Re: Sunni Terrorist Fragments of Unstable Pakistan - 10 Oct
It is like debating with a donkey. You can't win. You can make any reasoned and logical argument, provide substantiation and evidence to back it up but the donkey remains unconvinced, braying the same thing in the morning, and the same thing many hours later at night, though you debated with it all day.Anujan wrote: If you ask the SDREs on why arms supply to Pakistan should be cut off, each SDRE will make a long logical argument, using different words, different ideas, different set of logical arguments. While they'll all be well argued, it is all very tiring to follow each of them, remember the argument and be convinced by them. If you ask a typical Pakistani abdul on why Pakistan is training and sending terrorists everywhere, he/she will reply with a straight face "Pakistan itself is a victim of terrorism". In some ways, we are victims of our own intelligence. We tend to pack arguments with nuance. A typical pakistani with IQ in the low 90's will parrot the same set of words. If you observe closely, "Pakistan itself victim of terrorism" has permeated even the discourse in the west. Even Motorma fair, sane people like Lisa Curtis, Panetta, Kerry and so on manage to squeeze it in. "Pakistan itself is a victim of terrorism...."

Iranian border guards fire mortar shells inside Pakistani territory - DAWN
Iranian border guards on Saturday fired three mortar shells in Mashkail, Pakistan's bordering town with Iran, officials said.
A security official who requested anonymity told Dawn that mortar shells fired by Iranian guards landed in deserted areas close to the sparsely populated Balochistan's Mashkail town.
"The mortar shell attack caused panic among the people," the official said, adding that Frontier Corps (FC) and Levies personnel reached the spot and security was tightened around the border.
No casualty was reported in the attack, the official added.
Today's shelling came hours after a junior officer of the FC was killed in an attack by Iranian border forces in Mand area of Balochistan's Kech district. Four FC personnel were injured.
Moreover, the Balochistan government demanded that the centre take up the issue of continued border violations by Iranian border guards with the Iranian foreign office.
Jan Muhammad Buledi, spokesman for the Balochistan government, stated that Iran had been violating Pakistani territory and attacking civilians for the past three days. Buledi has demanded Islamabad to take up this issue with the Iranian foreign office and lodge a formal protest in this regard.
Earlier on Friday, the Iranian border guards had stormed inside the Mand area of Balochistan and had attacked a vehicle of Frontier Corps, killing one soldier and injuring three others.
Khan Wasay, a spokesman for FC troops in Balochistan, told Dawn that at least 30 Iranian border guards had entered into Pakistan's bordering town of Nokundi and made the residents hostage for six hours.
"We have sent a formal letter to Islamabad regarding Iranian intervention and violation," Akbar Hussain Durrani, Secretary Home and Tribal Affairs Department Balochistan told Dawn.
Durrani said the provincial government had taken up the matter seriously and urged the capital to raise this issue with Tehran.

Re: Sunni Terrorist Fragments of Unstable Pakistan - 10 Oct
A_GuptaJi,
Question though is how decapitating it is to TSP by destroying a camp with all the logistic capabilities you listed?
One thing that can make a significant dent. A few days back we were talking about US help in taking on TSP. One thing is crippling sanctions. If not that, then does US not have the drone technology and other capabilities to say knock out the entire Murdike headquarters of the pigLeTs? In fact, given how many "bad terrorists" US has eliminated through HumInt and drones, I would think US can take out Murdike one fine morning when Hafeez pig is in there preaching to the faithful. That would deal a significant blow to TSP.

Re: Sunni Terrorist Fragments of Unstable Pakistan - 10 Oct
CRamS, let us just say that any small action taken by India is far more significant than action taken by the US.
Secondly, from Mahatma Gandhi saying - let's decide whether there should be Pakistan after the British leave, to the Simla Agreement to the current day Modi policies, the Indian effort has been to reduce the Pakistan problem to a two-body problem, i.e., Congress v. Muslim League with no British, or India-Pakistan with no UN, etc., etc. No need to wish counter to that and make it a three-body problem again.

CheersKARACHI: Pakistanis, especially Karachiites, fear a serious outbreak of Ebola virus as the government-run hospitals lack funds, manpower, training and technical resources to follow the guidelines, as it is apprehended that Karachi being the port city of the country might be the first target of the dreaded virus.
World Health Organization (WHO) has already warned that Ebola virus might spread to Pakistan sooner or later.
WHO Representative in Pakistan Dr Michel Thieren says that since Ebola virus was spreading faster across the world, Pakistan was also at a high risk of it. He suggested Pakistan government to take speedy precautionary measures and steps against the deadly disease.

