I guess now they will blame us for not building the dams fast enough to control water flowing into pukeland {although I understand that its not in Pakjab that these floods have occured}

Oh, Pakjab has plenty of flooding. Mr. Shahbaz Sharif was making a tour of the affected areas with Geo TV's Hamid Mir in tow.

------
I have a question - re: Raza Haider, a senior leader of the Muttahida Qaumi Movement, who was gunned down in Karachi, they said, everyone, including ISI had been asked to help find the perpetrators. They're saying it is Sipahe-Sahiba (at least in one news-cast). Of course, MQM is also saying it is ANP.

Question: just how much does the ISI know?

It appears from news reports that flood waters would reach parts of Sindh and major urban areas in a few days ( a week's time max). If we see anything like what we have seen in Swat etc (flood situation), and any complications in the Hunza sector, compounded with Qari's 300+ soosai mehmaan ready to pound Punjab, just completed news coverage of ISIs/Puke Army's excellent record of good neighbourly behavior, one wonders if Allah is shouting at us to, having done his part, do something about the ignominy called Pukistan.

They will follow the same strategy that they followed when POK was hit with earthquake. Even if a lot die in Swat, Sindh etc, there is no loss to TSP. All it needs is its Army, Ef-sollas remain intact and that is all it needs.

The flooding is a great opportunity for LeT to ingratiate itself with the community, as they did in PoK & Swat. Of late, there has been an erosion in its cadres and reach.

Has license been given to 'expose' the Pakistan hand in Af-Pak nonsense? How come the ex-Canadian diplomat suddenly felt the urge to write about TSPA complicity? Then there is additional encrypted file on Wikileaks. Who is orchestrating this 'expose' and why? ramana garu wrote about getting TSPA to reign in LeT - if that was the case, then we should see this matter dying down in short-term - but this seems like a concentrated effort towards some end game? Can the Cameroon's 'honest and forthright' talk about TSPA be part of this? The reason I ask is because UK-US would caliberate their Foreign Policy on Af-Pak - IMO, any new government in UK can't just break from established position just like that.

Any thoughts?

The site has 86 registered users and five administrators, according to a report at the Open Source Center that was obtained by The Long War Journal. The website contains a forum and a blog, and posts links to Taliban propaganda, including a statement by failed Times Square bomber Faisal Shahzad.Several authorities, including US intelligence officials and an expert on terrorist websites, all of whom wish to remain anonymous, said that the Al Qaeda Brigade 313 website appears to be legitimate and may be directly associated with al Qaeda.The Brigade 313 website's landing page has the words "Al Qaeda Brigade 313" in the center, while text describing Harkat-ul-Jihad-al-Islami, Lashkar-e-Jhangvi, Jundallah, and the Movement of the Taliban in Pakistan occupies the four corners of the page

With Friends Like These…

of classified field reports from U.S. troops in Afghanistan, and hundreds of those reports mention the Americans’ suspicions that Pakistan is secretly assisting the Taliban—a charge that Pakistan has repeatedly and vehemently denied. “At least we have something in common with America,” the logistics officer says. “The Pakistanis are playing a double game with us, too.”
Pakistan’s ongoing support of the Afghan Taliban is anything but news to insurgents who have spoken to NEWSWEEK. Requesting anonymity for security reasons, many of them readily admit their utter dependence on the country’s Directorate for Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) not only for sanctuary and safe passage but also, some say, for much of their financial support. The logistics officer, speaking at his mud-brick compound near the border, offers an unverifiable estimate that Pakistan provides roughly 80 percent of the insurgents’ funding, based on his conversations with other senior Taliban. He says the insurgents could barely cover their expenses in Kandahar province alone if not for the ISI. Not that he views them as friends. “They feed us with one hand and arrest and kill us with the other,” he says

General Kayani's quiet coup - Praveen Swami
Excerpts

Late in April, Ashfaq Pervez Kayani stood before a solemn audience that had gathered to mark Martyrs Day.

“There is no greater honour than martyrdom”, Pakistan's army chief said, “nor any aspiration greater than it. When people are determined to achieve great objectives, they develop the faith needed to trust their lives to the care of Allah. We are well aware of the historical reality that nations must be willing to make great sacrifices for their freedom”. “I am proud”, he went on, “that the nation has never forgotten the sacrifices of its martyrs and holy warriors”.

If it hadn't been for General Kayani's impeccably-ironed military uniform, his audience might have been forgiven for believing that the speech was being made by the Islamist clerics who have exhorted insurgents to claim the lives of over 2,700 Pakistani troops in combat.

Kayani is at the centre of three projects critical to the long-term power of the Pakistan army. The first is this: extricating the Pakistan army from a counter-insurgency campaign that appears unwinnable.{Exactly as we have been saying here in BRf}

Kayani, the Pakistan army hopes, will be able to secure its allies power in a future regime in Kabul — and then use their influence to scale back its conflict with the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan at home.{Confirms what we have been discussing here}

Kayani, the Pakistan army hopes, will be able to secure its allies power in a future regime in Kabul — and then use their influence to scale back its conflict with the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan at home. Kayani is working to heal President Musharraf's rupture with domestic jihadists — a constituency who were once drawn to state-backed organisations like the Lashkar-e-Taiba and Jaish-e-Mohammad, but have been increasingly supporting the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan. Pakistan's India policy is being reinvented by Kayani to this end: the second project he needs time to see to fruition.

