Not to be outdone by us, our birathers across the border are having a 15 hour load shedding in Karachi. Remember that flooding season has started in Pakistan. Usually it has meant hours of load shedding and millions of displaced people and lost property. No floods have meant water shortage in the March of next year.

This time though I think floods will not cause major problems since Pakistanis will use flood water to run their power generators using water kits.

The question the narrator is asking is not about Pakistan, it is about America. Is American policy effective? If the threat is growing rather than shrinking, then the answer must be no. That is a fair question and a fair answer.

The problem is that the questioning can not stop there.

The next logical question is *why* is American policy has been ineffective. When that question is asked it is impossible to ignore the role of the Pakistani military establishment.

No. The question that is being asked is about Pakistan. It is about why that tribal region of Pakistan has become a dangerous place and the answer given is that it is because of American policy. Since it does not give the complete picture i.e role of Pakistan itself in making that region dangerous, it amounts to propaganda.

Partha,

There is a reason why the interview with JI guy about the amount the US is spending on the war has such a prominent place.

American audiences - even American soliders all ask the same question - are we getting our money's worth. Are our policies working.

Vice was originally a Canadian outfit that later moved to NYC and the interview guy (Suroosh Alvi) is one of the co-founders. He's a Canadian of Pakistani descent (no Canadian Visa jokes please, too obvious

) and I think he still has some relatives in Pakistan. He can't state the real obvious without having his family being ostracized from the Pakistani community in Canada and worse, relatives in Pakistan being bull-cattled.

An interesting article, couple of quotes from it where Paki are mentioned.

Islam’s Universal Economic Failure

In Britain the myth of the hardworking Bangladeshi or Pakistani storekeeper is practically sacred. In reality 70 percent of Bangladeshis and Pakistanis live in low income households, compared to 50 percent of Africans, 30 percent of Indians and 20 percent of the natives. Bangladeshis and Pakistanis not only have dramatically higher unemployment rates than natives, but they have higher unemployment rates than Africans.
...
If the issue were racism, then their unemployment rates would be in line with far lower Indian unemployment rates. Instead Muslims have the worst economic record in the UK. Pakistani Muslims in the UK are three times more likely to be unemployed than Hindus. Indian Muslims are twice as likely to be unemployed as Indian Hindus.

Re the "100 year war" comments for the pakis. First check paki demographics, their population, and growth rates before extrapolation that far forward. Best would be to prepare with a massive fire bombing and or nutron bombing campaign (why destroy good Indus valley for the pakis) , and then get them anytime after they zoom past 300 mil or there abouts. As usual, not so politically correct.

Excerpts from the just released US State Departments “Country Reports on Terrorism 2011” dealing with the Islamic Republic of Pakistan.

The years of fomenting of Mohammadden Terrorists to target India has boomeranged and come back to haunt the Islamic Republic of Pakistan:

2011 Terrorist Incidents: Over 2500 civilians and 670 law enforcement personnel died in terrorist-related incidents, and the presence of AQ, Taliban, and indigenous militant sectarian groups continued to pose potential danger to U.S. citizens throughout Pakistan. The TTP claimed responsibility for the majority of Pakistan’s almost daily attacks that targeted civilians and security personnel, with incidents occurring in every province. These included:

