Terrorist Islamic Republic of Pakistan (TSP): Oct. 20, 2010

As said before, the BSF needs (or already has) some pot-bellied pandus to shut the gate at the end of the day who chews paan and farts/belches on cue as the Pakis lower their flag.

CRamS wrote:. . . After all, both Amritraj and Mullen have told TSP that if they don't cooperate, US will take matters into their own hands. If so, why is TSP's help so crucial that US cannot do without?

IMO, the context of anger in which the US threatened to pulverize TSP into stone age, carried a credibility in a Pakistan that was at that time desperately trying to rehabilitate itself after having been ex-communicated from world community. The PA feared that the US would credibly carry out that threat and TSP may not have any international supporters. More than anything else, TSP feared losing the nuclear infrastructure because they would then be naked against their only mortal enemy India, an unacceptable situation at any cost. So, they surrendered with their tail tucked firmly between their hind legs and closely tugging the underbelly. Musharraf really meant it when he invoked comparison with Hudabaiya in his national speech. The only difference was that the New Hudabaiya Treaty that PA had in mind was directed against a third party, India, rather than against the new Makkahns, the US.

The US could not have threatened Pakistan in a similar manner at any other time. A debilitated and declining US does not want to open another front with a country such as Pakistan. TSP has a solid supporter in PRC and holds convenient and cheap access points into Afghanistan besides holding many of the aces that will help the US exit Afghanistan honourably and swiftly. Even after exiting Afghanistan, the US needs Pakistani help to maintain control over that country. An attack on Pakistan now will be considered by Muslims the world over as another antagonistic anti-Muslim policy by Christian US. Even among the US allies, there won't be a support for that as, today, there is no strong enough reason to militarily attack Pakistan. That window was frittered away by the US a long time back by venturing into Iraq wrongly. Of course, the US has so many countless levers that it can easily employ against Pakistan. It does that selectively to derive benefits for itself and probably does not want to exhaust all of them. It also wants to retain its influence over Pakistan and not concede that space to PRC. Pakistan, OTOH, like a good chess player, has built a number of fortifications and fallback options.

The US also does not want India to have a free hand. What better option can there be than sustaining this festering wound of Pakistan on the Indian body. There are other reasons like Iran, access to Central Asian states etc. There is no other country in the region that offers so many attractions to the US and is willing to offer it for a price. It has been the case for six decades now. The US chose a wrong partner and has been stuck with that person for the fears costs of alimony.

Also, most countries take a long time to change their geostrategic decisions. The Great Game theory, in its new avtar, continues to play its part. Successive US regimes, including Zbignew Brzezinski, have refined the British theory but keeping the basic thrust of it intact. The Af-Pak-India prism and the Kashmir issue holding the key for stability in Afghanistan and hence the exit of the US forces is an extension of that Theory.

But if H & D is this issue. Then please have it done in a no nonsence fashion by one of the girls of one of the North eastern police forces. They looked quite dangerous when they were in Delhi. This mujhahid was halaled by one

They were able to awe most of the street side romeos of Delhi into following and obeying laws.

Good analysis. But that was the time I feel India may have lost the plot. Recall, soon after 9/11, Vajpayee & Jassu Bhai offered US logistic support, but US refused, perhaphs because TSP was better positioned. But India should have made loud noises at that time that any ressucitation of TSP at India's expense would be unacceptable. Look how TSP has managed to shut India off in Afganisthan. Look how TSP has brought in Kashmir into the equation. And above all, TSP has brought India into the equation at every stage and US has bought TSP's sophistry. India could have likewise played hard ball when the iron was hot and impressed upon US that it has been at the receiving end of TSP's machinations, and while India appreciates US's need for TSP, they must not and cannot be appeased to such an extent that they can wage war with India. And thats what we have been seeing.

Doing so at that time would have prolonged the == which was sucessfuly broken by the two govts. Counterproductive move at the time IMO.

