Pakis Gift

ASHINGTON: Pakistan has said that it has acquired advanced nuclear fuel cycle capability and can offer it to the rest of the world under IAEA safeguards.
The offer, contained in a national statement presented at a two-day summit which concluded in Washington on Tuesday, reflected Islamabad’s desire to gain recognition as a nuclear state.

Talks with Pakistan only if they take action against 26/11 conspirators: Man Mohan Singh

Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on Tuesday said India could resume dialogue with Pakistan on all issues if "concrete" and "effective" action is taken against those behind the Mumbai terror strikes but made it clear that there was no need for the US or any other country to get involved in the Indo-Pak affairs.

Addressing a press conference here, he rejected Pakistan's contention that there was not enough evidence to act against Saeed and said the proof, even that gathered by American agencies, was already in public domain and there was no need to give any more.

Singh, who conveyed to President Barack Obama India's unhappiness over Pakistan's attitude on dealing with terrorism and particularly named Saeed and al-Qaida leader Ilyas Kashmiri in this regard, hoped that the points he raised would "weigh considerably" on the US government.

Disagreeing that he had taken "complaint" against Pakistant to Obama, he said he had to "explain" India's perspective, which is an "open secret", whenever anyone asks at meetings about the bilateral relations between India and Pakistan.

"We have said more than once that Pakistan, if it takes credible steps to bring the perpetrators of the horrible crime of 26/11 to book... that's the minimum we expect from Pakistan and if Pakistan does that, we would be very happy to talk to them and beginning talking to them once again on all our issues {Thank God, he didn't say the well worn-out and unnecessary 'we will go more than half the way to meet them'}," Singh said.

When pointed out that Pakistan was already prosecuting seven terrorists in connection with 26/11, the Prime Minister said there were "other people" named in the conspiracy who were "roaming about freely" in Pakistan.

"That is the reality and these are facts which are brought about, not only by our intelligence agencies, but by intelligence agencies of friendly countries. We want Pakistan to at least bring those people to book and do it effectively."

Read this article by Ayesha Siddiqa giving many back handed compliments to Kayani

http://tribune.com.pk/story/5159/a-man-of-destiny/

Gen. Kayani’s ultimate desire, however, is to acquire a civil-nuclear agreement with the US. He not only wants the technology, he wants Washington to pay for it as well. Meanwhile, he has convinced some of the South Asia experts in town of the possibility of Pakistan winding up the jihad machine in return for favorable treatment on the civil-nuclear front. It seems that special treatment and protocol accorded to most western visitors in Islamabad can go a long way.

The general is lucky to inherit a well-oiled organisational machine which is self-serving and autonomous. It has means to play with the society’s mind and create a friendly image. Who wouldn’t want to be in the general’s shoes?

Wishful Soliloquy

Many readers are probably watching the Indian Premier League (IPL) matches these days. Like it or not, the event is now firmly established, is clearly a big success, and likely to go from strength to strength in the coming years. The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), and our own cricketers, must be green with envy. The top international stars are playing, except those from Pakistan. Is that not a great pity?

Anyway, even if we will be unable to attract international stars, or compete with the IPL extravaganza, should the PCB not at least be organising our own mini-version of the event?

How wonderful would it have been had Karachi and Lahore had franchised teams of their own in the IPL (much like the Lahore Badshahs played in the defunct Indian Cricket League), and could host many of the matches. I leave you to speculate on all the benefits of such an impossibly wishful thought that obviously has no chance of materialising.

We tell the world that it is trade, not aid, that we desperately seek for our skewed and dysfunctional economy. But let us think a little clearly. What we are actually seeking from the US and Europe, in the guise of this mantra, is market access for our textiles, as a ‘concession’.

