Three questions: What are the reasons that we will remain thallay lagey? And if PTI were in power, how would Imran Khan deal with those reasons? And if there is a solution that PTI could have come up with, why can NS government not come up with them as well?
Primary reason is aid, i.e. bribe money given to Pakistani leaders. Pakistani leaders have converted the country into a beggar state and where else will you get your money to loot if the nation has squat?
Just as an example if you go see ex-PM Gillani's new house and if you saw his house before he became PM you'll see the difference, how did his fortunes turn on a PM's official salary SO much? He robbed the Pak economy after infusing it with US aid money.
Nothing is free, this is the payment they give to Pakistan to do its bidding. @
CENTCOM 's posts are devoid of REAL facts (can't blame, an official mouthpiece for not debating facts but regurgitating fashionable official statements) and is a narrative of selective memory. He gave an example of supply route blockade as an example of Pakistani independence from the US. We have carefully studied this when this was going on. A lot of aid was still going on... Air space was still open to the US.
The only problem was the US effed up and Pakistani government did all that it did to save face, not as a policy shift or policy independence. All the while they were worried about finding a face saving method to somehow resume the Nato supply route. Perhaps even more worried than the Americans were. The real Kambakhti during that period was of the Pak government by being stuck between a rock and a hard place. What did the Pak government do? They took a non-apology from Hillary (its well documented on t his forum) declared victory by calling it an apology and resumed it the first odd chance they got.
In the mean time some further funds were released to Pakistan, i.e. into their pockets.
With PTI, they have stated on thing categorically, they will not take aid - categorically aid from the US. If they remain true to this - I'm sure koi bhooka nahi marne wala we spent the 90s with American sanctions as well, and if Sep 11 wouldn't have happened we still would have been surviving on those sanctions. I'm sure we would have been better off if Sep 11 had not happened. Sep 11 as someone I know put it, was really an attack on Pakistan as we got screwed the most. Everyone else came out better. Anyway I'm digressing. Pakistan not only lacks an honest leadership, its plagued by a leadership which in any other country would be hanged for treason en masse for its crimes against its own nation.
Supporters of drone attacks IMO are just those, mulk dushman, gaddaar. I can't accept any other label for someone who wants a foreign military to bomb their own nation.
