frankly pakistan is in no position today either militarily or economically to bargain ....... and US would rather twist who needs to be and not who is not required to be
Such a huge understatement but then again what more could we expect. I'll suggest take H2O3C4Nitrogen's advice seriously.
well that can be a point of view ..... but it cant be the reality facing Pakistan today. Its a question of white washing the facts and turning a blind eye to whats happening within your own country. In the name of "peace" you have conviniently handed over Swat, Fata and now Buner on a platter to the radical thought processes which threaten to destroy the very fabric of Pakistan as it was known. I know you will say imposition of Sharia is a logical extension and no compromise as the existence of same within the state of Pakistan is not new. But do you really want to delude yourself with the same for is it not Sharia per se that has been accepted but their interpretation which devalues the very basic of human values and dignity that an average citizen of Pakistan has come to take for granted and cherished?
Deep within even the GoP realises that inspite of its bold attempts to put up a brave front, its very existence as an administration is now being challenged and it finds itself increasingly unable to cope with this menace that threatens to engulf the cities and towns of Pakistan with militants attacking at will and with impunity! It also faces the dilemma of having to take economic assistance in order to mitigate the effects of an already troubled economy reeling under the dual impact of global financial problems and increased levels of violence and loss of investor confidence in Pakistani economy and balancing it with the desires of a radical group which is anti to the very nations which are crucial for Pakistan's economic survival in the present time.
If you think by using terminology of geopolitics etc, you become a person who appreciates the nuances of the same then you are sadly mistaken. It takes a deep and educated understanding on factors influencing geopolitical affairs and the influence or potential thereof a nation can weild on affairs around it.
The only strong point Pakistan has today, is its importance in containing the threat posed by this rabid ideology which is threatening the very nature of Islam and its teaching as millions of educated Muslims know it, and to kowtow to the same just because you dont have the guts to take them onwill be the tragedy that millions will have to pay for with their life and rights to life.
First of all it wasn't given on platter as you always like to put it but for a very different reason People did not wanted army over there, they said they will take care of the mess, however that is not important at this time. Moreover as for the Sharia law, it was something people of SWAT wanted, and hence we went according to the public wishes and not because taliban wanted it.
The problem with people like you sitting out side is that you cannot and will not understand the complexities involved in those areas. They have always been semi autonomous from the existence of Pakistan and there never has been a problem until now. GOP and the army has to go with the popular wishes in that area. You cannot win a war where the local population does not support you and in order to gain their support, one has to make sacrifices and that is exactly what we are doing, and there are numerous articles/news stating where such strategy has worked, people stood up against the Talibans and started supporting PA even took arms them selves to drive Taliban out(now don't come up with why are the locals being armed).
The problem occurs when a US drone comes in and attacks, kills maybe one or two terrorists and more civilians in the process in the name of collateral damage and that is counter productive to what we have achieved so far. People who would support the PA otherwise are strongly against such strikes and hence back to square one taliban gain popularity.
You know it is very easy to sit outside and access the situation based on internet and media and then make a mind of your own, however reality is far from what you have in your mind. I don't expect you to understand, you never will, however don't expect us to share your vision either.
look their are ample ways i can proov same for india which you can for Pakistan but to me its simply childish and unproductive and waste of time and energy. Plz dont engage in a battle of earning points to proove each other countries bad and unable to govern it self .
Both Pakistan and India have many loopholes from which many Global Powers sneak in and try to play with the Govs of both countries .
I felt so bad that india they couldnt mustered up courage to host IPL there but you know that for every action there is a reaction and it were the Indian Cricket fans who considered Cricket as their Religion suffered in the end.
PLZ wake up dont allow yourself to be USED by some superpower half a million miles away for the sake of its tyrany from your borders instead contribute towards the establishment of friendly relations with countries which surround you.
This is how europe recovered after the 2nd world war If they can then why cant we.

Sir.
A.let me clear your mind a bit,most of the timmes PA keep secret, its opreational activities,from our political authority , you can name it ! all the opreations against "soviet forces", even the "kargill war" & its whole opreational activities never been discussed with the prime minster thn?
he was told about the basics but , not all opreational activities!
