Oh yes, you are right. But, now Pakistan is threatening the very nation that allowed it to acquire the nukes and their delivery systems. That is a kind of gratifying.

I was glad that I was wrong about Porkistan attending the Bonn Conference. Porkistan is growing to be twice the IqBal it was! Apparantly karzai turned down the offer of having the Porki Ambassador attending the Conference.
Looks like after the 24 meeting their wotever, there maybe a bit of hesitation from both sides of the border to be overt, as the Porkis were before to create trouble on the Afghan side of the border.
The Paki tactics will be to delay whatever normalisation that the Yanquis were hoping for. After all, 2014 is not too far away.
Now the ball is in the Yanqui court. Will they go about it as business as usual? Will they cross the border as freely as they have done before? 23rd December is still three weeks away. And the winter tends to slow down activities there.
Interesting scenario to guage whether the Yanquis have learnt any lessons.

There is a sudden overt outpouring of support from US Consuls inside Pakistan towards Balochis who have been killed and dumped by the ISI. Some Balochis have been termed Hero's by the Consul General's on behalf of US Government.
Clearly the new policy has trickled across all branches of US.It has changed from "appeasement" to that of "provoke and confront".

US govt must take action against Mansoor Ijaz: Malik
I never stop getting amazed by the cheek of these people. They don't mind sounding like shameless idiots and beggars. Always trying to get something from someone. And the best part is the Yanquis have been fooled by this lot for decades w/o catching on!ISLAMABAD: Minister for Interior Rehman Malik Monday said that the United States government must take action against Mansoor Ijaz for violating US laws and issuing false statements against the armed forces and against Pakistan’s leadership.
Regarding Ijaz’s statements of the country’s leadership and Haqqani’s knowledge of the Abbottabad operation, Malik said the US had itself admitted that the Pakistani government and Haqqani were not aware of the operation so the US must take action against Ijaz for giving false statements.
“Pakistan has always been asked to do more but it is time for the US to take action against the person who is violating its laws by misguiding the international community ,” Malik told media representatives after a meeting at the Interior Ministry on the law and order situation during Muharram.

2. Say that you found out about it but did not respond
3. Say that it is not possible to respond against the US
4. Say that you knew all along and your silence was part of the game to get bin Laden.

Pakis have not totally realized that US has changed its policy towards Pakistan. They still think it is a game. So , unless US is fooling everyone including India, Pakis are playing it wrong. The only option Pakis have is to defend.

A: Bad for echandee. Quadri would not be impressed with the PA chiefs answer to that.

A: Bad for echandee, Quadri will take the nearest AK and head for GHQ if that is the answer.
4. Say that you knew all along and your silence was part of the game to get bin Laden.
A: Bad for echandee..multi Quadri's will jump on their AK's and head for GHQ..being with the Kufr and going for the Purest is sure to enrage the faithfools.

So i would go with A and seethe inside. Let the Haqqani's loose on some US assets to vent out..

Re: Terrorist Islamic Republic of Pakistan (TSP): 31 Oct 201
Rajan Ji, didn't the PA admit not knowing anything about that. US wouldn't risk telling any Paki about the operation. Remember the Paki radars on the Western side were down for maintenance that night. Wouldn't be surprised if the Americans deep fried some electronics to avoid detection prior the operation.
Re: Terrorist Islamic Republic of Pakistan (TSP): 31 Oct 201
Aditya ji: In all the commotion created by the paki after a couple of dozen of its jihadi cannon fodder were burnt for heat and light to illuminate the paki's self gratifying activities in the dark, with the paki blustering about cutting off overland access to Afghanistan by NATO/US, an interesting alternative is overlooked. A cursory atlas check shows that overland access as well as via air corridors to Afghanistan can be provided through India ( Ladakh) and China ( Tibet /Xingsiang). This would require China to play a construtive role in the situation in Afghanistan, which in turn will:(a) put some constrain, apply brakes on the runaway madness of the paki, (b) put the US in a position of dependence towards the Chinese, which, considering their complex and mutually dependant economic relationship, will be a much more of a stable situation than depending on the paki or Russia for NATO/US and (c) enhance the constructive level of the Chinese relationship with India. All in all, it is a far better situation for China than to be lying in the gutter with the paki.Aditya_V wrote:Wont all these problems for the West regarding distribution of supply, access to CAR etc. for the West be solved if Balushistan moves to its natuaral state where it is a separate republic.

