Hi,
It is very important to read this article without prejudice, hate and dislike of america. The article gives a clear picture of what is happening around us, what kind of pressure the millitary and the govt has to face. It also tells us that how limited our resources are.
Just because we can talk the talk and know about all the things happening in the world, does not increase our ability. Young pakistanis must always remember the earthquake that we had---the capitol of the country did not have a heavy rescue operation equipment available---the city being built on or close to a major fault line---did not have any machinery and people trained to carry out rescue operations. We didnot have a single machine to pickup or cut the heavy concrete slabs of the people trapped nder the debris. This is what our true ability is---so keep that picture in mind before thinking of taking that predator out.
Once we realize that we are a poor country then we can start making changes to bring about a difference. Pakistan does not have the resource to detect incoming U S flights if the u s decides to blind our radars. It also has the resources to track the blind zones of our radars and fly through those zones---just like israel did recently to syria.
Someone quoted about tomahawk flight and Nawaz knew about it. No---no one knew about it---only Anthony Zinni did---he was having dinner with his pakistani counter part and told him that at that time the tomahawk were flying over pakistani space onwards to afghanistan. But a couple of them dropped short of their target and landed in pakistan----.
Here I would like to take the oppurtunity of starting this rumour for the sake of our religious friends---that a sindhi and a baluchi saint long dead, came out of their tombs and flew towards the missiles and tried to thwart the attack and held them and in the process brought down two tomahawk cruise missiles which landed intact on the soil of pakistan. After putting them down, they flew upwards again to bring the rest of them down---but alas the tomahwak were flying too fast. Now incidently---these saints, as usual were wearing a green coloured flowing robe. Rumour has it that in the 1971 war, one of the sindhi saints whose tomb is right next to the LANDSDOWN bridge on river indus at sukkur---would fly upwards in his green robe and catch the bombs lobbed by the indian planes directed at the bridge. He caught many of the bombs and brought them safely to the ground and the bridge was left undamaged. How do I know of it---I lived in sukkur after that war---people believed in it.
I think that our pathan brothers need the help of some night flying saint dressed in a green robe from sindh to help them thwart the random attacks of american predators. I think that Nawaz Sharif and Zardari need that help as well. They asked for it all---they got it all.