• On March 9, a suicide bomber killed at least 43 and injured 52 in an attack on the funeral procession for the wife of a local tribal militia member in Peshawar.
• On May 13, two suicide bombers killed at least 90, including 17 civilians, at a Frontier Corps training center in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. The TTP claimed responsibility and called the attack retaliation for Usama bin Ladin’s death.
• On May 16, militants shot dead a Saudi diplomat in Karachi; the TTP claimed responsibility.
• On May 20, the TTP attacked a U.S. Consulate General vehicle in Peshawar, killing one person and injuring one dozen, including two U.S. Consulate General employees.
• On May 22, a gun battle with militants at Pakistan Naval Station Mehran in Karachi killed ten military personnel. The TTP claimed responsibility and again designated the attack as retaliation for bin Ladin’s death.
• On June 11, twin bomb blasts killed at least 39 and injured 88 in a supermarket near Peshawar. The TTP denied responsibility stating that foreign agencies were attempting to malign the group.
• On August 13, a U.S. citizen was kidnapped from his residence in Lahore. On December 1, AQ leader Ayman al-Zawahiri claimed to be holding the citizen and issued a list of demands in exchange for his release.
• On September 7, twin suicide attacks targeting the Deputy Inspector General (DIG) of the Frontier Corps’s residence in Quetta killed at least 26 and injured 60. The DIG’s forces were involved in the arrest of al-Mauritani. The TTP claimed responsibility.
• On September 13, TTP militants attacked a school bus in a suburb of Peshawar, killing four children and the driver.
• On September 20, Lashkar-e-Jhangvi militants in Balochistan ordered Shia pilgrims off a bus, lined them up, and opened fire on them, killing 29.

The Near East and South Asia suffered 7,721 attacks and 9,236 deaths. The majority of those occurred in just three countries—Afghanistan, Iraq and Pakistan—which, together, accounted for 85 percent of attacks in these regions and almost 64 percent of attacks worldwide. While attacks in Afghanistan and Iraq decreased from 2010 by 14 and 16 percent, respectively, attacks in Pakistan increased by 8 percent.1

• Muslim majority countries bore the greatest number of attacks involving 10 or more deaths,with Afghanistan sustaining the highest number (47), followed by Iraq (44), Pakistan (37), Somalia (28), and Nigeria (12).
• Afghans also suffered the largest number of fatalities overall with 3,245 deaths, followed by Iraqis (2,958), Pakistanis (2,038), Somalis (1,013), and Nigerians (590).

When in doubt, assume its a paki. In California, a paki-origin motormama is being sued for displaying her pakistaniyat. Muslim Hotel Owner in California Defends Herself Against Anti-Semitism Charge

a dozen Jewish plaintiffs, mostly young professionals, squared off in court against the hotel and its owner, Tehmina Adaya, over a charge that has not often surfaced in Santa Monica lately: anti-Semitism.

“No, I did not,” Ms. Adaya answered, twice, when asked whether she had used a harsh profanity in ordering her staff to clear either the hotel or its pool of Jewish party guests on July 11, 2010, at a gathering sponsored by the Friends of the Israel Defense Forces.

the central charge: that she had ordered the Jews to close their prearranged event, for fear that her family, who are Muslims, would cut off her financing.

Her defense?

“My family knows I have so many Jewish friends.”

Mr. Codrey, who had been an assistant manager, testified in words that were read by a stand-in. “If my parents find out there’s a Jewish event here, they’re going to pull money from me immediately,” he recalled Ms. Adaya saying

Born in Pakistan but raised from an early age in the United States, Ms. Adaya said she had experienced life as a minority member during her time in the Santa Monica public schools and later at a private girls’ school.

A paki asks, nay demands, restitution from India. Investment in India

There appears to be great excitement in Pakistan, particularly within the business community and financial institutions, following India’s decision to allow direct investment from Pakistan.

Before Partition...the Bombay Stock Exchange was the only institution which offered an opportunity of investing in the private sector.

But...,

But after Partition, the bank accounts and shares in Indian companies of the people who chose to stay in Pakistan were sequestrated by the government of India. These were treated as “enemy property.”

So, here's his request...er... demand:

Now that the government of India has decided to permit direct investment from Pakistan, wouldn’t it be proper to enquire what it intends to do with the assets of Pakistanis held by the custodian of enemy property in Mumbai?

Pak businessmen want legal cover their investment in India

Pakistani businessmen who intend to invest in India should be given legal cover to ensure that no future government in Delhi reverses the decision to allow investments from Pakistan, a leading trade lobby has said.

The Indian government's recent move to permit direct investments from Pakistani investors is "a big decision for which the leadership of BOTH countries deserves appreciation", the PIBC said in a statement.

