...
Its exact epicenter was in a remote area some 200 miles (320 kilometers) southwest of the Baluchistan capital of Quetta, said chief Pakistani meteorologist Arif Mahmood.
...
...
Tremors lasting at least 20 seconds were also felt as far away as Dubai in the United Arab Emirates and in India's capital, New Delhi.

Usman Zahid, a night manager at Serina Hotel in Quetta, Pakistan, felt the quake. He said it was "frightening" and estimated that it lasted about 20 seconds. It caused "broken glass in the kitchen" and caused the chandelier to swing, but caused no major damage, he said.

nothing much in quetta, looks like this occured in the wild wild desert.

Pakistan is a front line ally, and a victim, of the war of the Tectonic plates - Naturally Pakistan expects all countries located in the respective tectonic plates to contribute to the more than $100.00 billion damage that may have been caused by this 7.2 earthquake.

Taliban leader Mullah Omar 'has had a heart attack'
( Jannat Ki tyari, Chor Poakland ,abb 72 ki Khumari)

Mullah Omar, the one-eyed leader of the Taliban has been operated on in Pakistan in order to save his life after a heart attack, according to reports.Omar and his associates are said to base themselves in Quetta across the Pakistan border from Afghanistan, where they allegedly have the protection of the Pakistani military. The report suggests that the Pakistanis are keen to keep him alive to preserve their influence over the Taliban, despite official denials. Omar had a heart attack on January 7 and was treated for several days in a hospital in Karachi, according to the report by a company run by former CIA and military officers and carried online by the Washington Post. A doctor at the hospital, which was not identified, said he saw Omar struggling to recover from an operation to put a stent – an artificial tube – in his heart. He is now said to be at a safe-house run by Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) agency, in Karachi.

From the american article it is all about India

The question is if it is really Taseer demand or American using his name to get their political interest taken care of.

Crucial are, as Taseer argued, political, strategic, economic and psychological support. First is textile tariff relief that will not cost U.S. workers a single job. Second is agreeing to discussions on a nuclear treaty similar to the one signed with India. Third is using U.S. and other major powers to encourage negotiations between India and Pakistan to reduce tensions and flash points whether over Kashmir or Mumbai-style threats.

This is supposed to fix Pakistans internal problems.

Putting in a stent is a routine operation. Looks like the Paks managed to botch it.

Rolling Back the Poison in Pakistan - Nirupama Subramanian in The Hindu

SSridhar wrote:Rolling Back the Poison in Pakistan - Nirupama Subramanian in The Hindu

While I generally like and approve of Nirumapa Subramanyam's views she is wrong here (quote is at bottom)

She asks that the military should come out against the sort of intolerance that Taseer's killing exposes and argues that the "establishment" would then be able to clean up.

As I see it Pakistan's military is split. "Split" not as in two factions about to get at each other's throats but its choices are bad enough for it to do nothing.

If the Paki army supports the Westernized RAPE - the rank and file, from which Taseers killer came, will empty clips into the jernails who do that.

If the Paki army supports the Islamists openly (rather than pretending to be opposed to them), US aid will dry up and the risk of direct intervention in Pakistan increases.

The best "prayer" that the Paki army and the "establishment" who have always served as a "moderate front" for the Paki army can offer is to ask for
1) Allah please remove the Americans from Afghanistan so we can declare victory
2) Allah please remove Indians from Cashmere so we can declare victory
3) If we can declare victory our own yahoos will not bay for our blood and we can give them one more taqiya speech and say "OK we have won everything. Now is the time to declare taqiya and pretend to be moderate to get more aid"

The sooner Nirupama Subramaniam ans the erst of teh world realises that this is what is happening in Pakistan, the faster they will stop hoping for magical means by which status quo can be maintained.

