Strange that nowhere did this "transformed" Taliban mention anything about any independence struggle in Afghanistan. But then again this could all be propaganda like all other news reports claiming to be the truth about Taliban. However, kindly to note that this one is not having a bedsheet on...
You must make up your mind. One of the two things happened. Namely first. Bin laden was a state guest to be found at abbuttabad enjoying state privileges. Or two. Pakistani army had no idea and pakistani sovirginity was interrupted when the black hawks came calling. There may be a muddled point...
It seems to be easy to blame the alien virus when considering the extreme and moneetarily and politically moticated host to be the petri dish of jihadist islam in the world. Any questions for pakistani army generals? I know that zia is dead but nishane-e-haider gul is still alive.
Are you for serious. So ttp is a foriegn sponsored entity and what is afghan taliban then? Is not pakistan taking credit for bringing them to the table with official diplomats talking about giving them some provinces to rule and the strategic depth and what not. You seem to get so very selective...
My view is that right from religious conversion to religious fanaticism, everything is a matter of convenience whether it be done under strife or willingly for a benefit out of greed. So I am not surprised at any religious comments emanating from Pakistan.
Sadly the Pakistani approach has always been one of intended destruction of others which ultimately harms Pakistan itself. There are moments galore from history when Pakistan got in to decisions that it thought will actually harm others but in the finality of it, these decisions burned only...
What is the probability of Iran & Hezbollah getting directly / indirectly involved on behalf of the Shias? Afterall as I read, that Saudis are involved. How difficult could it be for the others to get involved too if this genocidal culling of shias continue.
So then can we assume that you suggest that Pakistan should plan ahead for another scenario where the next COAS will dismiss the civilian government and hence come up with the choice of decision that you think Musharraf failed at?
Well Arabs were surely the root cause of a lot of problems in our part of the world, but that is more fundamental. No use visiting that here. However, in the current parlance, Saudis did not come and set up the Madrassas in Pakistan. Neither did they come to Pakistan and propagate the extremism...
LoL, spite you, did I?
Look, contrary to what may sound to you, the Independence movement of India has several poles and ideologies. Netaji Bose was for one of such ideologies who believed that the WWII would actually be a good opportunity to militarily dislodge the British from India with the...
Given that they detonated with remote and with such precision of impact, I would say that YES, there must have been prior information and may be dry runs too on earlier days. Given just the precision and the method, this could be more a mixed OP with LeJ and not just TTP alone who believe more...
The declining Rupee is only an indication of the lessening appetite for imports. Nothing wrong there. Less imports would not mean less consumption. Just means that imports will be replaced by increase in manufacturing within the economy. That is why RBI lets it slide. Except for Oil, nothing...
You are taking this pretty well. That is brave and very practical. That is why I suggest that you could even plan for organ donations in time. When I know that I am going (if I know well in time), I intend to plan for organ donations. Something lives on then.
I wonder when all of Pakistan is shouting that drones are counterproductive because they kill indiscriminately and create more enemies per person killed in a drone strike (that when given clearly that drones are being used extremely judiciously - as per USG), then how come that they could be...
So what dongle was Mohammed sucking on when he actually bode for India to be divided and got millions including muslims killed. Given this now, which goggles have you been wearing looking at history? :)