I did point out that to be the case. A military op is planned and executed based on political directive in demoracies. But then as I pointed out PA has history of undermining it so SOP may differ there, a statement you have concurred with I see. As for information to PM of Afghan war, let me refresh you that at the time it was a military dictator who was in power (someone known as Gen Zia-ul-Haq) so the question of not telling the PM about anti-Soviet operations is irrelevant and if you mean to say information was withheld from the General then you are far off course. Also you claim facts of Kargil being similar. Well Gen Musharraf claimed to have kept the PM abreast of situations at every minute. So either you dont know what you are saying or he does not know. As for your iminent defense in terms of emplacement of your weapons/type of force employed etc, that even the Brigade Commander is not told when he gives a task to a CO of a unit to achieve.
so therefore your , info about PA is very wrong.
actually no. I did highlight the probability of PA not acting under political directive.
its good to have you on fourm , your are a educated , & somehow logical brain but , many of your knowledge is purly bassed on the the things , which you read on line or , from the books.
thank you for the compliments sir. yes am pretty well read but not online. you are welcome to initiate a military discussion where we can discuss concept of operations in any sector you choose to. Am sure you shall find am able to keep up to quite an extent.
remember i asked you , a question ? did ever been to a SOS( special opreation school), you never gave any answer ?
if you want to discuss any training school of special or regular forces, name that and we can discuss.
i asked that question just because , i felt that your , info IS BASSED on the books or the articals , its surly not a info FROM a EX/ARMED forces , my dear sir!
I did say am not going to claim what am not. Am a dotor by profession and my profile defines me fully.
using all the combat skills with "lighiting speed & perfect accuracy" within a given time limit & to take enemy by surprize called "special opreation"? i guss , we are not disscussing political leadership & its role?
let me explore you, something !
I agree but my point was political directives leading onto discription of military objectives.
i had faced your special forces , in special kargill war!your '70 Infantry Brigade" or "9 Mahar Regiment"what really happeed in "Point 5090-metres in Dras(tiger hill)" or in "Point 5300-metres and 5329-metres in the Batalik sector" just find the people from above mentioned brigades or Regiments & try to learn something trully practical instead.
IT WAS JUST 5 UNITS OF PAKARMY, WHO YOU GUYS WERE FIGHTING , WITH 4 DIVISIONS OF IA?
Ok what part of 70 Infantry Bde/9 MAHAR is SF sir? Both are regular infantry formations. What arm exactly were you in sir? Please please do not say infantry.
Also am sure you dont really need a lengthy discussion on mountain and high altitude warfare and the ratio needed to be achieved to successfully attack a prepared defensive position in a terrain where no defilade is available to the attacking troops. In addition you really dont want me to sit and explain to you the reasons why this high ratio has to be achieved for extremely slow moving troops who are attacking a feature.
In the last of my posts in this thread i did mentioned that , they got the moves but still they lack in "speed & accuracy"
really sir? then why are you sitting below the glacier in Siachen till date in spite of being at war with India over it since 1984 whiile having an advantage of supplies coming by road right till base camp while India does air maintenance from Pratapur? why have not the "crack" PA troops managed to dislodge IA from features which have hardly 7-10 men each (section level) defending, till date?
what you think , INDIAN SPECIAL FORCES are better trained & better equiped thn of US SPECIAL FORCES fighting in afghanistan?
dear , sir
I am really not underestimating the capabillities of INDIA SF's, nor i am undermining thier skills , but its MISSION IMPOSIBLE for them , with no knowledge of languages, no know how of roads links, its only putting , those brave mans in the jaws of death with no way out.
actually you are now beating a tactical retreat dear sir.I am quite aware of Indian 9 SF ops in Chitral region during Kargil itself .......so really please enough with what you have given out. You cant really differentiate a bit between specialised forces/regular forces, then you go on to obfuscate things by claiming PA antecedants
i hope you understand, politics US needs someone's shoulder to fire the shots in afghanistan, where after all the B1's B52's, PREDATORS , f-22 , deep bunker busters bombs , MARINES CROPS, money bribes everything! they are lossing why?
and again you make the mistake of a novice ..... air power employment in high altitude is severely restricted by operating ceiling of said ACs as Kargil proved with shooting down of Mi-17, Mig-21, Mig27 leading to higher employment of ACs for protection and reducing the accuracy. Cost per weapon/benefit obtained for Paveway kits is too high for frequent employment in moutainous terrain.
i can asure you that our SSG wasnt involved , in any of terrorists activities in INDIA, I guss , both RAW & ISI never send thier armed forces personels , for the activities you had mentioned, with poverty leveling highst levels in both countries, its ezy to find poors to do the job , without any diplomatic difficulties, & prooflessness?
am sure they were not involved in 1965/71 also
It also shows , how much is your mind effected from the day to day bias articals & the cheap books, with antipakistan & antiISI propaganda.
batmannow
Dear Sir
plz prove the under line section , with good links!
ah your good links will be your own choice. am sure if you were to google you shall find plenty of them claiming Nawaz Sharif was aware of operations planned to be executed by April 1999.
Musharraf and the truth about the Kargil war with India
just an example. You can find more "good" links if you google.
i stand by , what i had said before, i guss reading books from rtd. genrals will never leed you in to reality, you need to be there, on the ground ,in the action! my friend.
