^^^ Wow that's a gathering of the top terrorists in the world how in the world Unkil missed firing a drone on that jirga?
Although there weren’t any specific details in the statement, but it was widely interpreted as a signal from the army to Taliban that it was finally ready to take them on
the 'good bunnies' pls stay away from areas to be designated..
A major drama is about to be enacted with multiple objectives...satisfy one or two Paki liberals, + Unkil that TSPA is against T and also use that to inflate the bill even more and beg more $$$$ from unkil for the sacrifices made..
He (an unidentified army 'top' general), however, noted that a political decision would be required before initiating the operation.
BTW WTF is this General Khalid Shameem Wynne? Did his father issue canadian visa to a gora wimman?
Guess who is issuing medical reports? DG of ISPR...so the TSPA has hijacked the entire episode for a PR exercise..
1. The only person to visit her at hospital was the terrorist jehadi General Kayani
2. Flown to military hospital, not a civilian one...
3. And now medical bulletins coming from DG ISPR, not 10% or his team
What sort of f*cked up country is this? Is the entire cabinet full of eunuchs?
TSP to get $500m EVERY MONTH (yes that is five hundred million american daalers) just by increasing phone charge! Budget deficit problem licked ...no more begging with Unkil..
Badar said the new tax would curtail grey trafficking in the telecom sector and would also bring in revenue of 500 million dollars each month.

Tough question but easily answerable. In a land of the absurds, it doesn't get er..."absurder" than this. Time to celebrate Youm-e-Dua (day of prayers) for malala.
Hey, it's in the same spirit of the other "youm-e-ishk-e-rasool something-something" celebrated with gusto not too long ago when the common abdul and little abduls went on a nationwide rampage of everything that moved or looked expensive. Besides, everyone in (ma)lalaland has to show how much they love malala, right? So much so that their rental PM hjust announced that he will enquire (about) Malala’s health today. Thanks for the warning.
Nutty land with nuttier people. That's how f*cked up this quam is.
Responsibility for Pakistan’s destiny extends beyond its borders....There is sufficient coordination between the governments of Saudi Arabia and Pakistan whereby this domestic implication of Saudi largesse needs addressing
fat chance...of Saudi barbaria run by viler animals supporting any good cause...the cheque to Taliban and congrats messages are probably enroute already...
Ali Zafar is all set to make sure his foot in Bollywood is set for good. He will be pairing up with Yami Gautam for a romantic film which is tentatively titled as Aman Ki Asha . The story is said to revolve around one of the most loved topics when it comes to love stories, a cross border romance between a Pakistani boy and an Indian girl.
Faced with an energy crisis of crippling dimensions, Pakistan has rolled out a new strategy to curb consumption: telling civil servants to dress appropriately for the weather.
Government officials are being directed to wrap up warm in winter and keep cool in summer in loose fitting shalwar kamis to save on heating and air conditioning bills, water and power ministry official Tanvir Alam told AFP.
In few days it will be only kameez no need for salwars.
Just in case you guys were wrongly blaming the purest of pure for killing her, here is the clarification..
We had no intentions to kill her but were forced when she would not stop (speaking against us)
...after all Shariah has to be followed, no choice onlee..
They decided to shoot her near a military checkpoint to make the point they could strike anywhere, he said.
it is also good spot to get logistical assistance from the terrorist-est terrorists of all..
“We have a clear-cut stance. Anyone who takes side with the government against us will have to die at our hands,” Ahmad warned. “You will see. Other important people will soon become victims.”
...keep the beer cold in the fridge and popcorn on standby..
ISLAMABAD: Pakistan’s Interior Minister Rehman Malik on Friday said that the government is seriously considering a military operation in the tribal badlands of North Waziristan, DawnNews reported.
Things could get very interesting soon.

They have been considering this for the past 3 years. No way they will attack in winter. It will generate 3 million internal refugees who will freeze to death in tents.

That reminds me. Pakis never cease to amaze me! Turns out one Pakistani motorma who fancies herself as a "Book critic based out of Pakistan and India" I became acquaintances with, is the cousin of Saif Ali Khan! What is more mind boggling is that implies she is related to the TFTA (possibly daughter) who was in the running for ISI chief!
This just goes to reinforce Hakeem's theory in the internet era. The typical SDRE you get acquainted with is from a middle class family who went to college and has a computer at home. Typical TFTA owns 15,000 acres has 2 brothers working in the media and a sister who is a fashion designer and whose father is a Jernail. So everyone thinks TFTAs much better than SDREs and "Pakistan's economy doing much better than India".
Except the typical Pakistani is living in a tent in swat and you dont meet them because they are getting shot in the head for daring to read a book (no, not that book, other books)
Indian visa is free of charge.. Pakis don't have to bring any guns, bullets, grenades or suicide vests. They will be supplied free of charge after crossing the border. Provided they agree to blame any death on Sangh parivar and not ask for air-conditioned jails. Briyani can be supplied, just apply to Digvijaya Singh.
This guy is a real joker...should beat Nagesh, Vadivelu or any other comedian effortlessly.
Malik claimed that they were receiving intelligence reports from North Waziristan on daily basis. Adding that he said that they had reports which said there were terrorist hideouts in the area.

