Blast in Peshawar Cantt - Super Mrkt

[desioptimist]

Well the simple fact is one American $ is equal to 86 Pakistani rupees. And what is the worth of a Pakistani??? Nothing. So obviously the establishment is going to care for that thing which is more worthy.


So just chill like Rehman malik and move on.

Blaming US and burning their flag wont give you anything. That time has gone. Now people should put pressure on govt to control the jihadis first.
Tomorrow if americans pack their bags and go, jihadis will still kill you.
The other choice is of course agree to their demands.

Dollars are extra bonus for doing the operation, what people confuse is that they are the only reason for the operations that happen in Pakistan.
Operations started earlier dollars came later, and if your government and army did not looked at countries interest and only looked at the dollars, don't they should be questioned? But then some people here also says that army should not be questioned. If you want accountability in the system, everyone should be accountable.

It is time the Pakistan Administration came up with the right answers on how to solve this problem. It seems like the government of Pakistan is content to 'wait it out' till the US withdraws its troops from Afghanistan, while Pakistan is burning from the terrorism of these terrorists.

There are two important questions that need to be asked in relation to why Pakistan hasn't taken enough incisive action to eradicate terrorist groups in the FATA:

1. Does the Pakistan Administration on some level still believe the terrorist groups in the FATA are still strategic assets, despite the fact that many of these groups have ties with Al-Qaeda, & have been responsible for many terrorist acts, such as this one today. I don't know how the Pakistan Administration could in any way view these groups (that commit terrorism inside Pakistan) as strategic assets. Even if the US withdraws from Afghanistan, the groups will not shift all their focus on Afghanistan: they will still be 'engaged' inside Pakistan as well. Pakistan has stopped supporting the LeT from before the WOT in 2001, but the LeT is supported by the Punjabi Taliban & other local groups.

2. Does the Pakistan Administration not want to act in full force against these terrorist groups in fear of retribution, or getting completely stretched out inside Pakistan with little to no reward? This seems like a more rational explanation, but this does not solve the problem of terrorism inside Pakistan in the long run.

There is very little real information we know about w.r.t the events transpiring inside FATA: which specific groups are being killed in drone attacks, are civilians being killed more than terrorists, are the drone strike targets given by Pakistan's ISI or local 'informers'/spies of the CIA. And many questions about the cross-border infiltration from the safe havens of Afghanistan into Pakistan, & vice versa. Both the US/NATO Forces in Afghanistan, & Pakistan need to formulate better strategies to solve this headache for both countries. It has gone on for too long, & it is showing no signs of abating.

It seems the situation in Pakistan has now become uncontrollable. It's gone so far out of hand that the Army and para military forces are now out of their depth in trying to deal with this menace. So what lies ahead? Unless terrorism is wiped out, Pakistan it seems is destined to slide further into chaos.

Alas, the policy of the Establishment of running with the hare whilst hunting with the hounds is a disaster from which Pakistan will find extremely difficult to recover from. An immediate change in strategic direction is the need of the hour. But will the Army change course? It is following a strategy of maintaining equilibrium, which means that if peace comes about in Pakistan and Afghanistan, then the American aid amounting to billions of dollars would dry up. The monetary crutches that keeps Pakistan propped up would collapse and the Generals would be left holding the ball!

Such a policy of maintaining controlled chaos or manageable instability would pay in the long run. Or that's what the Army thinks. Unfortunately the government has no role to play in all this as foreign (Security) policy in regards to South Asia is handled entirely by the Army top brass.

Nothing is uncontrollable, the terrorism in Sri Lanka for example went on for more than two decades in full force. Sri Lanka eventually got through it. There are many such other examples in other countries as well. The PKK in Turkey were a brutal force as well. India had more terrorism from 1994-2005 than what Pakistan has had from 2001-2011, but India has overcome many of its problems as well. It was because the Indian leadership for the most part has made right decisions. While Pakistan is much better equipped than Sri Lanka to deal with its threats, Pakistan's stability depends on the right kind of US/NATO Forces actions in Afghanistan, thanks to the bloody goddamn porous western Pakistan-Afghanistan border. As of now, it seems to me that there is nothing Pakistan can do to influence the situation in Afghanistan to improve its own situation, as long as the US Forces are there, so it is looking at 'damage control'.

The imminent action of the government should be impose emergency.

I think the first & the second of your points have become heavily intertwined. Some still view some of these groups as strategic assets & when that is questioned because of the actions of these groups, the dilemma posed in your second comment emerges. If you decide they are not strategic assets but actually constitute a threat, the logical follow up would be take them on which is not an appealing idea for many reasons, not the least being the fear of Pakistan being swallowed up in a full blown civil war. That forces the hands of the authorities who have to forcibly continue to consider these groups strategic assets. A bit like riding a tiger. Can't afford to get off because you are not really convinced that you can take on the tiger & deciding that you are in for the ride till some future date when you think you might be able to face up to the tiger who in the meanwhile is eating up your family & friends & growing ever stronger making the thought of getting off an even more unpalatable idea. Pakistan is now clearly caught in a trap & with absolutely no easy way out.

A FM station in Charsadda has also been attacked.

Sir, any source or link for that?

If you have tried to crush cockroaches, you will know they dont die easily. They are the ones which can live through nuclear winter. The best method is to clean up the house so that these roaches need not come at all.

 

[Safriz]

Another day, another atrocious incident.

A FM station in Charsadda has also been attacked.

The best course of action should be for the President to declare emergency rule and the security apparatus of this nations should be ordered to capture all militants and their supporters. They should be swiftly brought to justice in military courts and exterminated, there is no other solution.

Similarly the foreign funding of these militants from 'brotherly' nations should be abruptly stopped and the internal framework of support broken.

its definately cia.
on a mission to defame PA . Lets see what they do next.