The failure of the berlin accord could not have been forseen in 2002.

If the TSP is sucessful or appears to be sucessful in Afghanistan. That is a failure of the GOI's. This could not have been forseen in 2001/2.

Zulqarnain Haider reportedly goes missing

Paki wicket keeper goes missing

Pakistan wicketkeeper Zulqarnain Haider has reportedly gone missing and did not arrive with the team at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium for the deciding ODI against South Africa.

PCB officials refused to comment on the matter or talk about the reasons for his non-arrival. But a cryptic message left as a status update on the player's Facebook page said: "leaving pakistan cricket because get bad msg fr 1 man fr lose the match in last game." A TV reporter for Geo, a leading Pakistani news channel, said that he had received a similar text message from Zulqarnain earlier on Monday.

Zulqarnain had hit the winning runs for Pakistan in the fourth ODI, which levelled the series against South Africa 2-2.

My response to the Blog

Wishing that Pakistan is stable and a stable Pakistan are two diffrent issues.

The world may wish for a stable Pakistan. But Pakistan knows that it is its instability which gets it all the civil and military aid. In that situation it has no incentive to be stable.

The world will have to undertstand it. If Pakistan is to be genuinely peaceful.

Of course it's a trap and we have left ourselves no option but to walk into it.

You have to hand it to the pakis. Their single-mindedness has covered all the bases and can turn every Indian verbal move on its head with practiced ease. They know very well that we have no response because we have ourselves given them the glove to slap us with. Our most likely response if any will be an inept and confused mumble but I'm happy to be proved wrong. IMVHO, we have to stop responding to this sh!t verbally. We need to turn the screws visibly but without resorting to our favorite pastime of talking.

Weekly inflation up by 1.31 percent
Let us do some simple arrithmetic. (1 + 0.0131) ** 52 = 1.9675. So, a weekly inflation figure of 1.31 percent translates to an annualized figure of 96.75 percent!
Should not Kiyani be more concerned about the impact of inflation on his troops and their families than on Strategic Depth?

The Sensitive Price Indicator (SPI), for the week ended on November 4, for the lowest income group up to Rs.3,000, has registered increase of 1.31 percent over the previous week.
The SPI for the week under review in the above mentioned group was recorded at 297.01 points as against 293.18 points registered in the previous week, according provisional figures of Federal Bureau of Statistics (FBS)...
The items which registered increase in their prices included potatoes, petrol, diesel, LPG ( 11 kg cylender), sugar, kerosene, red chillies, cooking oil (tin), vegetable ghee (tin), onions, milk (fresh), gur, rice basmati (broken), curd, vegetable ghee (loose), cooked dal, garlic, gram pulse (washed), mustard oil, cooked beef, wheat flour (average quality), mutton, washing soap, coarse latha, firewood, wheat (average quality), beef, rice (irri-6), masoor pulse (washed)...

10 to 30 percent rise in kitchen items''

prices
http://www.businessrecorder.com/news/bu ... rices.html

ISLAMABAD (November 07, 2010) : The prices of the entire range of essential kitchen items have jumped up by 10 to 30 percent within last one week in the twin cities of Islamabad and Rawalpindi, according to a survey conducted by Business Recorder. Traders in Rawalpindi/Islamabad wholesale markets told Business Recorder that prices of most of the food items have risen subsequent to the increase in prices of petroleum products.
As transporters increased transport charges, the prices of vegetables and fruits have also gone up, they said. Traders were, however, baffled as to why sugar prices were going up with each passing day with locally manufactured sugar witnessing a 25 percent increase within the last one week.Umar Awan, a sugar trader, said that last week 50 kg bag of locally produced sugar was available at Rs 4,400, and this week it is being traded at Rs 5,100. He added that 100 kg bag of imported sugar is being traded at Rs 8,300, while the same quantity of local sugar is being traded at Rs 10,200 in the wholesale market.He said that last week, sugar was being sold at Rs 90 per kg and this week it is available at Rs 102 per kg. Umar said that general shopkeepers are selling imported and local sugar at the same price, because the general public is unable to differentiate between the local and imported sugar. He added that there is no effective mechanism to compel the shopkeepers to charge just price from the customers.Survey showed that during the week onion price increased from Rs 50 to Rs 90, karela from Rs 45 to Rs 50 and potato from Rs 40 to Rs 50. Price of apples increased from Rs 80 to Rs 100 per kg, pomegranate from Rs 120 to Rs 140 per kg, tomato from Rs 50 to Rs 60, garlic from Rs 250 to Rs 300 per kg and ginger from Rs 220 to 240, Brinjal (baingan) from Rs 25 to Rs 30.

