Excellent thread - @faujihistorian - what do make of this?

There is an article about How possibly the best Egypt can aspire to is being a Pakistan --- I on the other hand would suggest that we would do much worse than aspiring to be like the Egyptians who sent the islamists packing -- but then we don't have a nationalist army

None of these eventualities would have been under discussion if the Pakistan Army was not the Mercenary, Jihad centered, Pan Islamist, Surrendering and anti-Pakistan. Of these the most serious problem with the Pakistan Army is that it is in fact anti-Pakistan. The hell you say. Yes, precisely...

So many contradictions in your exposition - You say it's naive and ignorant to suggest that the Pakistan army has a Mercenary Ethic - You then proceed to confirm that it in fact does, you argue " what else could we do?" You are also mistaken about Chinese policy, after all, Gwadar is a new...

That's a lot of emotion and very little sense - in fact Pakistan armed forces, especially the Pakistan army, have a mercenary Ethic, as exemplified by their action in Jordan, Arabia and the Gulf - I specifically stated that the US has an asset in the Pakistan army due to the ethic of the...

First thing to do is to put the Pakistani house in order - Foreign policy is a reflection of internal dynamics and compulsions. Yes, Pakistan can blame India for making mischief through Afghanistan, but India can argue, much as Pakistan arguers in Captive kashmir, that it is not twisting...

The Plump Patriotic Pakistani Awards Nadeem F. Paracha Welcome people to the ceremony of the first Plump Patriotic Pakistani Awards (PPPA, also called the Papas). Today, we hand out this new award to all those patriots who have continued to make sure that Pakistan remains to be hailed...

That the Pakistan Armed Forces can be forgiven for inculcating among Pakistanis? After all, which foreign adversary have they ever achieved victory over, they can't or rather are unwilling to even prevail over insurgents and sectarian terrorists, both of which were their own creations. But the...

I have a very clear idea of what kind of persons are here, be assured.

Incredible - that an insurgency should have such freedom and the intricacies of their administrative and personal feuds should be the subject of public consumption, instead of killing them, we are now fascinated by their functioning - Keeping up with the Taliban - soon to be a new reality TV show

Sir, you are choosing to highlight something other than what was asked of you - you offered support for Gen Pashas's apologia, please, again, make liars of us, prove that ISI learned and that culture and mindset and methodology was changed -- please do explain why this "change" is not reflected...

OK, we will suffer your petulance -- make us liars, prove to us what it has learned prove to us what it has changed as far as culture and mindset is concerned. Look here, I understand it's hard, even painful, for those who are indoctrinated to obey and not question their superiors and their...

After the leak, what next? Mosharraf Zaidi Thursday, July 11, 2013 [After the leak, what next?] The Abbottabad Commission report is now in the public domain. Its authors, the members of the commission, should be seen as national heroes. The level of detail, the intricate analysis, the...

Everybody screwed up, except Army and ISI Ex-ISI chief blasts all, including Musharraf, agencies, media Umar Cheema Thursday, July 11, 2013 ISLAMABAD: When former DG ISI Ahmed Shuja Pasha appeared before the Abbottabad Commission, he opened indiscriminate fire on all. The...

It won't go down well here either, unfortunately

It's Pakistan we are talking about, what Pakistani politician is going to sign into law, legislation which he or she may be primarily effected by?

Naya Pakistan lost - I'm just sayin... Some of us are too used to playing "Heads I win and Tails you lose" - Hamid Gul now an idiot? and at the same time the goings on in Pakistan not the fault of RAW?? Hain ji?

I think it's important that the story is played as "his VEHICLE was targeted" --and that he had not taken that route before - now if he was being followed? Missed by his entire security? riding arond on a motorcycle or car with a suicide bomber??

Once again , an inside job -- consider, having chosen the suicide bomber, the bomber would have to be prepared, not just weaponized, but emotionally fortified, positioned, the bomber would have to be brought to the site, not hours before the attack, that's too much time for things to go wrong --...

Well you know, as much as you may hate to admit it, It's not Indans but Pakistanis who think the world of Mr. Gen,. Hamid Gul, founder member of Defa e Pakistan movement - or is that also an IndianRAW, Mossad CIA creation?