But as the primary arbiter of national affairs in Pakistan, it is the army alone that is equipped to put up an effective political challenge to extremism. For one, it could come out with a strong condemnation of the killing of Salman Taseer, which it has not done so far. It could declare its whole-hearted backing to any attempt by the political government to make changes to laws that encourage extremism and religious intolerance. It could also openly come out in favour of changing the school curriculum and for reforms in the madrassa education systems.

Such steps would send strong signals through the establishment for a clean-up, and to the rest of the nation. Of course, it would mean several changes in the Army's own thinking. It would mean that the Pakistan Army stops looking at the Islamists as an ally. That, in turn, would mean a serious rethink by the army on its own role in Pakistan and, by extension, it would imply a rethink of its India-centric worldview.

At least we should not make being liberal as being a bad thing by calling these Indians as "liberals". These may be people with varying agendas, and different loyalties. Who knows what. If they are liberals, what are the rest of us then? right wing? even if you mean it sarcastically, it is not that obvious. I am of the opinion that we on BRF should use our terms a tad carefully.

from Amrullah Saleh link above..

Well, there's a difference, though, between hands-off policy by the ISI toward operatives and actually running them.

[Saleh]I am afraid the United States is becoming again so legalistic like before 9/11, and that will hurt you.

But you're an intelligence man. There is a difference, would you not admit, between a hands-off policy and actual employment and running him as an agent? Are we talking here about the refusal of the ISI to cooperate with you in going after people, or are we talking about active ISI-led operations?

[Saleh]ISI has created a space for Al Qaeda, Haqqani and Taliban to launch operations. Without their protection, without them tolerating the presence of these operatives to do planning, training and using Pakistani soil they won't be able to do these operations. So ISI knows they are doing it, and ISI is happy they are doing it, because through them, Pakistan promotes her policy in Afghanistan, and the policy is, "Taliban are ours, and they are to dominate Afghanistan."

And we're going to help those who help them by protecting them? By not arresting them?

[Saleh]Sure.

Have you ever arrested somebody engaged in a Taliban operation who was carrying papers that identified them as having communications with the ISI?

[Saleh]Too many.

Can you give me an example of that?

[Saleh]For example, there is a guy called Sayed Akbar. He's an active ISI officer, and he was embedded with Taliban in Kunar. We arrested him, and he's in jail.

Give me another example.

[Saleh]Another example -- my colleagues and the police arrested another ISI man fighting, embedded with Taliban in Farah.

How did they know he was an ISI man?

[Saleh]He's saying he's an ISI man. He gives his regiment and his office, everything.

Can you give me another example?

[Saleh]I wouldn't because we have an expression: When you buy apples, you just look at one, and don't necessarily look at each and every apple you buy. So what is the point going over and over this? Americans know ISI is hurting them.

A most excellent gentleman this Saleh is..

These are not liberals but superficial silly people with no moral compass. To them, drinking, speaking english, wearing suits, lipstick, eating pork etc. are indistinguishable from being "good" "liberal" "secular" pakis. The only explanation I can think of is that fear of pakis / muslims is so deep in their DNA that they gratefully embrace any paki that doesn't have the outward markers of what they think of as aggressive musalmaans, such as beard, topi, preference for urdu over english etc.

Pak teenager paraded naked

Islamabad: A 17-year-old Pakistani girl was abducted, gang-raped and paraded naked around the streets of her village in Punjab province for spurning the advances of a landlord, according to a media report on Tuesday. Local residents said the girl was alone in her home when five men broke into her house and raped her. Her brother told police that Ahmed had been stalking his sister for several months and she had spurned his advances.

More of the stale hackeneyed tripe from Bruce Riedel. It seems to me that US govt & think tanks are embarked on a focused strategy to make India part of AfPak, and con India into giving Kashmir to TSP. First, they paint this sorry state of TSP, jihadi, failed state bla bla. Music perhaps to Indian ears. Then they throw in that bit about how nuke-armed Jihadist TSP is a threat to the world, and then the fun starts. They continue to add that above all, TSP poses the biggest threat to India. True. And then comes the sonata to naive Indian ears: India is on the verge of becoming a super power but for TSP's sickness. And the con job follows. US-mediated piss process betwen India & TSP to find "solution" to Kashmir. Now MMS himself has repeated this kind of nonsensical logic, but how far deep into the Indian strategic establishment have the Americans spread this poison, I don't know.

