Come on, thats obvious. India is desparately begging TSP, lets be buddy buddies, play cricket, do trade, make movies, make love etc etc. TSP says no thanks, your best gesture of friendship, indeed your acceptance of TSP itself, is to hand over Kashmir on a silver platter, and eveything else you say follows from that. Now if TSP accepts India's position, it will be only a matter of time before TSP itself will be negated, while if India gives in to TSP demands, there will be no India left after Kashmir is gone. The only solution therefore is one side has to win, no win win is possible because TSP has defined itself as not India.

Would Govt of Pakistan and PA be willing to give this message to Mango Abdul that it is OK for Yankees to come and kill Pakistanis in La-whore and then go scott free.
Till now Drones were killing dirty,illiterate, drug running Pashtoons/Pathans in some far off distant land called FATA ,
but suddenly the drones in the form of Xe operatives have landed in La-Whore.
Paki leaders and Army always brushed aside the complaints saying that they could do zilch about drones flying high up in the sky and that drones were coming from Afghan side without permission.
What would be their excuse especially when a ordinary, blood thirsty,rage filled fundamentalist Pakistani would hardly understand difference between diplomatic immunity and murder by Kaffir.

Moreover if this man is let go, What would ISI do especially when 2 of its own have been bumped off in the heart of the city.
Are we going to see few more NATO tankers going to Ashes in few days as retaliation ?

CRamS, Funnily I do understand Paki position. If they are "NOT INDIA", then there behavior and actions make complete sense. It is Indian behavior that is beyond my understanding.
How much Trade, cricket , Music, Movies, TV shows, Newsroom discussions, Paki Actresses from Hira mandi can help when India cannot give what Pakistan wants.
Better accept this reality and ignore Pakistan like a rabid dog. Terrorism anyways is not going to go away as long as we have weak Govts in power. Like some one said,"Quantity has its own quality", so few deaths here or there are not going to even cause a scratch to political clans unless one of them gets bumped off by PA and thats is our only hope.

VikasRaina, no. Burning down NATO tankers is too small a retribution and a daily affair anyway. Let's recall what Saddam did when Op Desert Storm started. He attacked Israel with Scuds. For Pakistan, whenever GUBO pain becomes unbearable, India is the diversion and the punching bag. I am being serious here.

You slipped something tricky to write in the last part. Have been deliberating on this since yesterday without coming across as non-pc.
With 200 odd lives yet to be avenged and even the mild saber-rattling from Chidambaram ( his talk in Madurai about military strikes next time ) all but forgotten, the political class, esp. Congress, in this country needs a rude awakening. And I will have absolutely no sympathy for them when something like that happens - their apathy can be described as a crime or blatant treason depending on your political leaning.

Ha Ha Ha... I wrote this as soon as the incident happened that Pukes will try to link Pasha's freedom to Mr. Davis's freedom. Pukes are so predictable. We can smell the stink of Puke login from thousands of miles away. But the dumb India media/politicians, US media/politicians can't seem to understand the mindset of this filthy country.

http://www.sify.com/news/musharraf-name ... jaaji.html
According to the Dawn, the court accepted the chargesheet after the testimony of former Rawalpindi City Police Officer (CPO) Saud Aziz and Superintendent of Police (SP) Khurram Shahzad.

The chief prosecutor has reportedly said that the phone records confirm contact between Musharraf and Aziz.

He also said that the former President had been giving orders to the CPO and SP.

Earlier, Aziz had claimed that the order to change Bhutto's security in-charge had been given by Musharraf.

Aziz had also stated that the scene of the assassination was immediately washed on Musharraf's orders.