India and Afghanistan are just parts, though, of the third, and most important project: guaranteeing the political primacy of the Pakistan army.

Indians may testify in Pak
Porki ambassador to US claims...

Claiming that Pakistan policy of supporting some terrorist groups has changed, its ambassador here says Islamabad has asked India to send its officials to testify before Pakistani courts to help convict those responsible for Mumbai attacks

“And we have requested our Indian neighbours to provide us with evidence in the sense of allowing Indian officials who have knowledge of this matter, to travel to Pakistan and give evidence in our court,” he said. “And we will be able to complete the prosecution process and convict these people.”

“Our military leadership, our intelligence leadership, and our civilian leadership are all on the same page,”.

Pakistan as a nation can have a good future only if we resolve our problems in our neighbourhood, our neighbours are reasonable about it, the United States support this process of transformation, and Pakistan emerges as a democracy.”

Asked about whistleblower WikiLeaks revelations about “Pakistan’s double game” of its spy agency working directly with the Afghan Taliban, Haqqani cited President Barack Obama to suggest “there is nothing in these entries that we haven’t heard before.”

Cameron diplomacy under fire in the UK - Hasan Suroor

Broadly, this has been the theme of British commentators —namely, that India may be a good market to sell British goods and services but it is Pakistan which is “our” key strategic ally in the region and it is more important to keep an ally on board than chasing potential customers across the border — at least so long as British troops are still in Afghanistan and on the tender mercy of Pakistan-based groups.

The "Muslim" brotherhood of intellectuals,like Hassan S. are now crawling out of the woodwork in the UK ,all claiming that Pak is Britain's "man" in the region.Nothing could be further from the truth factually.Pak is playing a most dangerous and duplicitous game of extortion,threatening the west by omission or commission support of terrorism in their native lands.In fact,should the west clamp down on aid militaire and economic,Pak will be at their knees with its proverbial begging basket! Zardari's visit to Britain will be one such pilgrimage of a bugger...sorry,beggar.meanwhile,the revelations of the former Canadian ambassador that Gen.Kill-Any the "vulture" was orchestrating attacks against Indian interests in Afghanistan and wanted Indian connsulates removed,indicates that he is the key individual who should be "got at",for terrorism,war crimes and arr4ested and put on trial like Milosevic and other nasties and ungodlies oif the globe.However,Washington still is putting its faith in this sh*tworm who is promising to deliver the Taliban to the table for negotiations.
Gen,.Kill-Any and his machinations must be the prime target of India's diplomatic and miliatyr counter-offensive.

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world ... 41671.html

A humanitarian disaster at home, a diplomatic crisis abroad

Pakistan's President Asif Ali Zardari flies into Britain today facing problems on two fronts, reports Omar Waraich

EXcerpt:

The twin crises – a natural disaster of vast proportions exacerbated by years of economic neglect and mismanagement and a confrontation with Britain – have focused fury on Mr Zardari's weak and unpopular government. A shambolic and faltering rescue effort is being offered as proof of a civilian government failing its people.

At the same time, Mr Cameron's accusations have provoked the opposition and broad sections of the public to demand a tougher stance to salve national pride.

Members of the ISI (the Pakistani intelligence agency), who were supposed to travel to Britain with Mr Zardari, have pulled out in protest. The President must now balance the demands of maintaining a crucial alliance with Britain – burnishing Pakistan's reputation abroad and somehow responding to his suffering countrymen at home.

Gallingly for the Pakistani president, there is little he can do to ease either crisis. With entire villages across the North West washed away and hundreds of thousands of families left wading through muddy waters, Pakistan still lacks the infrastructure and the competent institutions to cope with a disaster on this scale.

It took days to dispatch the military's small fleet of helicopters. Despite forecasts of heavy summer rains, no early flood warning systems were installed. Mirroring this impotence, the civilian government remains politically under-equipped to meet Mr Cameron's demands that it do more to rein in the militants aligned to its military establishment.

Weighed down by the daily miseries of a sagging economy, 18 hours a day power cuts and the constant risk of terrorist attacks, few citizens are willing to accept the latest tragedy as the will of Allah. Blame is being cast on the mustachioed leader, accused of consorting with a western leader who seems to privilege a relationship with arch-rival India.

While Washington's recent approach has revealed a sensitivity that Pakistani analysts say eludes Mr Cameron, his remarks are not at odds with what western officials have long suspected in private. In its bid to counter Indian influence in the region, they say, Pakistan's powerful army has quietly nurtured ties with militant proxies with no prospect of civilian interference or oversight.

The army's enduring clout was underscored when the politically powerful General Ashfaq Kayani secured an unprecedented second-term as army chief. Whatever Washington's concerns about the Pakistani army's duplicity, it had little choice but to welcome the move and marshal a further $2.5bn in military aid this year.

