7 US choppers to join flood relief operation
ISLAMABAD (APP) - US Ambassador to Pakistan Anne W Patterson on Friday announced that as an initial response to the floods in Pakistan, the US government is immediately making seven helicopters available to assist the Pakistani government in its relief efforts.
The heavy monsoon rains have caused much sufferings, said Ambassador Patterson, adding we are working with Pakistani government to review urgent humanitarian needs and hope to announce additional assistance very soon.

My argument is simple, if Army has to defenend pakistan, fight against terrorism, protect pakistan's respect and dignitiy on forigen office matters by giving some physical or statemental responses, they have to handel floods, earthquakes why then people elect these junkies like Zardari, Gilani, Amin Fahim, Qureshi's both forigen minister, defence minister and Nawaz company Co.Ltd. Let then army to run country, why then. Where are political and administrative people now.
Politicans of ANP and Sindh oppose to construct dams, PPP and PML N dont want to talk on this topic because they dont want to lose their vote bank. So being a pakistani when i think on these issues i hate them all, alone nobody can not chage this. Kala Bagh and other dams are our need, they save water protect from foolds, boost economy. But on our nataion is Lanat by Allah and it will remain on us till we will not sincere and serious to pakistan

WASHINGTON — The US military is sending American pilots and helicopters to Pakistan to help with rescue and relief efforts after devastating floods, the Pentagon said on Tuesday.
The pilots will fly four US Army CH-47 Chinook choppers and two UH-60 Blackhawks in flood-hit mountainous areas that are inaccessible by road, spokesman Colonel Dave Lapan told reporters.
"We intend to send CH-47s and UH-60s to go to Pakistan and assist in efforts associated with the floods there," Lapan said.
The military had hoped to have the helicopters, which are based in neighboring Afghanistan, already deployed to Pakistan but bad weather postponed the operation on Tuesday, he said.
The Pentagon earlier supplied Pakistan's interior ministry with several helicopters for rescue efforts, but the latest assistance would involve American pilots flying the aircraft.
In Pakistan, where Washington's policies enjoy little public support, the presence of any US military personnel is a politically sensitive subject. A small contingent of American special forces in the country that train Pakistani soldiers keeps a low public profile.
US-supplied helicopters already have rescued more than 700 people from flood-affected areas of Pakistan and delivered thousands of pounds of rations, officials said on Monday.
Drawing on stocks of humanitarian supplies in Afghanistan and the region, the US military has helped deliver 316,000 halal meals to Pakistan and planned to ferry another 110,000 meals later on Tuesday, Lapan said.
Pakistan issued new flood warnings Tuesday, as the country battled to cope with the worst floods in living memory affecting 3.2 million people and killing up to 1,500.

Yes it would have prevented to sum extend .Not Peshawar but the village which are down stream .
They surely can be prevented from the water flow.
Sum days back irrigation authorities were able to sucessful in reducing the flow of 10 Lack Cusecs to 6 Lakh cusic . So if we had Kalabagh we could have reduced it to just 2Lack cusecs tht would have caused very minor destruction as compare to what it has done now.
