This is a fake mfg media based watershed event.SSridhar wrote:Salman Taseer's assassination is somehow touted as a watershed event.
The PA is not an immutable organization. It keeps changing with times. In my taxonomy, the significant power-brokers in Pakistan are (in random order): Islamists, PA, elites (whom we identify as RAPEs), and GoTUS. The 'elites' are the original 22 families, now expanded to about 40-odd plus some neo-rich like Salman Taseer. The so-called 'Establishment' is actually a collection of these people. In a matrix like structure, the Islamists can be found among the elites, and the PA; the PA has elites etc. Their cooperation has so far cut across visible lines of division and Islamist sects (though the new Salafi/Wahhabi/Deobandi order that is sweeping across wants to distill the Establishment to its purest form), so long as red lines are not crossed. Each one of them is a parasite on the other (and collectively they are parasites on Pakistan, the 3½ Friends and their allies) and each one has an agenda, but, of course there are common threads connecting all of them as well. Each party thinks that the other three would not be able to ditch it even as it needs the other three. At different times, the power of these disparate parties waxes and wanes within the group and accordingly we, the external observers, make our own judgement. The PA (or sections of it) are under considerable Islamist influence and things like this or the Khwaja affair happen. The 'elites' will recover and cut a new deal. At this point in time, the PA, the elites and the GoTUS are losing ground to the Islamists. It seems that the loss is so great that recovery may be impossible.RajeshA wrote:The Army's part of the deal was to protect RAPE's lives and lifestyle from Army's 'other partners'.
Now the RAPE are crying foul, because Army is not doing its part of the bargain.

Ha! This is lifafa journalism at its best (or worst, depending how you look at it). Christine Fair, who was in the land of the pure to conduct this interview, was there for a strategic purpose. Probably for a special assignment paid for by....you guessed it - the paki lobbyists in DC. A feel good assignment at best to deflect the ever growing criticism in gworld capitals of everything paki. Be prepared for more of such "feel good reports" by Ms. Fair in the next few months (on paki moderation, on paki look-forward economy, on paki-army-doing-a-commendable-job-despite-desperate-odds, on paki-multiculturism...you know the routine). Ms. fair had exposed her bias way back when she concocted her story of having "discovered" the real purpose of Indian consulates in Iran and Afghanistan.Yet, amazingly, only 1,985 people perished while another 2,946 were injured. Given the population density of the affected regions, the poor infrastructure, and the baseline level of poverty, these figures are astonishingly low. In spite of the physical destruction, the fact that fewer than 2,000 Pakistanis died suggests that the Pakistani government did something very well last summer.
If Pa'astan has to survive for the PA to have a country, the partition must be of Pa'astan from the RAPES. Give the RAPES their own sanctuaries within the land of Pa'astan (like San marino or Andorra).RajeshA wrote:the Partition of RAPE from Pakistan
Opening statements in the second-degree murder trial of Muzzammil Hassan began on Tuesday in Erie County Court in Buffalo.
The 46-year-old Hassan is accused of stabbing and decapitating 37-year-old Aasiya Hassan in 2009 inside the studios of Bridges TV.
The Pakistan-born couple founded the station to counter negative images of Muslims after 9/11.
Hassan's lawyer has said he may use a battered spouse defence. But in divorce papers signed six days before she died, Aasiya Hassan says she was the one who was abused.

I think there's no need to worry and instead stock up on the popcorn and beer and watch this soap unfurling. The joker sitting on the left with a handle Amar Hussein or such, talks about protecting Pakistani and Muslim culture in English with an American accent, using phrases like: "I know what these guys do..." etc. The fukker can't even talk in Urdu and probably doesn't live in Pakistan or if he does he's a uber Rape junior who goes to or went to the American school which Taseer's daughter went (remember those scantily clad fotos?). These jokers also probably go to parties where they drink and party with female flesh on ample display.Acharya wrote:
