We should not do the equal equal and complain about US TSP love making. What we should be against is US mollycoodling of TSP by feeding its imaginary anti-India paranoia. Like for example, that bozo who wrote the TSP water woes op ed in the NYT. Likewise, I don't see an issue with US investing in TSP education weaning them away from madarass schools, but giving them F-solas and drones so they can be used against India is unacceptable. The fundamental US policy has been to prop up TSP as India's strategic equal, and overlook TSP's crimes against India in achieving this objective, and that needs to be countered.

Translation for madrassa educated Baki mango abduls:

First evil yindoos stopped water by building dams everywhere in dar-ul-harb. Then daily Surya namaskar performed by 1 billion yindoos caused Surya bhagwan to be pleased and shine his light on yindoo land and yindoo sea (Indian Ocean). The hot vapours thus created then travelled to Bakistan and lost their steam after colliding with the mighty, pious, and immovable taller-than-the-sea mountains of Bakistan. The yindoo vapours defeated by mujahid mountain range of Bakistan then instantly turned into water... a lot of water, and began their downhill skiing back to the Indian ocean.

Thus, Pakistan is victorious again! But kuffar yindoos must pay for this treachery and so jihad in Kashmir must continue. Bakistan is a victim of Hinduism and Islam is in danger! AoA!
good one :rotfl:

Pakistanis block highways to protest slow flood aid
Pakistani flood victims, burning straw and waving sticks, blocked a highway on Monday to demand government help as aid agencies warned relief was too slow to arrive for millions without clean water, food and homes.

Public anger has grown in the two weeks of floods, highlighting potential political troubles for an unpopular government overwhelmed by a disaster that has disrupted the lives of at least a tenth of its 170 million people.
The U.N. has reported the first case of cholera. In a statement issued in New York, it said the greatest threat was from acute watery diarrhea and dysentery, but that hepatitis A and E and typhoid fever were also significant risks.

http://www.ethancasey.com/2010/08/ahmed ... e-taliban/
Below is part of what he says now about the Pakistani intelligence service, the ISI, and what its involvement in Afghanistan might portend for the region. Especially damning is his claim about the ISI and the Taliban – i.e. not the well-attested truth that it was involved in nurturing the Taliban in the first place, but his subtler but equally disturbing point that the ISI has never, at any crucial moment, been able to control the Taliban.
The quote below comes from Ahmed Rashid’s July 14 post “Petraeus’s Baby” on the New York Review of Books blog:
“The ISI knows it is holding more cards than any of the other regional powers—Russia, China, India, Saudi Arabia, and Iran, and there is little they can do about its interference in Afghanistan for the moment. Still, most of these countries would not tolerate an ISI-Taliban dominated government in Kabul, and eventually they will gang up against Pakistan, creating still more turmoil in the region.
“Moreover it is highly unlikely that the ISI will ever be able to control the Taliban. It failed to control the outcome of the fall of Kabul in 1992 or the rise of the Taliban in 1994, and it lost all control of the Taliban just before September 11. …”
It can lose control of Taliban tomorrow or lose control of LeT tomorrow when it feels that it is not getting what it wants or it feels insecure.

Tazza Samachar: Today, for the very first time, sun rose in the west.
Militants Overtake India as Top Threat, Says Pakistan's ISI ---- WSJ

Pakistan's main spy agency says homegrown Islamist militants have overtaken the Indian army as the greatest threat to national security, a finding with potential ramifications for relations between the two rival South Asian nations and for the U.S.-led war in Afghanistan.

A recent internal assessment of security by the Inter-Services Intelligence, Pakistan's powerful military spy agency, determined that for the first time in 63 years it expects a majority of threats to come from Islamist militants, according to a senior ISI officer.

Once the World Bank is going to give Pakistan money (or Kerry-Lugar is) then they can bravely go around
a. claiming they don't need it.
b. portraying that they are doing the world a favor by accepting the money.
c. blaming future messes on the donors who gave them money they didn't want.

Nawaz badmash is trying to be holier than Zardari and the TSPA. By denying need for Western aid he is putting both of them in the light green corner.

As I said before someone will snatch the kabila from the TSPA before they know it. It has to be someone greener and able to connect with the residents. TSPA made a bad choice when they helped Pakjab become dominant group.

more boom boom in Karachi -

DSP, Shia leader’s son shot dead in Karachi
http://www.dailytimes.com.pk/default.as ... 2010_pg7_6

Situation tense in Ancholi, Abbas Town, and Jafar-e-Tayyar Society
KARACHI: A deputy superintendent police (DSP), his gunman and the son of the Shia Action Committee head were gunned down in Karachi in two separate incidents on Monday.

Preedy police station DSP and his gunman were killed near Radio Pakistan on MA Jinnah Road late on Monday night in an incident of targeted killing. According to police officials, Nawaz Ranjha was on his way home with constable Muhammad Jahangir when four to five armed men on two motorcycles intercepted their vehicle and sprayed them with bullets.

In the second incident, the son of Shia Action Committee chief and Majlis-e Wahdat-e Muslimeen (MWM) central leader Maulana Mirza Yousuf Hussain was gunned down in the Nazimabad locality. A passerby was also wounded in the incident. Unidentified gunmen opened fire on 37-year-old Khadim Hussain near the Shalimar Park within Nazimabad police precincts as he was leaving his house. The deceased was the father of three children.

“Motorcyclists taking advantage of a power failure in the locality shot him several times,” Jaffaria Alliance Pakistan (JAP) spokesman Ali Ahmer said. He further said the deceased had received multiple bullets injuries and died shortly after he was moved to the Abbasi Shaheed Hospital (ASH).

As the news spread, scores of Shia leaders, workers and relatives reached the ASH and chanted slogans against banned religious outfits and the failure of the government in curbing the continued killings in the city. Following the incident, tension engulfed various Shia-dominated areas in the city including Ancholi, Jafar-e-Tayyar Society and Abbas Town where routine and commercial life came to a halt.

But what caught my attention is how much the world is ostensibly "scared" of TSP sinking. First, as expected, DDM wants India to suck up to TSP for fear that they will beat the crap out of us:

Another Indian newspaper said in its reports that “India may have missed a golden opportunity to impart tangential impetus to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh’s dogged bid for lasting peace with Pakistan by not extending a helping hand in the neighbour’s flood relief effort”.

The newspaper said New Delhi’s silence on the flood devastation in Pakistan had not only been noted by influential sections in Pakistan, but also rankled sections of the Indian establishment. Some, in fact, have begun to rue missing what they called a “great opportunity” to reach out to the Pakistani people in their hour of need.



I will bet 5 Paki paise that the writer of this report in "Another Indian newspaper" is Siddharth Baradar-rajan. I wonder if he has noted that MMS actually took advantage of this "great opportunity" only to be rebuffed by the Pakis.

Rebuilding Pakistan after floods could reach $15 billion
( Watching Poak Broke Croak, Priceless)
Momin Poaks to Kuufar Lokes
Tummhi ho Ammi,Abbu tummi ho,
Tummi ho malik, Aluiya tumi ho
Jaldi jaldi Aid mujh ko De De
mar jaoonga nahi to Drawing room me tere.
SUKKUR, Pakistan — The cost of rebuilding Pakistan after its devastating floods could exceed $10 to $15 billion, the country's High Commissioner to Britain said on Monday. He said this was a rough estimate because an assessment of the extent of the damage caused by the floods — which have affected 20 million people — had yet to be carried out. But the number gave an indication of the scale of the reconstruction needed after the floods swept away roads, bridges and telecommunications, and destroyed crops for food supplies, exports and cotton for its vital textile industry. "It will take at least five years," High Commissioner Wajid Shamsul Hasan told Reuters in an interview. Asked about the cost of rebuilding, he said, "I think more than $10 to $15 billion." Pakistan, already embroiled in a battle against Islamist militants, is appealing for international aid to help it cope with one of the worst natural disasters in its history

Pakistan’s ‘image deficit’ hurting aid funds flow: UN :D

GENEVA: Relief agencies are having trouble obtaining funds to help millions of flood victims as Pakistan suffers from an “image deficit”, a UN spokeswoman said on Monday. “We note often an image deficit with regards to Pakistan among Western public opinion,” said Elizabeth Byrs, spokeswoman of the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs. “As a result, Pakistan is among countries that are poorly financed, like Yemen,” she added. The UN has been struggling to obtain $460 million to provide emergency aid to six million victims of the country ravaged by heavy flooding. afp

Not to go too off topic, but I went through the entire list, and pretty much all our neighbors, and a large fraction of our neighbors-once-removed, are in that list. We live in a pretty bad neighborhood, and it is not just Pakistan.

A bit of history - the source of Pakistan's strategic thinking:

October 14, 1947, the Nawab of Bhopal wrote to Jinnah about the British and the Commonwealth's unsympathetic response to Pakistan's appeal to intervene in East Punjab.

He pointed out that Pakistan was important to the West from strategic, economic and political aspects (because of what we now call the Cold War) and that they should be made to realize that.

Quote:

3. In this global and international peace strategy, the Dominion of Pakistan occupies a unique and vital position. If one may describe the vast expanses of the Indian Ocean as an arch, then Pakistan and its port at Karachi can be rightly named the keystone of that arch.

Were Pakistan, stretching from the Himalayas to the sea, forced to align itself, for any reason, with the powers hostile to the peace-loving nations, then the apex of the great arch of the Indian Ocean would be controlled by the enemies of the British Commonwealth, the resources of the Dominion of India would be at their disposal, and the whole strategic position in the Middle East would be out-flanked and turned.