In Karachi members of the Sunni Tehrik, an Islamic outfit representing Muslim’s of the Sunni sect and Barelvi subsect, are at the receiving end:

Three injured in another attack on ST workers

Earlier on Saturday:

Three ST activists injured in firing on rally

For an Ideological Muslim State and Islamic Republic claimed to have been created as a safe haven for the Muslim's of the Indian Sub-Continent, Pakistan is so awash with religious inspired Muslim on Muslim violence that it is difficult to conclude with any degree of clarity which group of Muslim’s is trying to wipe out which other group of Muslims for not being Muslim enough.

So to which category do these incidents fall into. Sectarian Shia versus Sunni ? Or Sub Sectarian Sunni Deobandi versus Sunni Barelvi? Or something different?

Oil convoy bound for Afghanistan attacked in Pakistan
(CNN) -- Armed militants in southwest Pakistan torched two oil tankers carrying fuel for U.S. and NATO forces in Afghanistan, a government official told CNN.

Azam Shahwani, a senior government official in Baluchistan province, said four gunmen riding on motorcycles opened fire on a convey of five oil tankers in the area of Mithri, a village in the district of Bolan.

Shahwani said the oil tankers were heading toward Afghanistan.

No one was injured, but two of the oil tankers were destroyed, Shahwani said.

"I could see roaring flames of fire even three hours after the attack," Shahwani said.

Now, JI wants Raymond Davis to be tried for 4 murders.
The Jamaat-e-Islami chief, Syed Munawar Hasan, has held the government responsible for the death of the widow of Fahim, one of the young men shot dead by an American in broad day light here last week.

He demanded trial of American Raymond Davis for four murders, and announced that the JI would hold protest against the continuing injustice.

Addressing a Seerat conference at Kingra, near Raiwind, he said if the Muslim Ummah could forge unity on safeguarding the Holy Prophet’s sanctity, the propagation of Islamic teachings and for enforcement of the Nizam e Mustafa, not only Pakistan but the whole world could become land of peace, and tranquility, justice and equality.

Thats the most benign interpretation. Just read what MMS & Co, along with the psec papparzi have to say: these talks are a genuine begging attempt by India to ask TSP to spare India from terror, and in return they will consider TSP demands in slow motion. But TSP is ambivalent on even that because they want a surrender from India to proclaim victory and TFTA superiority. And for US, India surrendring to TSP is of least concern, for them its India TSP equal equal as long as their interests are met.

Indian behavior and motivation covers the spectrum: 1) from de-facto surrender by India (the MMS camp led by US think tanks): some loose "South Asian" federation in which Hindus are rendered eunuchs, while Muslims are bottled up as useful "idiots" to fight on behalf of US when needed, 2) US-Canada type benign relationship in whuich India, like US is the dominant partner, and TSP, like Canada lives happily as a neighbor and prospers (Bangladesh seems to have accepted this model).

The PakiJabi RAPE will rather go up in a mushroom cloud than even think of settling for #2. They want the green crescent flying over the red fort, with some TFTA low life like Salman Taseer playing the role of the last Moghul empror with Hindu kafirs doing his bidding. The west will only be too happy with this arrangement because they can be rest assured that they will be treated as demi Gods by the ruling Moghul RAPE.

Shiv,

Thanks for posting those videos. It is an interesting set of transitions.

More than the language or accent, I'm struck by the differences in content.

Ayub Khan is keen to stress his commitment to transforming Pakistan - democratising and developing a country that had been neglected by the civilian elite.

Yahya Khan has clearly had a few and looks like he is two sheets to the wind, all aggressive, but ludicrous bluster.

Musharraf plays the disappointed father, one who has striven long and hard to correct wayward children to little avail.

India's wasn't just lucky that it had Indira Gandhi in power in 1970-71; it was also lucky that Pakistan had Yahya Khan. Most of the PA's leaders have not been quite as spectacularly stupid at almost every level, and more's the pity.

That may be true in some instances. The easier diversionary targets for the paki agencies would be on their own turf. Hence, anytime the west starts to bear down on the pakis, there is another attack on either a five star hotel or the parliament house or someone known to be a "quasi-liberal' gets bumped off. That gets the liberals in the west into a tizzy and start reaching for their wallets.

