Some defence experts can shed light on what the new mijjile is? How come pakis can come up with new weapons out of their musharraf without any R&D or failures. Do they get technology from tallel friends or tallel just ships them a couple of dozen ones via karakoram to fire now and then to keep yevil yindoos to cower in their dhotis.

Singha saar,
I think that the Saudi Arabians would by now be more engaged with the 'Shia' threat that is now knocking on their doors.
So naturally the Wahabi money would go towards trying to pull the Iranians down a few notches.

This could mean that if there are KSA strings attached to Pakistani Jehadis, they will be ordered to go after Shia's within Pakistan, or to directly take on Iran.

Hopefully this distraction will consume the wahabi money supply for some time to come.

"Sports of both the countries have suffered because of the politics, but people from both the sides want to see their teams playing - be it hockey, cricket or any other sport," Abbas said, who played 72 test matches for Pakistan.
Where has Indian sport suffered last I know we won the world cup. We have turned world cricket upside down just today Chris Gayle refused to play Pakis in West Indies and opted to stay back and suffer in IPL. Entire SriLankan team was up in revolt over their boards decision to pull them back.

On lighter side Abbas has played 72 tests for pakis :mrgreen:

Gagan wrote:To contain Pakistan at least three steps are needed:
1. Divide Pakistan
2. De nuke the constituents
3. Cut off any direct land border with China.

One can add several other things to this list as I've enumerated some of these below, but the three main ones are the most important.
i) Ensure that the constituent states have very small armies, politicians run the countries.
ii) Ensure that there is economic development, and emphasis on western education.
iii) One can try to keep them busy amongst themselves by 'allowing' them to have border disputes, specially Pakistani punjab.
iv) The unreformable religious zealots need to be tried and punished by each of these countries, under a close watch by us & others. Religious parties banned like in bangladesh.
v) Terrorists who have indulged in crimes need to be extradited to the nations where they committed their crimes and punished as per the law of the land.

As we can see not easy to do at all.
It will need an unusual agreement between its 3.5 boyfriends to let it sink. Two of them China and KSA will want to hold onto Pakistan in its present form for their own reasons.
I wish to add 4 point

4. Create 100 km no mans land between India and pak border
this will create a new route for central Asian resources

Militants publicly slit man's throat in Pakistan
Militants killed a man by slashing his throat in front of hundreds of horrified onlookers, some of whom fainted on seeing it, a media report said Thursday.

Militants picked up Malang Meerak, a vendor, and took him to a public place. There they murdered him in front of hundreds of local residents, Dawn quoted sources as saying.

The militants claimed Mareek was helping security forces.

Sources said a number of locals fainted after watching the incident, which was the second of its kind in less than three weeks. A taxi driver had been killed in a similar manner in the same area

Less Pakistaniyat Overseas
Decline in exporting manpower witnessed. Evil Yindoo/Yehudi Kanspiracy Exposed.
Pakistan could manage to export only 910 skilled workers to the United States during last four years due to poor management and lack of skilful manpower.
the manpower export to countries including Kuwait, the UAE, Qatar, the GCC region, South Korea, western countries and Malaysia is not only down but labourers are also coming back to country due to less expertise in their work
The record revealed that 14,544 Pakistani workers went to Kuwait in 2007 while their number reduced to 6,250 in 2008, 1,542 in 2009 and 119 in 2010.
Number of Pakistani workers in Qatar was 2700 in 2010 as compared to 4,081 in 2009.
According to programme, devised by this group, female candidates would be given training in the household work like personal hygiene

Even the Ummah doesn't care anymore for the purelanders.

I don't know how TSP and US can make such a clean separation between those LeT cadres that attack US and its lackeys and those that attack us SDREs. The later cadres take TSPA/ISI orders as given, while the former are renegade pigLeTs in that they can't control their anger at US and go for ther 72 attacking US in Afganisthan. So Mullen's BS is basically pressure on TSP to manage pigLeTs better, i.e., make sure they are no "rebels" among pigLeTs and they are all under the firm control of TSPA, and the pigLeT anger is channelled properly. I wouldn't put it beyond TSPA/ISI to easily achieve this objective (even though some pigLeTs might be pissed off) for the right price from US.

Once TSP channels the pigLets exclusively on SDRE, the FAIRs, the Krap-ons, the Unevens, the state dept "South Asia" desk etc will be gainfull employed, treated to royal Mugalai cusine to the Taj Mahal in Delhi as they attempt to bring "piss" between the "South Asian rivals", write books, you name it.