For all our efforts over the years, this they are loath to give us, for all sorts of reasons. And, we are told, there is no support in the US Congress for a Free Trade Agreement between Pakistan and the US. Moreover, we also know that, when it comes to lobbying, we are no match — nor ever will be, for obvious reasons — for the powerful Indian lobby in the US. In the light of these formidable obstacles, what are the chances we will get our wish? Not very bright, would you not say?

But what might happen if the Indian lobby in the US was to actively support (or, at least, not oppose) our efforts? Ah! There is another impossibly wishful thought. And, I suppose, one could say very much the same about our quest for a civil nuclear deal with the US.

In any case, the true basis of trade is the mutual need for, and exchange of, competitive goods and services. What has our economy to offer — as compared to that of India — that the US and Europe really need?

Instead, consider the following argument. Regional trade the world over is of primary importance simply because geographical proximity is a key variable of relative competitive advantage. Should we not, therefore, be seriously looking towards our big eastern neighbour for the best long-term trading opportunities? With its giant domestic market and impressive growth rate, India (along with China) is the economic engine that will drive global economic growth for possibly decades to come. The whole world is keen for a slice of that action. Are we — who ironically are best placed to take advantage (both directly and indirectly) — to be the only ones to reject such a golden opportunity to dramatically improve the economic prospects of our future generations?

Many self-styled analytical geniuses in our fold still live in a self-induced dream world where our country is believed to occupy a geo-strategic location of allegedly great importance for the rest of the world. This ‘fact’ is supposed to provide us with a kind of leverage that compels the big powers to not only provide us the odd free lunch now and then, but also to underwrite the unending lavish parties befitting our status we like to think it is our right to throw. But ask yourself: what makes us so special that entitles us to think a hard-nosed world really owes us a living?

By now I have gotten tired of pointing out (giving solid reasons) that this is little more than delusional self-deception. In the ultimate analysis, we count for little in the calculations of the big powers. It may be unpalatable to our psyche but the truth is all they really seek from us is that we stop being the epicentre of their perceived security concerns (imagined or real). As all the hard evidence of their actions demonstrate, it is India not us, that is their real geo-strategic partner of choice in the region (and for reasons that should be obvious even to a dummy).

About the only real importance of our geographical location is as a vital trade and energy corridor between the Central Asian Republics and the rest of the world. The question I am compelled to ask is how long is it going to be before we create the conditions that will allow us to exploit the full economic potential of such a positional advantage to the immense benefit of our people?

I have not said anything here that is not obvious or many others have not said before. And that is even without enumerating (because of lack of space) all the innumerable and solid other collateral economic, political, and social dividends we can reap, if only.

Ah! There is the rub: if only ... what? Peace, of course. And do we not all (save a few loonies on the fringes) want that? Sure we do. So what is the problem?

The problem is, we want peace on terms acceptable to us. And those terms, so far, have been unacceptable to our adversary. Now we can, with every justification, say exactly the same about the Indian attitude (besides our claim that our case is a just one while theirs is not). But, in the impasse that so results, we ignore one crucial reality: as the status-quo power India can both comfortably resist and afford the consequences of confrontation; the costs for us are unbearably steep. So, bitterly unpalatable though it may be, it is us who will have to make the real concessions because our bargaining position is weak. Is it not high time we forget the past, look to the future and make that painful adjustment?

For anyone to suggest a decade ago that we give up, in our own larger interest, our most cherished national cause of 60 years would surely have invited a spate of choice insulting epithets such as an unpatriotic coward, a security risk, an Indian agent, or even a traitor. Fortunately, we have slowly reached a level of maturity where publicly airing such views is at least possible without fear of painful consequences. But when will we reach that level of political maturity where, in our thinking, the welfare and prosperity of the people overwhelms all other national considerations?

Thieves steal an entire railway bridge

Unknown miscreants stole a temporary railway bridge from the Kot Radha Kishan railway section, a private TV channel reported on Tuesday.