Karzai was hailed for his effort to steer Afghanistan on the path of peace, prosperity and stability and ensuring a historic and peaceful political transition.“The way Mr Karzai had successfully steered Afghanistan on the path of peace, prosperity and stability during a very difficult period, would never be forgotten,” Modi told Karzai in a telephone conversation. Karzai said that he deeply cherishes his long association with India and observed that no other country in the world had done as much for Afghanistan as India had despite constraints of resources.The Indian prime minister has previously spoken to Afghan President Asraf Ghani and Chief Executive Officer Dr Abdullah Abdullah.

A copy of official documents seen by Daily Times disclosed that the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Resources on October 2 revealed to the federal cabinet’s ECC that Iran has unilaterally ended government-to-government cooperation agreement with Pakistan and is not even prepared to offer $500 million for the construction of the long-awaited IP gas pipeline project. With this decision the IP gas pipeline project, in its present form, has become not feasible.

US media acted as if Pakistan had no role in setting up the Taliban Afghanistan and was still a CENTO ally. Bush allowed the Kunduz Airlift. Republicans members of Congress praised the Pakistan to the heavens while trashing India.
In fact, in 1994 the Wall Street Journal had cheered the rise of the Taliban.

Pakistan Demands Answers After Officer Is Killed on Iran Border
By SALMAN MASOOD
OCTOBER 18, 2014
ISLAMABAD, Pakistan — The Pakistan government summoned the Iranian ambassador Saturday to protest the killing of a Pakistani security official by Iranian border guards, an official said.
“The Iranian ambassador was summoned, a protest was lodged and an investigation was demanded into the killing of our security official,” Tasnim Aslam, the spokeswoman for the Pakistani ministry of foreign affairs, said in an interview on Saturday.
A Pakistani paramilitary officer was killed and four soldiers were wounded after their vehicle came under fire from Iranian border guards in Kech district of Baluchistan, the southwestern Pakistani province that borders Iran, according to Pakistani officials. Dozens of Iranian border guards also raided a village in Chagai, another district of Baluchistan.
Tensions have been growing between the neighboring countries after recent allegations by Iranian officials that Sunni militants based in Baluchistan have been mounting strikes against bases and border posts inside Iranian territory.
Pakistani officials have dismissed the allegations and have asked for evidence from Iran.
“If Iran has evidence that elements from Pakistan are involved in activities against Iran, they should share it with us,” Ms. Aslam said Friday during a weekly press briefing. “Our information is that these incidents took place inside Iranian territory by Iranians and that is corroborated by their own accounts. It is not helpful to externalize problems,” Ms. Aslam said.
On Saturday, the situation at the border remained volatile. Provincial officials in Pakistan said Iranian soldiers launched five mortar shells at a Pakistani security post in the Mashkel area of Baluchistan. No casualties were reported.
The border problems with Iran come as Pakistan is also facing growing tensions with India on its eastern border. In recent weeks both countries have accused each other of initiating shooting and mortar attacks along the disputed border of Kashmir. At least 17 people have died and dozens have been wounded this month as Pakistani and Indian forces traded fire on both sides of the Kashmir frontier.
On Saturday, the Pakistani army chief, Gen. Raheel Sharif, speaking during a parade of army cadets in the northern town of Abbottabad, vowed to defend the country against external aggression, although he did not specifically name any countries.
“Sentiments of good will and amity notwithstanding, let there be no doubt that any aggression against our beloved country will get a befitting response and no sacrifice will be too great in this sacred cause,” Gen. Sharif said. “We desire regional stability and relationship based on equality and mutual respect.”

1. Stephen Cohen, (not the smart one who talks about Ukraine, but the 'South Asia Expert' aka Uneven). He used to proclaim on his Brookings website that his greatest claim to fame was that he persuaded the GOTUS to go with Musharraf.
2. NSA Rice: a political appointee climber with lousy qualifications, who rose to a top admin position on account of her race and gender and willingness to stab colleagues in the back. As 404 as they get about 'South Asia' and Islamist realities.
3. WHOTUS Chief of Staff Armitage. He is the one who dissed the military's expression of readiness to finish off TSP the day on 9/12, and made the deal with Musharraf's ISI chief who had come to DC so he could sit across from the Pentagon watching the strike on the Pentagon, and (hoping) the strike on the COTUS. They should have put him in Guantanamo first.