Pakistan's Commerce Secretary Muneer Qureshi said last week that the two countries will have to ink a bilateral investment treaty to resolve emerging issues related to investments.

PIBC chairman Kasuri further said that President Asif Ali Zardari's proposal for setting up joint economic zones on the India-Pakistan border should be considered by India and a committee set up for working on the matter.

He proposed that the Indian government should set up special economic zones for Pakistani investors and give them concessions.

And btw, the legal term after partition was "evaquee property", not "enemy property", and what the worthless pakis left behind did not amount to 10 percent of what they looted from Hindus and Sikhs (ca. 38 bil. $s in 1947 $$). They owe big time.

Well, all these seems to be coinciding to the American suggestion to MMS that tie India and Pakistani economy together which would make any terrorist attacks in India hurt Pakistanis too, hence they would back off.
Clinton sahiba, if I may, this logic works if we have a sane opponent like you had the USSR. Pakistan and the entire Islamic world does not work by that logic.
The only logic which works is to let them feel pain of a severe injury and slow death. But I guess you already knew that!

I am afraid that "Shove it" will not be the likely course of action taken as the Congress Party led UPA administration will no doubt oblige as was done in the case of restoring the property of the ruler of Mahmudabad who fled to the Islamic Republic of Pakistan

Afghanistan backing Talliban: Rawhman

http://www.thenews.com.pk/article-62154 ... an:-Rehman

ISLAMABAD: Advisor to the Prime Minister on Interior Rehman Malik has said in an intherview to a foreign news agency that elements of the Afghan government are likely supporting a senior Pakistani Taliban leader who is fighting to topple the Islamabad government.Pakistani officials say the Taliban commander known as Fazlullah has been orchestrating raids on Pakistani security forces from Afghanistan, where he fled several years ago after a Pakistani army offensive against his stronghold in the Swat Valley.Pakistan has repeatedly called on Afghanistan to hunt down Fazlullah, whose fighters cross the border in their hundreds, set up ambushes and attack army checkpoints."If somebody is living in somebody's house and you ask him 'who is giving you food, who is giving you all this shelter?' You know he is in Afghanistan," Rehman Malik told Reuters in a weekend interview."I think some of the elements (of the Afghan government) there are supporters. Maybe state actors, maybe non-state actors."Malik provided no evidence to support his assertion that elements within Afghanistan were supporting Fazlullah, nor did he give further details."These comments made by the Pakistani Interior Minister are irresponsible and a baseless allegation," said Afghan Interior Ministry spokesman Sediq Sediqqi.

It is a Quid Pro Quo, In return US has agreed to target TTP in Pak and Afghanistan.

Pakis will use artillery to pound a few villages after it has ordered everyone to evacuate and then declare victory against the Haqqanis.

Islamic Pakistan has no need of scientists

Natalie Solent (Essex) Asian affairs • Middle East & Islamic • Science & TechnologyIt is said, probably apocryphally, that in rejecting an appeal for the great French chemist Antoine Lavoisier to be spared the guillotine, the revolutionary judge said, "The Republic has no need of scientists".The great Pakistani physicist Abdus Salam, the first Muslim to win a Nobel prize for science, has been written out of Pakistani history for being the wrong sort of Muslim, writes Rob Crilly in the Telegraph. Among the saddest aspects of this story is that when reading this I could not wholeheartedly join in with Mr Crilly's wish that Professor Salam's name should again be honoured in his homeland. While public and elite opinion in Pakistan remains such that it does not wish to claim a great nuclear physicist - and one of the architects of Pakistan's nuclear weapons programme - as its own, better for the world that Pakistan gets its wish.

