Well, going beyond that, he has no political power base whatsoever through his new party. I think he's hurting whatever positive legacy he has by going back and trying to make a breakthrough, whether that's looking to become a PM or President. He can't even think of those positions yet, as he...

So let me get this right, they've stolen the name of Musharraf's new party? :blink: So they're effectively sidelining Musharraf before he can announce his manifesto, and stealing his party name? Wow, how b1tchy! He's not on board as far as I can see.

No she's not, she speaks better English ;)

I was looking to bring this up as there seems to be a nervousness in the media in particular over the verdict. That's understandable. One question to Indian members. How badly do you think this will affect things within Kashmir if the verdict is in favour of the Ram temple? The religious...

I totally and strongly disagree. Whether it's food, humour, culture, music, language etc etc, there are immense similarities, and more importantly there is an acknowledgement of that from me and other Pakistani's. I've been India, my sister has, a lot of my good friends have and share the...

With such incredible military hardware, there is no justification to spend $60billion on MORE arms from the US. Even if Iran is the reason (which is bizarre in itself), they have such an overwhelming qualitative and quantitative advantage over Tehran, it's money down the drain. With...

25 or so rules, and not one related to widening the tax base, or ensuring the strict implementation of income tax collection? I'd perhaps go for that as a first rule of implementation with total force and vigour. That serves to finance other measures you propose. I believe we're missing out...

Bit of a tongue twister from you, I'm not sure I quite follow, but interesting multiple use of 'reality' and 'rational'. Well then continue to live in cloud cuckoo land, and let me know how much progress you make on this issue. Won't be much that's for sure.

Yes, just read my previous post. Might help you take a more rational stance when addressing the issue of Kashmir, and India in general. Well I hope so anyway.

Appreciate the positive words bro, don't worry, there are many like me, just hope more made a splash on this forum. Too many patriotic (or idiotic, whichever way you look at it!) people get clouded in their sentiments. If you approach an angle as take take take, refusing to look at the...

It's all bluster, SS will never carry out such a suicidal act. He'll need PA cover, and that won't be forthcoming as it'll draw us into 'facilitation of cross-border terrorism' or a similar charge from India. Of course, he's not Rambo that he can go on an individual heroic mission no...

Yes, but Al-Qaeda in the Land of the Islamic Maghreb is a distinctly seperate entity, concentrated in that part of the world. Up until now, we haven't been able to establish their presence within our borders, so if this individual proves to be associated with them, then it's a significant...

It'd easy to jump to conclusions, but Moroccans are big on hashish so there could be a strong drug trafficking link here. Although Arabs have been caught in these areas before, Moroccans haven't as far as I'm aware. People from the Maghreb (Tunisia, Morrocco, Algeria etc), are rarely...

Seriously, why do these jacka55es in the US have to raise such pathetic doomsday scenarios? I hate the likes of Peter Bergen and Selig Harrison for the junk they spew. It's all to create mass hysteria and keep both nations on edge and continue the suspicions of one another. Serves their...

Woah woah woah, hold on a minute here. Someone has spewed an astronomical figure (and it is huge, even for Ghaddari's standards), and no-one has: 1) Seen any evidence or 2) Asked for any evidence Now I'm the last man on earth to defend Ghaddari, but surely we can't take this at face...

Tell us something we don't know :coffee:

And Zardari was elected on the back of having murdered his wife according to many.

Exactly. Nothing wrong in what he has said. It's our responsibility to rise from the ashes. It's a test for the government to show crisis management and resolution. At the moment they look unable to do anything but swindle and loot.

I think that's pushing it, I just don't see what impact he can have. He doesn't have the domestic support base, the political set-up or network as it stands. It really does look like a pointless and expensive exercise. If he can get the MQM to give him full backing, the Chaudary's to...

This hollywood script is really getting tiresome. I wonder when these rumours and gossip (in the absence of evidence, that's what they are), will stop. Would make a huge difference if we focused our energies on improving our own lives, rather than constantly blaming the ills on others.