The unpopular and flagging war effort in Afghanistan may now depend on Pakistan's support and General Kayani is offering to lure the Afghan Taliban to the negotiating table.

KARACHI, Pakistan — Gunmen killed at least 37 people in Pakistan's largest city after the assassination of a lawmaker, officials said Tuesday.

Dozens of vehicles and shops were set on fire as security forces struggled to gain control of Karachi.

The latest unrest came after Raza Haider, a provincial lawmaker, was shot dead along with his bodyguard in a mosque in Nazimabad area while preparing to offer prayers Monday.

Officials from different hospitals put the total death toll by Tuesday morning at 37. Some 80 additional people had suffered gunshot wounds, they said. A furniture market was among the places set ablaze.

Sindh province spokesman Jamil Soomro said at least 10 people were arrested, and police and Army Rangers were dispatched throughout the city to impose order.

However gunfire could still be heard Tuesday morning and fires were still being set in some areas.

Schools and colleges in Karachi and other urban centers in the province were ordered to stay closed by the government Tuesday. Some officials blamed unspecified "invisible hands" for the violence.

A globalized world

. . . and in Pakistan mellifluous Urdu vocabulary is being substituted by crude Hindi terms. Sonia Gandhi had claimed in the early 1990s of having culturally invaded Pakistan. She was quite right. As the Indian media makes it a point to infuse more Sanskrit words and street lingo into Hindi — substituting Urdu vocabulary — Pakistan eagerly laps up Hindi lingo. At the pioneering Karachi Literature Festival, I was surprised to hear a renowned Urdu poetess recite a poetic composition, which could be more appropriately termed a Hindi poem. Flag followed trade in olden days and now culture follows economics, so where would our culture be in the next decade? {What precisley is your culture ?}

Attending one Muslim Indian Americans’ meeting, I was stunned to hear how the visits of either spouse’s parents were being tolerated as day-care expense savers.

Karachi revenge attacks leave dozens dead
Gunmen killed at least 45 people in Pakistan's largest city after a prominent lawmaker's assassination set off a cycle of revenge attacks, officials said on Tuesday.

Schools and colleges in Karachi and other urban centres in the province were ordered to stay closed by the government
Photo: REUTERS Dozens of vehicles and shops were set ablaze as security forces struggled to regain control of Karachi.

The southern city of more than 16 million has a history of political, ethnic and religious violence, and has long been a hide-out for al-Qaeda and Taliban militants. Its stability is important for Pakistan because it is the country's main commercial hub.

The latest unrest came after Raza Haider, a provincial lawmaker, was shot dead along with his bodyguard in a mosque while preparing to offer prayers Monday in Nazimabad area.

Haider was a member of the Muttahida Qaumi Movement, the political party that runs the city and represents mainly descendants of migrants from India who settled in Pakistan when it was created in 1947.

The MQM's main nemesis is the Awami National Party, a secular nationalist party whose main power centre is Pakistan's north-west and whose base is the ethnic Pashtun community.

Analysts say followers of all political parties in Karachi are heavily involved in criminal activities such as protection rackets and illegal land dealings. In certain neighbourhoods, armed men linked to political parties stand guard at checkpoints.

Officials from different hospitals put the total death toll by Tuesday morning at 45. Some 80 additional people had suffered gunshot wounds, they said. A furniture market was among the places set ablaze.

Sindh province spokesman Jamil Soomro said at least 10 people were arrested, and police and army rangers were dispatched throughout the city to impose order. But gunfire could still be heard on Tuesday morning, and fires were still being set in some areas.

180 US Cobra operatives land in Pak covertly

By: Ashraf Javed | Published: August 03, 2010

LAHORE – As Pakistan is battling hard to eliminate the menace of terrorism from the country with suicidal bombing escalating to key cities, about 180 US Cobra operatives including spies linked to notorious Blackwater agency have arrived secretly in Lahore, Islamabad, Karachi, and Quetta.
Well-informed police sources close to the development revealed here on Monday that the undercover US intelligence operatives started arriving in the City a few days ago.
About 650 US nationals, most of them linked with US Defence and security affairs, have been issued one-year multiple Pakistani visas by Pakistani Embassy in Washington in sheer violation of the prescribed rules.
Sources also added that the Pakistani Embassy issued special multiple visas in haste without fulfilling the legal and diplomatic prerequisites.

They further said that Pakistan’s Ambassador to the United States Hussain Haqqani issued special protocol visas to more than 600 security operatives including 200 US Marines shortly after he was given special powers by President Asif Ali Zardari to issue visas in Washington during his last month’s visit to Islamabad.

Sources said that they would be also allowed to utilise green channel facility without any hindrance at all the airports of the country. ‘This action of the government has put a question mark on the country’s sovereignty. The US intelligence operatives are being provided protocol at the airports while the Pakistanis have to face humiliating attitude at the hands of American officials in US’, a senior politician commented, urging upon the government to reconsider its foreign policy before it is too late.