'Indian TV channels too hostile to Pakistan'

Pakistan's defence establishment has demanded that the government should immediately close all illegal Indian TV channels to check "India's hostile agenda against Pakistan", according to a media report on Wednesday.The defence establishment had repeatedly conveyed its "extreme concern" to the Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority and the Information Ministry over the "onslaught of Indian propaganda", specifically programming that targets the young generation, Pakistani culture and nationalism.The defence set-up is also concerned about India's alleged "hostile agenda against Pakistan and its institutions through the illegal television channels", The News daily quoted its sources in the Information Ministry as saying. The letter further said such channels had made "deep ingress in all cities of Pakistan". The civilian authorities received one of the letters in July 2009 and another was delivered in December 2011.The authorities received a third letter of "extreme concern over this situation" early this year, the report said.The Indian entertainment channels, the letters claimed, are following a "subtle propaganda campaign", specifically targeting the young generation, culture and nationalism.A weak monitoring and implementation system in Pakistan are facilitating the alleged "hostile agenda of Indian media

That's the tune that many Indian WKKs are singing too. But, the fallacy is that 99.9999% of these attacks will only hurt India and the terrorists (i.e. ISI) would carefully avoid hitting Pakistani interests. They know that like talks, which have been made uninterrupted and uninterruptible, trade will also be and there would be no question of an angry India turning off the trade tap.

Where does it make it obligatory for him to go to visit places of pilgrimage currently located in Pukistan? Are there any obligation in the system ? Where in Guru Granth Sahib does it say one has to visit the birth place of the first Guru? Using borrowed concepts and terminology enough has been miscommunicated and messed up.
MMS has only one obligation as the PM. To take care of national interest. The ex-chief-external-spook is only advocating a visit at some other time. Any visit at any other time will be as high-profile.
The lead-in to the article is misleading. He says more diplomat-to-diplomat, politician-to-politician, policymaker-to-policymaker contacts

could lead to a gradual change of the present strategic mindset in the policy-making circles in Pakistan, which is based on feelings of insecurity arising from the war of 1971, suspicions and hostility.

Brad Goodman wrote:PM must avoid visiting Pakistan in November

I am perplexed by that inexplicable article. Why does B.Raman advocate a visit by our PM to meet a lame duck Pakistani civilian government which is in the throes of a deep and disastrous internal conflict with the judiciary, the army and the people of the country themselves ? Of what good will it be when there is nothing at all that warrants such a visit ? Why do many Indian analysts want to throw a lifeline to a floundering PPP government which is on its very last half-a-leg ? Very soon, there is going to be a caretaker interim government ahead of the elections. Even at the best of times, a civilian Pakistani government can proceed very little with matters relating to India unless the jihadists (and by extension, the PA) approve it. And, what can a government, which is most unpopular, and which is on the way out do ?

This prescription of 'personal contacts' that would somehow help change the 'insecurity' of Pakistanis is a fallacy of the very first order. Let s be clear that this insecurity is a figment of delusionally feverish Pakistani imagination. This was fabricated by the Army to sustain itself, divert people's attention from the inability of the momin PA to challenge the kafir IA, and to enjoy the benefits that accrue from it. This is *not* going to change unless the PA is destroyed. The feeling of insecurity goes back to pre-Partition days. The Yamuna-Ganges belt Muslims felt insecure vis-a-vis majority rule and they demanded Pakistan, the West Pakistanis felt insecure against the majority East Pkistanis and so they launched a pogrom of genocide, the West pakistanis felt insecure against the Afghans and so they created chaos there, the Pakistanis have been permanently insecure against Hindu India and so they started wars, launched terror attacks, demanded that India does not become economically & militarily strong and that India must not get UNSC permanent seat, created the Taliban to gain strategic depth and generally brought the world to grave danger etc. Is there a limit to their paranoid and unending insecurity ?

Is India obliged to straighten the crooked tail of a wicked and rabid dog (no insult to dog) ?

Of Heroes . . . - Op Ed in DT

I have found few with as perennial and angelic a smile as Liaquat Ali Khan’s. He would paint for us such alluring pictures of Pakistan as the land of opportunity. The Ganga-Jamni, Urdu speaking, educated young men would be the ones to gain most in Pakistan. “Today you’re the sons and wards of Indian Muslims among the builders of Pakistan, tomorrow you’d be its leaders.” Words to that effect.
