ISLAMABAD: US General Stanley McChrystal Monday appreciated the strength and capability of the Pakistan Army in the operation against militants and emphasized the need for more strategic cooperation between the armed forces of the two countries to counter the activities of extremist elements.

Talking to a group of journalists at the US embassy, the US General said, 'coordination is the key in success in the war against terror in the region.'

General McChrystal said he had been in touch with General Ashfaq Pervez Kayani and talked with him about the ongoing issues and further cooperation between the armed forces of Pakistan and US.

"We have been able to discuss each and every thing and are comfortable with each other in these talks," he said.

He said, "trust deficit between Pakistan and US forces has been shrinking," adding that there was still need for more strategic cooperation to further reduce it.

The US General said he had very close relations with General Kayani adding that sometimes personal relations matter a lot in developing the operational cooperation.

He said, “the best thing we can is to build trust” for achieving the results in the war against terror.
Appreciating the strategic planning by Pakistan Army under General Kayani, General McChrystal said he was really impressed by this planning and termed it “very good”.

He acknowledged the sacrifices of the Pakistan Army and FC in the war against terrorism.

The US General said the US was seeking cooperation from Pakistan for developing joint strategic partnership and for joint and coordinated campaign plan.

General McChrystal said, “I don't have any doubt on the will of Pakistan Army as I have seen the courage and sacrifices of the Army.” He added that he was optimistic.

Referring to the threat of Al-Qaida and Taliban, he said there was still need for cooperation among all the stakeholders and stay committed to work against these terrorists who were still threat to the peace and security of the people.

Justifying the surge of international forces in Afghanistan, the US General said the main objective of the ISAF and US forces was to secure the areas to ensure peace and security for the Afghan people so that the Afghan forces could take on the responsibility.

Answering a question about the future role of Pakistan and other countries in this war against terror, the US General said, “I have not talked about 'do more'. We should all do what is appropriate and cooperate with each other as well as we can.” -APP

""there is a lack of co-ordination on both sides, which I believe is now going to be ramped-up. accusing each other (esp when we r on the same side) dosnt help much!.""

"Coordination" is a misnomer in this conext. Cooridnation is between equals. Pakistan Army is being misused as a surrogate tool of convenience to releive pressure on the US Forces in Afghanistan for very low wages.

Only Yemani forces are fighting Americas war on its soil against its own people with the same level of enthusiasm.

Our beautiful nation has been robbed of its peace and tranquility through greed of its political and military leadership.

analysis: Drone attacks: challenging some fabrications —Farhat Taj

One of the most hair-brained articles I have ever come across.

Our sence of honor as a soveriegn nation has been desensitized to a level that paid comunists of Farhat Taj elk find an eager audiance amongst our people.

Its back to the ARVN days of Vietnam circa 1970, when South Vietnamese Army was "cooridnating" bombing of its own people and territory with the Americans. It is shameful that PAF while entrusted with the Defense of our sovereign air space cannot shoot down slow moving drones operating in its territory.

FGM-148 Javelin, its an Anti Tank guided Missile.
I'm not really sure if it can reach altitudes to shoot down a drone flying at 30,000 ft.
 




Both of these worked to shoot down UAV's. Dunno if they would work in real life, pretty neat that they used this kind of stuff in a video game.

They even used a map based on Pakistan!