And for this purpose , you need tobe in the army, your info is qiute good but, still you are far from the real battle field, i guss you can , change your profession & can join bollywood easily, with lots of money & fame. i guss , bollywood need your kind of educated producers, story makers.
and I told you my info is not online previously and definitely not from reading books alone. i have certain amount of "exposure" and we can leave it at that. did say its upto you to decide. my info is better than for a person who is well read and a great googler. am sure if you were to go through some of my posts of previous and in future were to follow, you shall realise the same. on the other hand, I certainly have not made myself look like a dunce whilst claiming Kargil antecedants and then making the gaffe of questioning the rationalisation of ratio of troops employed by an attacking force in a mountainous and high altitude region - a query which as ex-PA you should know the answer to (for referrence you can refer to US Army FM 3-97.6 pertaining to operations in the mountains, something your officer corps uses quite frequently)
Am sure my profession presently is adequate and I do make plenty of money at that too
Q.let me refresh you that at the time it was a military dictator who was in power (someone known as Gen Zia-ul-Haq) so the question of not telling the PM about anti-Soviet operations is irrelevant and if you mean to say information was withheld from the General then you are far off course.
A. Let me enlight your educated but illinformed mind that, at the time of "late shaheed president of pakistanGen Zia-ul-Haq", there was a primminster & his name was ?
I see a pattern of transferrence. Its a defensive mechanism by which a person tries to shift focus onto something which is not unpleasant to him (in laymans terms)
now by highlighting above, you mean to say that the said General was sharing power with his Prime minister as also there existed two centers of gravity in the government of the day? how much will you deviate and deflect sir? Is it not so that the Gen was the supreme and ultimate authority in Pakistan that time and as such he has to be in the know of things? Please do say no !!!::
SO, THERE FORE! MY DEAR & EDUCATED , BUT ILLINFORMED FRIEND!
plz stop typical indian stlye , lectures on the subjects , which you never know ?
do you seriously equate me with your grasp of things as basic as moutain warfare (being ex-PA)? Please be kind enough not to. You are in a league far beyond and of its own yourself sir. And what arm did you serve in? SSG?Infantry?
well about your special forces going to afghanistan , for combat!
seriously , dont let them die without funrels.
they, for your info, are already there. my coursemate was posted to wireless experiment unit of IA there (name given to SIGINT troops of IA) after commissioning from IMA there in 2003 itself. so am sure am quite aware of troops disposition there.
plz learn !
definitely I shall but not mountain warfare from you. have suddenly developed an aversion for the same especially if a Kargil veteran will teach and yet asks such degenrate questions on force structure and time equations.
And as proof you post a blog? I mean this is too good. I can post millions of same pointing out that ISI is behind terror in India etc. Its redundant. For your info please do go through this
Kargil Review Committee Report
Its the reporting of Kargil Review Commitee ... something my father was a part of and I am very much aware of .... the Kargil, how why and when.
Indian media falsified claims of casualties only for the ones occurring on night of May3-4th when 3 Indian posts fell with over 70 killed (no doubt a brilliantly executed op by PA). This I know and was aware of immediately. The news was picked up by Star TV and Zee News after Pakistan claimed 3 posts as captured. However Initially it was denied and then only 15 or so casualties were acknowledged which was to cross to over 130 in about another 7 days .. spacing was definitely done to minimise impact of casulties on Indian public.
need more?
yes to professional ideas and objective posts from a service member, no to BS anmd crap from some one claiming to be one. its your decision again what you want to be
which superpower used India in IPL hosting? This will not be a delusion also for that needs an external stimuli. Here there is an absence so its pure hallucination. The reason was the corporates were to face losses which were too large to be ignored by IPL governing body and so they moved as central government was unable to provide for adequate secuirty forces for these which were coinciding with general elections .... now if you cant comprehend this aspect and corelate it with events then I cant help you. Its no geopolitic here!
If sirilankan team is being attacked in Pakistan then same can happen in india. Its a lame excuse that you are making . IPL was shifted coz many in india feared that Pakistan will take revenge after wat india did to sabotaje PAK-SIRILANKA cricket series .
Indian Intelligance agencies masterminded the attack on sirilankan team its an open truth which nobody can deny.
There is a bloody game going on btw the ISI & RAW and on that front it was RAW which broked the rules of the game by sabotaging the cricket series. But eventually in the end it were poor indian cricket fans which have been deprived from viewing cricket in their own country. The worldcup is near . Many experts thought the Indian agencies used the unrest in Pakistan and the tamil tiger war in Sirilanka to deprive these countries from hosting the Planed cricket matches in their own venu. But such a move is bound to fail becauze If you can groome one BaitullahMehsud here than there can be ten like him in India. The vast Indian muslim population and the unjust killings of innocent muslims by the BERHAMIN class hindus can bring hell in your country .