The oil resources at present available to the Western Democracies in Iran, Iraq, and Saudi Arabia, would fall under enemy control and air and sea fleets would then be free to attack the continent of Africa.

In addition, the Dominion of Pakistan represents the only area on the face of the globe from which a counter-offensive, in sufficient strength against Russia could be mounted. {long argument to prove this is omitted.}

6. In the analysis, therefore, not only is the survival of Pakistan vital to the interests of the Western Democracies and those other states willing to combine in an alliance to curb the aggressive ambitions of the Soviets, but its transformation into a base capable of maintaining a modern army is of equal importance.

...
{I won't reproduce the economic and political analysis.}

14. In renewing this appeal for a sane approach on the part of the Commonwealth in this inter-Dominion dispute in the Punjab, it would be as well for those responsible for making the decisions to look at this problem from the lowest, and purely materialistic level of self-interest and to face the facts and come to the assistance of the Dominion of Paksitan in this, the first desperate crisis which has over-shadowed the country at the very outset of its career as an equal partner in the British Commonwealth. This is the crucial test. Are the other Dominions capable of rising to the occasion?

Millions of Pakistani children at risk of flood diseases
Sindh Irrigation Minister Jam Saifullah Dharejo said water levels were still rising and now entering the Shikarpur district.

"The next five days are crucial," he said.

In eastern Balochistan, at least one district centre and three major towns have been inundated following a government decision to divert the thrust of the flood in the Indus river away from Jacobabad, a major town in the north-west of Sindh province, and the nearby Pakistan Air Force base.

Oh, the Partition massacres and migrations were in full progress in October 1947. Pakistan wanted the Commonwealth to intervene in East Punjab to save the Muslims there.

PS: the Pakistanis wanted neutral observers posted in East Punjab.

From Ahmed Rashid's article posted above
For its part, India has failed to respond :(( to the crisis, and relations between the two countries remain locked in bitter animosity, especially as India blames this summer’s uprising in Indian Kashmir on Pakistan. Major international pressure is needed for both countries to sort out their acute differences over the control of their common river systems and the building of new dams on both sides of the border. (The sources of many of the rivers that flow into Pakistan are in Indian-controlled territory either in the Himalayas or Kashmir. There have been recent rise in tensions with Pakistan accusing India of building unauthorized dams on these rivers upstream.) Indian relief goods, cheaper food, and construction materials should be immediately allowed to enter Pakistan. :eek:
This beggar threatens international pressure on India. :shock:

India ready to give more aid but Pak silent

http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/indi ... 322057.cms
India's offer of assistance was conveyed to Pakistan by foreign ministerS M Krishna when he spoke to his counterpart Shah Mahmood Qureshi last weekend. Pakistan's foreign office, however, did not mention the Indian offer, merely saying that Krishna had extended India's sympathies to Pakistan at the time of crisis.
When questioned, the foreign office spokesman said Pakistan had not "rejected the Indian offer outright".

The Indian government had also come under some criticism :eek: for being slow off the ground. New Delhi took time to craft its response because of the memory of Pakistan's indifference to its offer to help with earthquake relief in 2005. It has, however, now got its act together. Sources said the government has already begun preliminary work on an assistance package with the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) which is resource-rich, and :evil: would even be willing to route the assistance through the UN if that's what Pakistan wants.

But it feels the bilateral approach is better because given the short distances, India would be able to reach assistance much faster to the affected areas in Pakistan. In fact, India is even willing to be the source country for assistance material for other countries, multilateral organizations helping out Pakistan, even NGOs.

Nothing to feel bad about. India is clear that it can send humanitarian relief 50 km across the border within one hour. But Pakistanis want money, routed through a third party that can fill jihadi coffers. India's offers should get louder and more stringent

Excellent thought. Everybody knows that the reason countries aren't lining up to give money to Pakistan is that they realize all funds will end up in ISI/jihadi hands (except 10% will go you-know-where.)

India should open Transparent Relief Centers, under the UN Aegis, at 40-odd points along the Pakistan border. UN can directly manage all fund collection and donation moneys, finances will be under their complete control. India will donate temporary land basing rights and infrastructural facilities like water supply, electricity etc. to these Relief Centers. Aid workers from around the world can base their operations at these Relief Centers, using them to stockpile relief supplies purchased with donated funds and to transport these supplies across the border to the needy people of the flood-devastated areas of Pakistan.

No money at any point will go into Pakistan. Only materials and relief supplies will be transported into Pakistan, in quantities as abundant as necessary.

India should propose this before the UN, as a humanitarian solution to the suffering of flood-affected Pakistani people. :mrgreen:

If india is do any thing inside TSP. It must be under the Indian Flag and not under teh UN flag. Let the khans work under the UN flag if they are so anxious to help TSP.
