WASHINGTON: Pakistan's foreign secretary Salman Bashir arrived here on Thursday for talks to salvage ties with the United States a day after the top American general virtually called the country a terrorist sponsor and provoked a strong rebuff from Army chief Pervez Kayani.
The verbal flare-up between the militaries of the two sides, which followed numerous civilian spats, is weighing down a visit that was meant to focus on what Pakistan's ambassador in Washington termed ''strategic convergences.'' Instead, Bashir and his counterparts in the state department are having to stop the two sides from diverging completely after two testy engagements that undermined a fraying alliance.

I am disapointed to read this deliberately made one sided story to make reader think that pakistan is a nothing but a beggeging country. My all indian friends this war costing Pakistani businesses more than 150 billion a year. Amarica paying paying for its own interests. Its plans 100 years ahead. They need to make this area stable for future wealth. Any way Where is the money which america claims been paid to Pak. Europe is together and no borders. Afsos wall between Pak India would never fall like berlin wall.

When he says TSPA is debating Farhat Taj, he's talking about the back and forth between Ejaz Haider and Farhat Taj on the op-ed pages of sethi's rag.Pakistan army has been debating Farhat Taj, a columnist of Daily Times doing a PhD at the University of Oslo and currently writing a book, Taliban and Anti-Taliban, over its claim that the drones were unpopular with the people of the Tribal Areas and that Ms Taj’s claim that, instead of fighting the Taliban and defending the local population in the Tribal Areas, the army was actually siding with the Taliban. Taj who claims to have done field work in the areas affected by the drones and where the local tribes are willing to fight the Taliban, has published her latest piece on how the army is actually supporting the Taliban and helping them to take over the tribal agencies in ( Daily Times 16 April 2011).
This makes it clear that Imran Khan has been "chosen" by the TSPA.The latest blunder committed was the entrapment of Raymond Davis without a think-through on how the incident would be made to conclude. The next challenge the Pakistan army will bring on itself is the blocking of the NATO supplies. How will the burning of NATO trucks conclude? That is the question that the army should answer now before Imran Khan and the religious fanatics start torching them.

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.

NEW DELHI: A day after Pakistan's commerce secretary Zafar Mehmood claimed India had offered to sell electricity to help Islamabad tide over nationwide shortage, power ministry officials on Thursday said they had no idea of such an offer
Brief Synopsis
A discussion of the foundation of Lashkar-i-Taiba (LeT), the development of its modus operandi, and engages in an investigation of LeT’s activities in India, Pakistan, and the Kashmir region are discussed. Further, LeT’s fundraising methods are touched upon, and LeT’s relationships with regional state and nonstate actors such as Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) and Dawood Ibrahim’s D-Company are analyzed. Also, the impact that these developments have on domestic Islamist terrorism in India are addressed. The author argues that although LeT has been a vital component of Islamabad’s regional strategy in the past, the organization has grown beyond the control of its former patron, is largely self-sufficient and operates independently of the political process, and has expanded its agenda well beyond Kashmir. These developments challenge the long-held notion that irregulars can be sustainably used to achieve limited objectives in an asymmetric conflict and should serve as a clear warning to other state sponsors of terrorism. However, contrary to many analyses, LeT is not likely to sacrifice its independence and come under Al-Qaeda’s umbrella. Rather, LeT will continue to evolve into a distinctive, South Asia-centric terrorist actor in its own right while still receiving aid from fringe elements in Pakistan’s security and intelligence apparatus and elsewhere. This will not only allow LeT to continue to plan future Mumbai-style terrorist attacks in India from safe havens in Pakistan, but will also allow LeT to guide and assist the predominantly indigenous Indian Mujahideen (IM).

Well, it comes to the same thing:http://www.dailyindia.com/show/435920.phpNew 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.

ol. Dean Bushey, deputy director of the Army’s Joint Unmanned Aircraft Systems Center of Excellence, told an international-relations conference Wednesday that U.S. Reaper and Predator aircraft could still reach the “mountainous regions” of Pakistan without being based in that country.
Douglas Barrie, a senior fellow for military aerospace at the IISS, said in an interview, that “If the question is ‘Would losing basing in Pakistan cripple operations against al Qaeda?’ the answer is ‘no.’ It would, however, increase the demand on unmanned vehicles. You would likely need more unmanned aerial vehicles to sustain the same number of orbits because of having to transit further distances.”

…………… Editor-in-Chief The Nation Majid Nizami said Iqbal not only presented the idea of Two-Nation Theory but also convinced the Quaid-i-Azam to materialise this concept. He said the Pakistan resolution was adopted in 1940 on the basis of Iqbal’s Two-Nation Theory.
He said Hindu Banya did not accept Pakistan by heart and conspired to dismember it in 1971 by converting East Pakistan into Bangladesh. He said India was now targeting Pakistan in connivance with the US and Israel.
He said Pakistan was the only Islamic power with atom bomb, and it was our duty to beak the hands of India. Nizami said India was planning to build hydel projects on the Kashmir rivers to sell electricity to Pakistan and “our secretary trade has shamefully said Pakistan will consider the offer.” “We curse on electricity coming from India”, he averred.
He said Pakistan’s nuclear missiles were superior to those possessed by India. “Our missiles are like horses (In the words of the Holy Quran) and their’s are like donkeys.” ………………….