Yes, but when Zaid "Haji" Hamid (may Allah shower thousands of choiciest blessings on him 24X7) delivers this dialog on national TV, it really meanssomething for the masses. It brings a faint glimmer of hope to millions of mayoos pa'astanis eager to clutch on to a floating straw. Millions of Ammis in the hinterlands of the Land of the Pure coax their hungry children to sleep by promising them of a better day ahead when they will "chun chun kay marogay" those evil kuffars who are responsbile for the dire condition they are in. When Dharamji says it, its all bollywood and he really does not mean it.

Simple. The unwashed bearded ones that attack SDREs are darker, shorter and could pass for Amar Singhs. They thus become an internal issue.

And the killings start a day ahead of schedule.
Three nationalist leaders burnt alive near Sanghar
Three central leaders of Jeay Sindh Qaumi Mahaz (JSQM), a nationalist party, were burnt alive when some armed men, allegedly belonging to an ethnic group settled in Sindh, opened fires and later set their car on fire near Sanghar on Thursday afternoon, Geo News reported. Pushtoons or Mohajirs?
The incident took place at about 1.00p.m. Soon after the incident, the police cordoned the area and started searching the assailants. 8)

LeT also killing Pakistanis: Asfandyar Wali Khan
New Delhi, Apr 21: Awami National Party (ANP) chief Asfandyar Wali Khan on Thursday said India should not hold Pakistan responsible for the terror attacks carried out by the Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) terror outfit, as they even kill Pakistani army men and innocent citizens.

"India should not hold state responsible for the acts of non-state actors. The same outfit is also killing Pakistani army men and innocent citizens," Khan told reporters here making a reference to the Lashkar-e-Toiba, which masterminded the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks.

PCB launches corruption{or is it anti corruption :rotfl: } education drive

The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has launched a programme aimed at educating its cricketers and officials to stay clear of corruption in the game and maintaining appropriate standards of conduct on and off the field.

"We have held lectures for all the regional teams including coaches who are part of the domestic structure and also for the national under-19 and A team players and support staff," former wicketkeeper Wasim Bari, who heads the programme, told Reuters.

The participants were given lectures on the ICC's anti-corruption code and the PCB code of conduct. "We are also telling them how to behave in a dressing room, how to interact with strangers and outsiders and how to avoid getting lured into corrupt practices," Bari said. "We are preparing them for international cricket."

Salman Butt, Mohammad Asif and Mohammad Amir, who are currently serving minimum five-year bans from the ICC's anti-corruption tribunal for their role in a spot-fixing scandal during last year's tour to England, were not allowed to take part in the programme. One of the steps for their rehabilitation in the verdicts was their involvement in such programmes.

"Since they have appealed against their bans the matter is technically sub-judice," said Bari. "So we can't involve them at the moment."

Lectures were delivered in Urdu and a manual based on the ICC anti-corruption code and the PCB's own code of conduct in Urdu was also distributed. The PCB also plans to hire foreign experts to give future lectures.

On Wednesday the PCB also introduced stricter regulations for agents wishing to represent their players commercially, a consequence of the alleged misdeeds of player-agent Mazhar Majeed in the scandal that saw Asif, Amir and Butt punished.

The developments are part of initiatives recommended to the board by the ICC's task force on Pakistan. Last October, in the immediate aftermath of the spot-fixing scandal, a concerned ICC had recommended a series of remedial measures for the PCB to implement in an effort to clean up the game in Pakistan.

The task force, headed by ECB chairman Giles Clarke, was deputed to work with the PCB in the implementation.

Zahid Hamid type euphoria does not last long, even in a country like pakistan. Also he is suffering from manic depressive disorder. Having said that, for us he is strictly an entertainment material and should not be used as a comparison for Indians.

talks with IMF
Instead of courting the IMF so strenuously, and in the process showing its desperation for its approval, the government should tell it where to get off, and make its programme conditional only on those measures which suit the national interest
wait a minute, I still don't remember IMF begged pakistan to take it's loan.

Kaffir Anupmisra ,
Ghaas is the melting point between Pakistaniat and Khushbooroohaniat. This one common factor bind them in eternal relation of love , understanding and fillialty of beeratherhood -sisterkhood-begumwood-bakarhood. Membership in Ghass club is the sure sign of upward social mobility in Pakistan. Selecting the best young and tender Kushbuaysha to replace the oldest Awrat begum equals to public announcement of most piousness among the most pious Poaks.

