our country.

yesss! Tokyo is the best city in the world! if i were to destroy and rebuild karachi, i would do it in the image of tokyo!

do you guys want to know the who the worst enemies of pakistan really are? it's not the indians, but the sorry *s* defeatists that control our media and complain and whine about the army all the time. bhutto whined and complained that she did not have access to the nuclear facilities or could...

roadrunner, of course i know that people came way after. i simply stated this because an indian on this forum stated the same idea of pakistan "belonging" to india because it lies within the Indian Plate. however, i'm sure you understand my point that some ethnicities in residing in what is...
