And all this time later, Have we done it at all? I think there is a message in this --- It's not something the "authorities" want to do - Obviously -- So why not? Why or on the basis of which calculation, have they decided that not acting as you and others have suggested, will accrue more...

Pakistanis continue to delight in the relevance they think they have to the Indian, unfortunately for them, their adversary is not India but a "coalition", India, for a while, will merely be the vehicle of that coalition's will. Mr. Abul Qaqi (Analyst) offers ""that India’s navy, which...

So it's not that you disagree but rather that you think it's a poorly written piece?? BTW, if the Army was doing it's job and not telling people to call the police, that old man might have been better treated -- So you all pitched in and somebody else gets to run the Mosque? Who pays the Mullah?

The logic of Collective Action: Public Goods and the Theory of Groups You guys want names, you want heads to roll or resignations to follow -- I mean that would be the most reasonable thing, right? So Why no resignations? See if el Jefe will not man up, why should anybody else? And...

Actually it's their underwear - and unfortunately those underwear are filled with Pakistanis - a real mess we all agree.

Easy - no belligerence allowed. The Army has to be reconstructed, there's no escaping that, but that does not mean starting from scratch - the Army was turned from a professional army into a islamist army - this was done through ideological indoctrination and incentivising an Islamist outlook...

I guess the commission members do not want to be arrested or disappeared - but there is is plenty of blame to go along -- I think it is a long journey for some of us, but they will not be able to escape the conclusion that what ails Pakistan is the Pakistan Army -- I realize that this is painful...

90 days for a corruption free govt? It seems that PTI seems unable to simply settle down to the business of governance and is instead caught up in politics. PTI needs to show results in governance.

Keeping preconceived notions in mind, the report points out that the military and her agencies (guess which one) have done such a super job that it has become the single highest priority to being them under civilians control -- it speaks of "governance implosion" and which institution does it...

Neither Scotch nor vodka free for that matter, The report is very clear whose failure it was "DERELICTION OF DUTY" --- now who do you suopose they may be pointing to? But then again, Iman Taqwa and Jihad, this is their motto, nothing about "Duty"

And uey no such thing will happen - if you think about it, Mr. Gen. Kiyani as DG ISI and COAS have been disastrous for Pakistan, however, Pakistan's larger problem is not so much Mr. Gen kiyani but the so called Pakistan Army.

Mr. Magolis appears confused, he says that the game was stacked against Morsi, that he should have "purged" the deep state - yet he fails to mention that what really did Mr.Morsi in was what he did to the constitution and making himself above the law - On the other hand, Mr. Margolis suggests...

The Usual suspects are busy trying to defend the army, the civilians did not deliver you see -- but why would the civilians deliver when the Army refuses to deliver dead Taliban, Dead Sectarian terrorists, and When the Army refuses to drop it's Islamist and Jihad Ethic? After all, look at...

It's not that the majority of Pakistanis are Islamists, the majority are Muslims who endeavor to be pious, but what should be clear is that the Pakistan Army is an Islamist Army, with a Jihad ethic -- If you examine the report you cannot but conclude, indeed the the report concludes that these...

Now that the Abbotabad commission report has been made public, readers, critical readers, are invited to remember that it was first on this forum that "Dereliction of Duty" was introduced to critical readers, and we also suggested "Right man for the Job" and that would mean we first attempt to...

Perhaps you would care to explain why this did not happen sooner, after all, the AKP did not develop differences with the Israeli this year, they have had serious differences for years -- one expects so much more intellectual rigor from Mods. The best way to look at this, it seems to me, is...

Well, boys and gurlz -- Abbotabad Commission report is out -- What does it say about how good the ISI is at it's job? What does it say about how "esmart" the army has been? You go ahead, make your excuses, blame of those damn awful (add oxymoron of choice), blame RAW, Mossad and CIA and who...

Perhaps the Deputy Premier is not aware that "doing an evaluation" is not what 24hr news is about - 24hr news is about reporting events that create excitement, allowing providers to charge more for advertising ---- Now that may be a conspiracy and a "Jewish" one at that, one that reasonable...

Cuz stupids bug the pss out of me

If they were doing a good job, then they would not get the heat - it's because they are so terrible at their job that they get heat - Look, what do we have to suggest that they "seem to be a very capable organization"? Capable at what? attracting undue attention?? French and UK and German...