Kashmiri militant groups still recruiting in Pakistan
By Aleem Maqbool
BBC News, Muzaffarabad

"There are different types of duties I can now be sent to do," says the man we have come to meet, but whose identity we have to conceal.

"I can be kept here in the reserves, be asked to recruit new members, or they can send me across into Indian-held Kashmir for jihad," he says.

Until the spring, this 25-year-old had been studying engineering; now he is a militant.

As he describes why he left his studies, he quotes from the Koran and repeats justifications for his choice, which have clearly been taught to him.

"While I was at university, I started going to sermons given by preachers and, thank God, I joined a jihadi group," he says.

"I went to a training camp with hundreds of others for three months. Now I'm ready to do whatever they ask me, to win all of Kashmir for Pakistan.

"The Indians are killing our brothers and sisters. If everyone sits around doing nothing, who will bring liberation?

"God willing, our blood will bring change," the young man adds.

He tells me his family are happy about his choice, and that they will be proud if he becomes a martyr and goes to heaven.

But that turns out not to be the case. After much persuasion, he allows us to meet his mother.
'Brainwashed'

"Only over my dead body will my son go for jihad," she says.

She tells us that she thought her son was going for Koranic teaching but that she was horrified to find that he had, in fact, had militant training.

"I pray to God to keep him here and not let him go. I won't let him," she adds.

And the man's brother, we find, is furious.

"He is a different person since he went to the training camp; the way he talks and dresses. They have brainwashed him.

"If Pakistan wants to fight India, why doesn't it do it through its army, why does it have to use boys like my brother?" he says.

The implication being that it is the Pakistani state that is behind the radicalisation and preparation of his brother as a militant.

In 1947, India was partitioned. Muslim-majority Indian states formed the new nation of Pakistan. But in the hastiness of the split, the fate of Kashmir, whose population was more than three-quarters Muslim, was never fully resolved.

In the late 1940s, the United Nations had demanded that India allow a vote in Kashmir so people there could decide upon their future. India said it agreed, but the poll was never held.

The territory is now split between the two regional powers. They have fought wars for its overall control, but in the last 20 years, an insurgency has also taken root.

There was a time when it was an open secret that the Pakistani authorities were directly supporting militancy in Kashmir.

But now Pakistan claims those days are over.

"I assure you, as a state, as a government, there is no such policy of training Kashmiri militants to be sent across [to Indian-administered Kashmir]," Pakistan's Interior Minister, Rehman Malik, tells me.

He says that because of the monitoring of his government, militant groups have been brought under control, that they are no longer a threat to India, and that fighters cannot cross into the Indian-run side of Kashmir.

When I tell him about the militant we had met, and the organised training camp he had talked of, Mr Malik admitted there might be "some non-state groups" still operating.
'Supporting militancy'

But most people living in Pakistani-administered Kashmir will say the government is not telling the full story.

"The intelligence agencies in Pakistan are still fully supporting and financing militant groups here and the government is completely aware," says Zahid Habib Sheikh, from the Jammu Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF).

"They will tell you there are no training camps but, of course, there are. This has always been Pakistan's Kashmir strategy, but it is a selfish policy that has only damaged our cause," he adds.