The Porkis got confused. But if they had their wits about them and blithely (as they have been doing for decades) lied and said "We Knew" Add a twist to that: the agreement with the Yanquis was that OBL would be taken alive and we are upset that he was killed.
This would have put the Yfronts in a massive twist and as for mango abduls could, they could have been handled. Knowing that the terror groups are nothing but an extension of the ISI, they could have been handled too.

There aren't really any sections of the Paki society who would be angry that the army did not co-operate with the americans. So from a domestic POV, it makes perfect sense to deny and express outrage that the Americans muscled in and killed the Sheikh. It's not exactly an echandee saving position but there isn't such an option available anyway. Short term people would be angry that the Army didn't protect him, but that's preferable to being seen as ones who sold him out.
As for the Americans, it's a transactional relationship anyway. So in any other case, this would have been seen as a grin and GUBO situation. But Pakis have pulled this act one too many times for even the ever patient unkil to let them off the hook easily. Also there aren't a lot of sacrificial pawns left anyway. It'll be pretty painful from here on. Kayani doesn't have a lot of room to manouver right now. He must be under tremendous pressure within the Army.

Re: Terrorist Islamic Republic of Pakistan (TSP): 31 Oct 201
I think TSP pulled out of the conference because they are not interested in its agenda. The conference is really about the drawdown of the western forces from AFG. For the westerners and AFGs that means bolstering the sovereignty of AFG, mainly its forces and govt. Which also means they have to establish some sort of social coherence amongst the various peoples in AFG. Something that makes Kabul meaningful to the non-pashtuns.RCase wrote:Trying this again ...
I would appreciate if someone can explain why is a big deal made out of Pakis not attending Bonn? Wouldn't it be advantageous to the world if the Pakis were kept out of the meeting as they are the problem?
Thnx
TSP does not want to contribute to this agenda since they are in fact opposed to it. TSP’s one point agenda is to make AFG their vassal. Which means not let AFG develop internal coherence. In Taliban they have a socially divisive and yet powerful agent, that will keep Afghanistan weak, and hence not independent of TSP.
In other words, there is a possible way out for AFG, but it can only work if TSP DOES NOT play the spoiler. In this conf everybody’s plan would have involved TSP not be a spoiler. And these are NOT the ideas TSP is interested in. The ideas that TSP is interested in, the AFG’s are not interested in, and others cannot openly agree to. TSP itself has NO constructive ideas for AFG that is agreeable to all. Net it would have been a bad conference for TSP to attend, since this would only end up restating the problem – which is TSP. As they say, ‘end up proving the case for prosecution’.
Re: Terrorist Islamic Republic of Pakistan (TSP): 31 Oct 201
^^^ I agree with you.
If the Yanquis play their cards right, even if Porkis haven't attended the conference I have the following thoughts:
a) Memogate has stirred the divide between PA and the Porki Govt. So who can be trusted at the conference? The Ambassador, who according to reports was not invited, at the insistence of Karzai.
b) if the Porkis had attended, they would have had to listen to diplomatese, but an underlying message of countries joining into a group, which would have been a panic situ. How would they have responded? (in panic situs they normally down hill ski.)
c) But their absence can be seen as a boon. Because the same group of countries can discuss the issue more aggresively.And the Porkis will not be their to come up with trumped up excuses, their evil charm. (Ofcourse, if their chini biraders are there some of it may leak to the Porkis)
d) The timeline of the drawdown of ISAF troops is going to be kept. But the intervening period to 2014 is going to be ramped up to really make it hot for the porkis.
e) And cross border hellphyre is going to continue.