I thought the fee was set to Rs. 60,000 for every Jihadi going to India (from the article about JeI).
Shirin Tahir-Kheli: Pakistan Is Everybody’s Problem

In the wake of the shocking shooting of Malala Yousafzai, the entire world must take responsibility for ending the Taliban’s war against women—particularly the Taliban’s backers.
Entire world must take responsibility of cleaning up mess created by Pakistan but no one should violate its sovirginity.

After major became a non state actor (i.e retired) teetar is majorly boring.

But I am worried Pakis "Saleem Shahzaaded" him. He was causing major taqleef and puncturing every bubble and talking points of Pakis of all hues including those fake liberals.

A journalist tweeted yesterday “Why Malala and why NOW?”
And it speaks volumes. The innocent girl became a victim of some people’s evil desires; desire to rule the world, a desire to dictate one’s own terms and conditions and a desire to create chaos. The horrific incident of shooting Malala and other two girls is barbaric to the core.
A million dollar question certainly is that who is Ahsanullah Ahsan and why on earth his calls are never tracked. Why does he take blame on himself (i.e. TTP) whatever the incident is and always manages to call international media but no one bothers to trace out who is he in reality.
But before that we need to focus on ‘Why Malala’ question? The innocent brave girl was made an icon against Taliban by all those who sit in their drawing rooms commenting on social media and TV channels while remaining within their comfort zones. Her stories were recorded by BBC Urdu and published as a diary. She was purposely brought to limelight to make her a symbol. The role of media in bringing Malala to limelight and promoting her out of proportion was surprising. Poor girl was used for media ratings. To serve the vested interests, they put the life of innocent girl at risk. She became a target for the terrorists. Even now, media is surely serving someone else’s purpose by giving the issue a lot of twists and turns.
‘Why Now’? The timing is also very crucial. Exactly when the entire world was getting breaking news about drone attacks and questioning the legitimacy of such attacks, suddenly Malala was attacked, she was identified first and then targeted and all of a sudden all the pro US policies, pseudoliberals started talking about Waziristan operation and legitimising illegal drone strikes.
An important thing to note is that the leader of Swat Taliban, Mullah Fazlullah reportedly hides in Afghanistan and operates with the cooperation of US/Afghan forces; so if Taliban of Swat are responsible for this attack, they are operating from Afghanistan and not Waziristan. Why there is never a drone strike across the border, not that I am demanding it, but it’s logical that US definitely has a dubious agenda in the region.
The case looks quite simple; another event in Swat to make grounds for another military operation. Previously it was a fake video, and now the ‘tool’ was an innocent 14 year old girl. The quick and strong condemnation from USA (by President Obama and Hillary Clinton) gives a message in itself. Drone attacks would be portrayed as essential, by citing that government of Pakistan is unable to protect its own citizens from terrorist activities.
The role of government is deplorable. Governments are supposed to protect their citizens, in which our government has terribly failed. Blaming terrorists and arranging air ambulance is not the solution. Government should take complete responsibility of protecting its citizens.
Malala is an asset for the nation. Whether its Malala, Aafia Siddiqui, missing persons, drone attacks , suicide bombs, target killings in Karachi and elsewhere, Pakistanis are at the suffering end.
Dr Shahid Masood quite reasonably asked the people who pick and choose cases for condemnation, if those who are killed in drone attacks are not plastic toys. We are being killed for no reason. The only way out is to get out of this American war. We must not put more and more lives at risk.
In the ongoing operation against foreign and local militants in Waziristan, the Pakistan military has suffered a tragic loss. It is doubly tragic because it has gone unreported and unremarked in the media. Last month, a helicopter gunship of the Pak military made its way to targets in Waziristan and received the coordinates for its strike just before arriving at the target. This is Standard Operating Procedure, coordinates are given out at the nth hour to preserve secrecy and security. As the pilot came into view of his target, he radioed back that there appeared to be a mistake in identifying the target. "There's a mosque, madrassah, women and children here" the pilot radioed back, as he hovered over the area. He then turned in an arch to fly out of the area. Just as he was being radioed back a message that this indeed was the target, a group of bearded men emerged from within the mosque and from behind the human shields of the assembled women and children, and shot Rocket Propelled Grenades at the heli and brought it down. The pilot and his co-pilot were both killed.
Also, the assessment appears to be that the outrage has created an atmosphere conducive to military operations in North Waziristan — similar to the mood that prevailed in the country in 2009 when the Army took on the Taliban that had taken control of Swat valley {after the flogging of another young Swati girl for being in the house when the electrician arrived to fix some issues}.

The two Governments are in talks to remove all hurdles to enable operators to offer roaming services according to senior functionaries in the Ministry of Commerce. The Department of Telecom is backing the proposal but the Home Ministry is yet to give clearance on the Indian side.
Roaming services between the two countries have been banned since 2004 after Indian security agencies raised concerns around misuse by anti-social elements. While terrorism was one of the biggest issues, Indian agencies also raised cricket betting as another reason to ban roaming.
But now technology allows security agencies to better monitor mobile users. “Monitoring agencies will be able to track specific users if the need arises better if the user is on a mobile network,” said Rajan Mathews, Director General, Cellular Operators Association of India.
If roaming is allowed, the two countries will have to put in place a mechanism to share subscriber information for security purposes.
For example, Indian security agencies have repeatedly curbed services in Jammu and Kashmir and the North East whenever there is trouble. They can do so because the services in J&K are being controlled by Indian operators. The concern is that if roaming services are permitted, Pakistani elements can sneak mobile connections into Indian territory.