Mr Sheikh says he feels Pakistan is supporting militancy here not for the sake of Kashmiris, but to keep India engaged in conflict, and to use the militants as a bargaining chip in negotiations.

"Pakistan has also turned what should be a nationalist cause, about human rights abuses by India, into a religious cause," he says.

The organisation he belongs to re-launched its "Quit Kashmir" campaign earlier this year. It calls for both India and Pakistan to end their involvement in the region.

In what is traditionally protest season in Pakistani-administered Kashmir, where all political groups hold rallies, the march by JKLF was one of the biggest in Muzaffarabad, blocking the centre of the city.

People across Pakistani-administered Kashmir are united in their anger over the recent deaths of over a hundred Kashmiris in the Indian-administered side, killed while protesting against Indian control.

Just as we are leaving Muzaffarabad, after the "Quit Kashmir" rally, we hear crowd noise coming from a marketplace.

There, in the middle of the day, stands a bearded man on a platform, surrounded by armed men in military-type fatigues.

Scores of people have gathered to listen to what he has to say, and respond to his slogans by chanting them back.

He is a senior militant leader, openly urging new recruits to step forward. Undoubtedly more of them will.

UPDATE: Pakistan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs released a statement after this article's publication saying "When his attention was drawn to a recent BBC report alleging existence of terrorist training camps in AJK [Azad Jammu and Kashmir], the [ministry] spokesman termed the report as baseless and malicious.

China to build another nuclear reactor for Pakistan
Pakistan and China deepened their relationship on Monday when it emerged there were plans for a fifth Chinese-built nuclear reactor. The revelation was timed to coincide with President Barack Obama's visit to India, Islamabad's arch rival.

Last month, the Institute for Science and Security claimed that Pakistan had secretly accelerated the pace of its nuclear weapons programme. The Washington-based nuclear watchdog obtained satellite images showing that a row of cooling towers at Khushab-III reactor had been completed, suggesting the plant could soon begin producing plutonium. Imtiaz Gul, a political analyst in Islamabad, said confirmation of a fifth reactor had emerged just as President Obama was cementing ties with India – timing that suggested it was a deliberate signal to Washington. "China is very interested in doing these deals and is willing to sell things that other countries won't so the Pakistanis think they have this leverage over the US, that they have another provider of support," he said. Abdul Basit, Foreign Ministry spokesman, said: "We have ongoing civil nuclear co-operation with China, in accordance with our international obligations and International Atomic Energy Agency safeguards."

When ritual becomes religion —Ishtiaq Ahmed
First sprouting of Dharma and Humanity in Poak World
http://www.dailytimes.com.pk/default.as ... 2010_pg3_2

must confess, I could not find any sense in God wanting animals to be killed in such a grotesque manner and thrown into ditches. The explanation we had been given at home was that the meat of the sacrificed animal was to be shared with the poor, relatives, neighbours, and indeed by the family that offered the animal for sacrifice. In Saudi Arabia, it was nothing of the sort.
Even when we would offer a goat on Eid-ul-Adha, the actual act of slaughter always saddened me. We bought that animal and took care of it for weeks if not months, taking it to the park to graze grass. Naturally, as children we began to love it. Then the butcher would come with his knives and slit its throat before our eyes. (Kidz watch the slitting and the seeds of Kasabslam are sowed that time) sthc I remember always feeling bad when eating its meat.A friend tells me that animals now sacrificed during hajj in Mecca are no longer thrown into ditches, but are put in cold storage and later the meat is sent to poor people all over the world. This might be so, but it is worth discussing if the sacrificing of animals is the only way to celebrate an old Abrahamic tradition. In Pakistan, after the slaughters have taken place, the streets are full of blood and animal parts that rot for days. Moreover, we all know that the ritual of sacrificing animals has become an exhibition of wealth more than a submission to the will of Allah.
