:rofl::rofl: :blah: I think some of you should go drive a real vehicle like a DAF/Kenworth look out the window at some of them women drivers and see how long before you almost have an accident!!! The skirts look real short especially in the summer..:agree: A vehicle like the Toyota...

The objective of war is to achieve political objectives, not to kill enemies. Bluntly killing is easy. So if wars were just about that they would be over in days. If one is to take such a comment as above underlined at face values it would seem to me that it is more important then to get...

:rofl: And this is some new discovery!! Its been an issue since day 1. But it is so easy to hide ones head in the sand and pretend it is not there. It does not help when NATO et al use northern alliance warlords as their 'protection service'. Another piece on the same lines: From...

Not going to!! I was thinking more re an old article posted somewhere around here re the various business ventures of the PA. Now if that business generates revenue that goes back into the PA as in your mentioned example I don't see a problem.

how much of this can be back tracked to what may be called Army Inc, the shadow business side of the PA ? Does this not generate revenue for the PA?

Neither are actual representations of back channel communication. The back channel concept relates to discussions that are not taking place in a formal public manner. Usually done quietly and with out any public notification till the points under discussion are completed to the satisfaction...

Please be kind to them all for they know not what they speak.. Pearls of wisdom should never be thrown unless the recipient is willing to do the catching and understand.

You do yourself a serious injustice by posting a so called article when in fact it is nothing more than readers of an article posting their comments. The fact you deliberately left out the various readers names from this shows you made a deliberate attempt to deliver a fraudulentdocument. The...

The correct title and DATE is Possible Collapse of Pakistan: Quantifying the Fallout By Ashish Puntambekar Issue: Vol 23.1 Jan-Mar 2008 Why can't some of you read before posting old out of date material and wasting band width? This is from 2008, just incase some have forgotten it is...

let me guess, the body language told you !.. left: I am strangling on my tie.. right: Oh not this story again!

I have not read the book and doubt I ever would. Yep.. X spurt. Note to thread started: Stop making me work, I am ill a cripple and well, just a ratus ratus :D..

Ok so do you want me to burst out laughing in a hysterical manner or just cry from laughter with the fact someone dares to make such a comment.. You should well know my opinion so you should realise I am not being funny here. Bluntly there is no option but for India and Pakistan to have...

Well many countries still use the 7.62 for their section pl MGs And the 5.56 aint got the hitting power that was expected. The rnd won't even go through a building wall. Do some background reading re the US and the M4 and how it is loved so much.:no: Also as pointed out there is a group...

First a few corrections to some peoples posts here: In Vietnam it was the M16 series using the 5.56 NATO round. The current US weapon the M4 is a development of the M16 but in essence degraded. The M16 when it first came out was a pain to keep operating. Cleaning was a high point of its...

Interesting article. But there are defiantly a few more interesting ones at New World Strategies Coalition. All worth reading.

Blame rests in my view on radical Wahabbism which has created heretical so called versions of Islam. This is a valid point and it is more important for most to see that this is a real fact and not try to hide it under the generalisations of Islam. As for the 'blame game', seem that is a...

This sounds familiar... Think I made comment along this line but above is much better presented. When the US initially pushed Gen Kayani to move against the TTP et al, and wanted him to pull troops off the Pakistan-Indian border they never pushed India to pull their troops back. Any attempts...

You are not disagreeing with me again.. General Kayani I suspect knows full well the problems of any option. None are gong to be sweet in everyones eyes. Seems he is doing what is required, looking at the real long term issues while US is looking at their current situation as a NOW matter not...

TROJAN.EXE You may call your location C:\Windows\System32 but you certainly seem to actually stem from an 8 bit system. Time to try out for a real upgrade...

I think/hope they realise that little can be done re the Afghan Taliban till the other problems are resolved. If not you will be not only fighting the TTP and its residue but the Afghan Taliban, who have so far stayed out of internal matters at least on the obvious surface. Add to that the...