According to the TV channel, the iron bridge was 44 feet long and weighed 20 tons and could not be lifted by less than 20 people. The bridge was used in emergency situations, sources told the TV channel. Police have filed a case against Railway Lodge Inspector Arshad Ali Chughtai, as two bridges of the same category were also stolen from the railway section before.

Pakistan air force 'killed scores of villagers'

For those who want (like myself) air power to be used against the Naxals,a grim reminder about the risk of killing innocents as Pak has done.

Witnesses refute military claims that jet fighters fired on Islamist militants

By Riaz Khan and Zarar Khan in Peshawar
Wednesday, 14 April 2010

Excerpt:

Dilla Baz Khan was pulling a woman from the rubble of an air raid when Pakistani jets screamed back into the valley for a second bombing run, killing scores of people in a village which locals say had been supportive of army offensives against militants along the Afghan border.

Mr Khan and other survivors said yesterday at least 68 villagers were killed in the weekend air strikes, sharply contradicting initial army accounts that the dead were Islamist militants. A local administration official said $125,000 (£81,000) had been paid in compensation to victims. The official declined to confirm how many of the dead were civilians but said Shafiullah Khan, the top official in Khyber, apologised to local tribesman and admitted the victims were "mostly" innocent villagers.

The accounts point to one of the most serious incidents of civilian casualties inflicted by Pakistan's military in the border region in recent years. The carnage is likely to damage efforts to get the backing of local tribesman for offensives against insurgents behind bombings in Pakistan, as well as attacks on international troops in Afghanistan.

Three witnesses interviewed yesterday in a hospital in the north-western city of Peshawar gave the first detailed account of the air raids, which took place on Saturday morning in the remote village of Sara Walla in the Khyber tribal agency.

They said most families in the village have sons in the security forces and it had a history of co-operating with the army. One said the owner of the house that was bombed initially, Hamid Khan, has two sons serving in the paramilitary Frontier Corps. "This house was bombed on absolutely wrong information," said Khanan Gul Khan, a Sara Walla resident. "This area has nothing to do with militants."

The Pakistan Problem -
President Obama risks alienating India by courting Islamabad

Needless to say, the Obama administration is right in seeking to wield American influence for peace in South Asia. But rewarding Pakistan for its pursuit of jihadism while punishing India for nurturing democracy and opening up its economy ought to be a bridge too far even for an administration with a reputation for stiffing friends and coddling enemies.

The Islamic Republic of Pakistan certainly numbers among the countries that are more than normally prone to ingratitude.

When the years of fomenting Jihadi Islamic Terrorism against the rest of the world came back to haunt Pakistan resulting in a virtual cessation of other countries visiting the Islamic Republic to participate in sporting events, the Sri Lanka sent their cricket team. This act of charity was repaid by a terrorist attack on the Sri Lankan team in Lahore.

Now the Islamic Republic in their zeal to deny their own culpability and fob off the responsibility elsewhere have launched an investigation in Sri Lanka despite the fact that that the attack took place in the Islamic Republic of Pakistan and was carried out by Pakistani Islamic Jihadists and are upset that the Sri Lankan’s having seen through their ploy are correctly not being co-operative:

Nabbed people in Hazarah being freed today: Malik

Updated at: 1415 PST, Wednesday, April 14, 2010 ……………

Responding a query, the federal minister {Interior Minister Rehman Malik} said Sri Lanka government is not cooperating on the investigations in attack at SL cricket team.

The Interior Minister said he would protest to the Sri Lankan ambassador in Pakistan that Sri Lanka denied cooperation with Pakistan’s investigation team during its tour to the country.

Ramana garu,

What kind of blog will it be? A BR blog with multiple bloggers or will it be Sridhar ji's blog specifically?

