Re: Af-Pak -> Pak-Af Watch

ramana Your Baitullah theory is a tad simplistic IMHO. Unkil took him out not because they were tricked by Kayani but because at the core Baitullah was a TSPA asset. Despite his attacks on TSPA, Baitullah obeyed the call of Hamid Gul types to take out Benazir. There is still a video floating around ...

Re: Terrorist Islamic Republic of Pakistan (TSP): 29th May

US is brilliantly toying with both India & TSP. Onle action that is needed from US is to mention India, and that will throw the TSP generals into a tizzy, and you will see Kiyani grovel before Obama. All US has to say is we support India in Afghanistan. No other action is necessary from US to f...

Why would the US need a revolution in India? If it wants certain outcomes, the current set up can (and some will say has already been) be easily manipulated to achieve them.

On that terrorist-e-Pakistan photu, the guy standing to Hafiz-e-suar's left is FAzlur Rehman Khalil, the ISI's point man for connection with Al Qaeda. TSPA thinks it's sticking it to Unkil by trotting out Khalil just like it is doing to India with Hafiz-e-pig. Time will tell if that was so smart.