I have one simple question to Riedel. If nuke-armed, failed TSP poses such a threat to the world, why not US use its power to make TSP nuke nude? Simple geo-political logic demands that, does it not? After all, with a fraction of the threat Iran poses, US uses the very same logic and have rendered Iran nuke nude through Stuxnet, sanctons, military threat etc. Why not adopt the same strategy with TSP? Why does everthing have to come back to India giving Kashmir or whatever else TSP wants from India?

Seymour Hersh unleashed

http://blog.foreignpolicy.com/posts/201 ... _unleashed

Moving to Pakistan, where Hersh noted he had been friendly with Benazir Bhutto, the journalist told of a dinner meeting with Asif Ali Zardari, the late prime minister’s husband, in which Hersh said the Pakistani president was brutally disdainful of his own people.

Hersh described a trip he made to Swat, where the Pakistani military had just dislodged Taliban insurgents who had taken over the scenic valley, a traditional vacation area for the urban middle class. Hersh said he asked Zardari about the tent cities he saw along the road, where people were living in harsh, unsanitary conditions.

“Well, those people there in Swat, that’s what they deserve,” the Pakistani president replied, according to Hersh. Asked why, Hersh said Zardari responded, “Because they supported the Taliban.” (Note: Hersh's conversation is not recounted in his 2009 New Yorker article on Pakistan's nuclear weapons, presumably because it coudn't be verified.)

The veteran journalist also alleged that the CIA station chief in Islamabad, who was recently recalled after his name surfaced in Pakistani court documents and in the lively Pakistani press, had actually been fired for disputing the plans of Gen. David Petraeus, who took over the Afghan war last summer after General McChrystal was summarily dismissed.

"When Petraeus issued a very optimistic report about the war in December that he gave to the president," Hersh said, the station chief "just declared it was bankrupt... internally. He just said ‘This is completely wrongheaded. The policy's wrongheaded.' Off he goes. Out he goes."

"I've given up being disillusioned about the CIA," Hersh said. "They're trained to lie, period. They will lie to their president, they will lie certainly to the Congress, and they will lie to the American people. That's all there is to it."

In the backdrop of Punjab Governor Salmaan Taseer’s murder by his own police guard, a proposal is under consideration that will bring in special security guards from the United States for President Asif Ali Zardari, according to highly-placed sources. a larger proposal is also under consideration by the government to hire the services of foreign security guards for a number of VVIPs including the prime minister, provincial governors, chief ministers, and a few federal ministers, the source told The Express Tribune requesting anonymity.

I think that you two gentlemen have gone overboard without reading the op-ed.

There is not one sentence of sympathy for Salman Taseer in that article, leave alone an outpouring. Ms. Nirupama has suggested just one approach to recovering the space lost to extremists in Pakistan, a suggestion that is absolutely ridiculous. We can and should fault her for that, but not otherwise.

Nirupama and others like her who somehow think that the Pakistani clock can be turned back, have either not really understood the very foundations of the problem or pretend so for various reasons. Salman Taseer's assassination is somehow touted as a watershed event. No, it is not. It is just another event in the continuum that was set ticking by Aga Khan, Sir Syed Ahmed Khan and the like in 1906, then taken forward by Allama Iqbal, Mawdudi, Sheikh Usmani, Sheikh Thanvi et al. In earlier times (17th & 18th centuries), it was set ticking by the likes of Sirhindi, Waliullah et al. These people and their thoughts have reinforced each other and led to the current pass.