The best solution from US Gulf to Bagram would be as follows :
US Gulf – Mundra : By Sea
Mundra – Ambala : By Broad Gauge Rail
Ambala – Bagram : By C 130 Hercules
Please note that the Distance from Suez to Mumbai is 2,959 Nautical Miles whereas the Distance from Suez to Mundra will be about 2,850 Nautical Miles.
"Again Mundra to Ambala should be about 150 to 200 Miles less than Mumbai to Mundra."
The Port of Mubai or even Jawahar Lal Nehru Port might entail “Berthing Delays”. Mundra, however, has two Container Terminals with Two Beths each and there is hardly any delay as I am not aware of Mudra handling Four Container Vessels at the same time. In addition Mundra has a “Roll On – Roll Off” Terminal.

US forces logistics work in more complicated ways that that. they operate airlift out of the central US, but the bulk of goods and equipment are shipped by sea first. they have major logistics nodes in germany and the gulf - bahrain/doha - which will be major depots. they have a very highly developed logistics capability that rival the DHL's and Fedex's of the world - they understand their costs and requirements very very well and their logistics commanders are highly trained.
for bulk shipping to indian ports they are just as likely to use the pacific route as to come via europe and suez

Re: Terrorist Islamic Republic of Pakistan (TSP): 31 Oct 201
If the US appears to be a deer that is both, frozen in the headlights, and also has a thumb/hoof up its musharraf, when dealing with Pakisatanis, then idiots like Brzezinski can take most of the blame:
Our Frenemy Pakistan -- Former national-security advisers counsel patience with our wayward ally
Our Frenemy Pakistan -- Former national-security advisers counsel patience with our wayward ally
These country-club idiots are so far removed from the Dover KIA processing center, and from the freshly dug graves at Arlington and at cemeteries all around the US, in which lay buried freshly dead young Americans, all because of the Pakis....former national-security advisers counsel patience with Pakistan, mostly because the U.S. has no other choice.
To understand Pakistan’s double-dealing, Zbigniew Brzezinski, national-security adviser to Pres. Jimmy Carter, says to look to Pakistan’s southern neighbor: India. Ever since Pakistan declared independence in 1947, it has considered its much larger rival an existential threat. And though the U.S. considers Indian assistance to Afghanistan a welcome boon, Pakistan considers it encirclement by the enemy. “The Pakistani perspective is, without controlling Afghanistan, they are vulnerable to India,” he explains. “Their basic interest is in having a situation in which Afghanistan is responsive to Pakistan’s security interest.”
Moreover, Pakistan is distrustful of the U.S., Brzezinski argues, because “we are inclined to reach agreements with India which greatly enhance India’s nuclear capabilities” as a way to counter China. “Sometimes, in a difficult situation, you have to prioritize what you do,” he adds. And the U.S. has never made that choice: What is its priority? Building Afghanistan or confronting China?
Brent Scowcroft, national-security adviser to George H. W. Bush, agrees. “We’ve done some pretty egregious things in the past,” he says. “We sold Pakistan some F-16s and then we cut off military aid to both Paksitan and India and would not deliver the F-16s — nor did we give back the money to them.”
Meanwhile, Bud McFarlane, national-security adviser to Reagan from 1983 to 1985, suggests we remind Pakistan that it needs us as much as we need it. ... because of its conflict with India, particularly over the Kashmir region, 70 percent of its budget goes to military spending and debt service. If the U.S. helped Pakistan “relieve those problems . . . [it] could allow Pakistanis to generate enough disposable income to lift themselves out of poverty, build better roads,” etc.
To foster greater cooperation, Scowcroft adds, the U.S. should do more “to give Pakistanis a sense of confidence” in us, such as by providing trade assistance. “Textiles, for example, are a huge Pakistani export, and we have very high tariffs on those textiles,” he says. “We have to be the more mature party in this, because the Pakistanis are in a difficult region.”

Precisely! That is why I am having a hard time understanding why the West is begging TSP to attend and TSP is refusing to attend as a result of wounded HSR&D (self-respect got tacked on recently). I would have expected exactly the opposite. Even if they 'agreed' to any terms, TSP has had a history of not abiding by those terms and will continue to play spoiler to further its own proxies and agenda.