Asfandyar Wali Khan asks for asylum :rotfl:
Well, it comes to the same thing:
New Delhi, Apr 21: Awami National Party (ANP) chief Asfandyar Wali Khan on Thursday said that there is a need to revisit the blasphemy law.

"No law is absolutely good or flawed, scarping the blasphemy law is one thing, we actually want to revisit the law and see what changes can be brought," said Khan.

"I say it openly that I am a liberal, democrat and secular and when I say I am secular my views on the law is clear," he added, while emphasizing on his secular credential.

Oh boy:
Khan, whose party is a member of Pakistan's ruling coalition, favoured a regional solution to Af-Pak problems and apprehended that these might otherwise spill over to India.

He said invaders who have crossed Peshawar have always reached Kolkata. "If you have to stop Taliban, extremists or al-Qaeda, help us to finish them across Indus river. Otherwise, Delhi not a target too far."
http://www.zeenews.com/news701533.html

Problem is, this is not invaders from Afghanistan crossing Peshawar into Punjab. More likely it is that it is Pakjabis.

Somali Piracy: Indian Businessman pays ransom for a Pakistani's release

As the deadline to pay ransom for the release of four Pakistani hostages from the captivity of Somali pirates draws near, international organisations have agreed to help raise money, giving families a renewed hope.
Only four days remain in the seven-day deadline given by the pirates, yet the government has failed to take any steps to ensure their recovery so far, reported Express 24/7 on Monday.
Naval Captain Wasi was taken hostage along with three other Pakistanis on August 8, 2010 from an Egyptian cargo ship. The pirates are demanding $2.1 million for their release.
On Saturday, Laila, Captain Wasi’s daughter, announced that she would sell her kidneys to pay the ransom. Responding to this, an Indian living in Dubai, K B Singh, promised to pay $500,000 to help raise the ransom money, the channel reported.
Captain Wasi’s brother, Askari Hassan, said that human rights activist Ansar Burney will go to Dubai to collect the money from Singh.
Hassan said that the pirates would release Captain Wasi if they are paid $600,000 in ransom.

On Monday, Laila again appealed to the government for help for her father’s safe recovery. Captain Wasi’s wife also expressed disappointment with the lack of support from the government, saying that even foreigners have offered help, but the government remains silent.
Speaking to Express 24/7, Burney said the pirates have demanded $2.1 million in ransom.
He said the shipping company which owns the vessel, has agreed to pay $1 million, and a few Indian welfare organisations have collectively pledged $0.5 million.
Earlier this month, 16 Pakistanis and two Iranians were freed from the pirates after the Danish Navy carried out an air-raid operation to rescue the hostages.
Published in The Express Tribune, April 19th, 2011.

WTF is happening. Can any one here put this Dubai Tamasha into context.



Some Comments from Pakis:


or.. I think thats the deal behind World cup semi final! Pakistan will lose and KP Sing will take care of ransom money. Way to go Govt. of Pakistan.!!!
What exactly is keeping Pakistan Navy from responding to this situation? Why exactly are we, the taxpayers, paying for a navy if it can’t ensure the safety of our maritime assets and citizens?
Being Somali national living in Pakistan, i am really disappointed these pirates backed by US and other Western powers in an attempt to exploit our resources and that is why that many ships were deployed in Indian Ocean and Gulf of Aden, not to stop pirate activities but to loot our resources, give pirates a lifeline to pursue this wrongful act and drop tons of nuclear wastages in Somalia’ s sea space. It is a mater of fact that pirates destroy Somalia’s reputation in the world and continue to act this shameful way. We are very sorry for this mess.
May ALMIGHTY ALLAH SAFE captain WASI from these gangs funded by US and Eu countries
Is it acceptable to receive money from a non-Muslim K B Singh and pay to Muslims pirates to get released a Muslim amir-e-behar?
First of all, I want to make it clear to you people that Capt. Wasi doesn’t belong to Pakistan Navy. As most of the guy thinking that he is serving Commissioned Officer of Pakistan Navy. Well, He is Captain in Merchant Navy and was sailing for Red Sea Navigation, which is an Egyptian Company.
Second thing is that Govt. is doing nothing for the welfare of Seamen, For the people who are making big part for the economy of Pakistan. As per this case Somali Pirates are backed by US Govt and some local authorities of Somalia. I want to salute Mr.Ansar Burney who is trying his best to resolve this trauma.