Most people believe that somehow the Berelvis are not as frothing-at-the-mouth-corners as the Salafi/Wahhabi/Deobandi/Ahl-e-Hadees (SWDA) and hence acceptable. Wrong. While in some aspects and practices, they might be different from the latter and appear therefore to be more enlightened, the Berelvis are as extremist as their more well known brothers. The following is what Ibn Taymiyya (whom the SWDA revere): ‘if infidels take shelter behind Muslims, and these Muslims become a shield for the infidels, it is permitted to kill Muslims in order to get at the infidels.’.This is exactly the basis on which the Berelvis have carried out Salman Taseer's assassination now. Though a small group (not in Pakistan but elsewhere) has tried to argue that the Mardin Declaration (as it is called) of Taymiyya quoted above was a misrepresentation because of a typographical error, go and tell that to Mumtaz Qadri and see him commit another murder. Such is the hold of some of the concepts of Islam on people.

It is also ridiculous to expect the PA to change the omnipresent radicalism. This is like asking the thief to be the cop. Let the question be first asked if the PA can tackle the extremism widely prevalent within itself. Forget about serving officers, can anybody take action against retired PA offficers like Hamid Gul or Mirza Aslam Beg or Javid Nasir for preaching jihad and hatred ? Chiefs of Armed Forces and Intelligence (both serving and retired) regularly attend the Tableeghi Jama'at's annual conference at Raiwind. What kind of message does a military send when it names its missiles after some of the most savage Islamist marauders who committed genocide of the worst kind, just because they were Muslims and most of those killed were Hindus and most of the places looted and plundered were Hindu temples ?

Nirupama should know better than what she has written, having spent four years in Islamabad. I am always intrigued whether it is The Hindu that attracts people with this attitude or people change after getting a job there.

Sridharji , as usual an excellent piece.

When it comes to image management, the Pakistani army has done a good job. The likes of NS seem to have a lot of faith in it.
As you pointed out, there is common fallacy and misconception that preaching jihad and hatred is seen as something not expected out of the army. We should remind all those who expect it to save the country from this over radicalism , this , their motto : Iman , Taqwa, Jihad-fi-Sabilillah
This should be pointed out to those Western journalists - and we should see the reaction.

SSridhar garu,
Salman Taseer's assassination may not even register in the big scheme of things, but for current politics it is a sort of watershed.

There was a compact between the Pakistani military and the RAPE. The RAPE's part of the deal was to sell Pakistan to the Western elite and opinion-makers, to make the Western elite comfortable in dealing with the Pakistani Army, to increase the level of trust for the Pakistani Army in the eyes of the West. The Army's part of the deal was to protect RAPE's lives and lifestyle from Army's 'other partners'.

Now the RAPE are crying foul, because Army is not doing its part of the bargain.

Moreover RAPE need language, lifestyle, and a facade for Pakistan as a modern state, e.g. as a protector of minority rights (read Christian rights), in order to provide the deliverables to Western audiences, and thus prolong the Western embrace of Pakistan. With this Aasia Bibi's case, and RAPE's own weakened standing, this proposition is looking more and more difficult.

With Salman Taseer's assassination, a man at the core of the RAPE socialite circle, in fact one of their main flag-bearers, and considered to be an influential and powerful RAPE, has been bumped off. And the Army, which was supposed to protect the lives of RAPEs, has not even put out a statement.

It's no wonder that the RAPE have started feeling betrayed by the whole Establishment (Army, Feudals, etc.) wondering whether there is anything to salvage in Pakistan for them.

Sooner or later, the division between the RAPE and the Establishment are going to spill over into the public arena. After the Hindus, the Christians, the Ahmediyas, and the Bengalis, Pakistan has now started dispossessing the RAPEs as well.

So in a sort of a way, another Partition is taking place before our eyes - the Partition of RAPE from Pakistan. It is to be seen what impact it has on Western embrace of Pakistan.