Even within our BR community our views may not always be in sync. If multiple bloggers then let each blogger have their own topic. It will give a continuity to the thoughts being presented and parlayed.
My suggestion being that Sridhar ji focus on LET or the Islamic groups in the RAPE country. LET by itself is a huge task - their origins, their multiple skins and their reach and goals.
Cheers,

Interesting.. with all the hulla gulla of " Obama impressed with Pak's commitment" and ".. surprise offer of nuclear fuel services"
the White house document
Highlights of the National Commitments made at the Nuclear Security Summit

Which lists commitments from Armenia to India (India: Announcing the creation of a Nuclear Energy Center with a nuclear security component) to UAE and Vietnam.. has one omission! Yes Pakistan!!

(Heck they did not even join ". the Global Initiative to Combat Nuclear Terrorism" like many other nations like Philippines, Thailand and ......Vietnam did

)

(Only mention is in the "comments" of press conference of Obama saying something to the effect: "Pakistan… announced new steps to strengthen port security and prevent nuclear smuggling."
All that ehh and dee ...

Added Later: for

Read N-Summit: Obama impressed with Pak's commitment

Pakistan's commitment towards Nuclear communique and the country's presence at the Nuclear Security Summit impressed US president Barack Obama, who has stated that Pak's involvement will reduce chances of proliferation....“The fact that Prime Minister (Yusuf Raza) Gilani came here, signed on to a communique, and made a range of commitments that will make it more likely that we don’t see proliferation activities or trafficking occurring out of Pakistan is a positive thing,” t....Expressing confidence over the safety of Pakistan’s nuclear arsenal ..[and all sort of promising civil nuclear deal . .]

^^^Added more: Along with the above head line goes: What nuclear security commitments did Pakistan make? Ouch!

In a statement preceding the press conference, Dr Singh described as the "next logical step" after New Delhi's recent nuclear deal, his announcement about the setting up of new Global Centre for Nuclear Energy Partnership in India. The offer was welcomed by President Obama as "one more tool to establish best practices."

Almost on cue, Pakistan, still in disgrace over its proliferation activities, also offered a "global nuclear fuel cycle services," leading to much mirth at the summit that it had merely made "official" what it had always offered clandestinely.

Sure, but India should not be deluded into thinking that it has the same clout or power as China. One does not need to be hyphenated with TSP to suggest that if the final denounement of AfPak results in TSP keeping LET intact, strategic depth preserved, and more military goodies; then forget about India competing with China, India might be hardpressed to even defend New Delhi from Paki barbarians in a few years time. Thus, the need of the hour is not some bogus H&D about India's "great power" crap, but rather doing everything it can in preventing TSP from tormenting India after US leaves AfPak. And if this means India comparing itself to TSP, so be it.

The mirage of success

The main battle ground is Orakzai Agency, a hub for militants who go from there to neighboring Khyber Agency to attack NATO's supply lines. Unofficial estimates claim that hundreds of soldiers have been killed, along with scores of militants. Brigadier Khalid Khan and Colonel Anwar Abbas, sent to the area because of their good track record in operations in the Swat Valley last year, have been confirmed as killed. Militants also captured the paramilitary forces' headquarters in Orakzai Agency for a few days before retreating.

US troops expand role inside Pak

WASHINGTON: US Special Operations Forces on a training mission in Pakistan are playing an expanded but largely unseen role in the country's counterinsurgency campaign, working with paramilitary units to "hold and build" tribal areas as militants are cleared out. US defense and administration officials say the elite trainers, who currently number more than 100, are not authorized to take part in Pakistani military offensives in the semi-autonomous tribal regions, known as the Federally Administered Tribal Areas, or FATA, along the Afghan border. Pakistan has balked at US offers of joint military operations there, officials said on condition of anonymity. But Special Ops trainers play a bigger role than has been disclosed in helping Pakistan's paramilitary Frontier Corps, such as surveying and coordinating projects aimed at winning "hearts and minds" and preventing Taliban fighters from returning to areas once they have been pushed out. Washington is in talks to increase the number of Special Ops trainers and authorize sending them to sectors deeper in the tribal regions, but details have yet to be worked out.