We need to look at context of those speeches as well as level of comfort when they were delivered. Ayub gave it when he was in relative comfort of winning election again Fatima Jinnah, Western money was working like steroids for abduls and rapes alike. India was going through some tough economic learning curve. I think there was a rice shortage too during that time. Yahyha was talking with this back against wall no room for taqqiya since everyone new E Pakistan was on brink of breaking away. His Gazi fauj was performing massacre out there. Mushy was almost losing his power his last gamble was to impose emergency. So you can see some level of dejected feelings there

Pakistan brings up 'Hindu terror' again as talks fizzle out
But just hours ahead of the talks, Pakistan foreign secretary Salman Bashir created a stir by backing the remarks made by spokesperson Abdul Basit about India not having the courage to deal with Hindu extremists.
In fact, even as officials remained tightlipped, Pakistan seemed to have put one over India on Sunday also by not backing down from its demand to have a timeframe for discussing crucial political issues and at the same time raising the Samjhauta blast case to undo pressure from India to bring the 26/11 guilty to justice soon.
as expected. :(

Pakistan launches Afghanistan fuel and goods tax
he government of Pakistan's southern province of Sindh is levying a new sales tax on the transport of fuel and goods to Afghanistan, officials say.
The tax will also be automatically levied on convoys transporting similar material to Nato troops stationed in Afghanistan.
The tax is levied on all items that are transported. At the present rate we stand to earn at least five billion rupees ($58.82m/£37.03m) annually from this regime."
Earlier in 2010, the Pakistani senate demanded that a tax be levied on Nato convoys because of "the problems they caused to local citizens".
Usaid will likely meet these requirements. 8)

Pakistanis killed by US official were intelligence operatives: Report
The controversy over the killing of two Pakistanis by a United States consulate employee in Lahore [ Images ] took a new turn on Monday with a media report stating that the dead men were believed to be "intelligence operatives".

The men -- Faizan Haider and Muhammad Faheem -- shot and killed by US official Raymond Davis in Lahore on January 27 "belonged to the security establishment" and "found the activities of the American official detrimental to our national security", an unnamed security official told The Express Tribune newspaper
...
...
he Pakistan government's "tough stance" on the issue was also a "reaction to the attempts by certain elements in Washington to implicate the country's top spy agency, the Inter-Services Intelligence in the November 2008 Mumbai [ Images ] attacks," the official was quoted as saying.

"The government is very angry with the decision of an American court to summon top ISI officials in connections with the Mumbai attacks," the official said. ISI Chief Lt Gen Ahmed Shuja Pasha and Jamaat-ud-Dawah chief Hafiz Mohammed Saeed have been issued notices by the court in Brooklyn after relatives of two Jewish victims of the Mumbai attacks filed a lawsuit last year.
...
...
The security official, requesting anonymity, as he was not authorised to speak to the media, said Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari [ Images ], Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani [ Images ] and Pakistan Army [ Images ] Chief Gen Ashfaq Parvez Kayani [ Images ] discussed the issue of Davis in a meeting last week.

The three leaders "thought it was advisable to resist the US pressure on the Raymond Davis issue and believed the detained American national should not be released at this stage," the official was quoted as saying.
...
...
The government is contemplating to ask the US to waive Davis's immunity and try him in an American court, the officials said. A US embassy official told the daily that the American government had "no plans yet to agree on such a step".
...
...
In a related development, the Pakistan government has barred three more US nationals from travelling out of the country following allegations that they were in the vehicle that crushed a man to death in Lahore immediately after Davis shot and killed the two men.
...
...
The US embassy said it was not aware of these developments. "We have not received any such information on the issue as yet," said Courtney Beale, acting spokesperson for the embassy. Davis is currently in police custody in Lahore and Pakistani leaders have rejected US demands for him to be released on the ground that he enjoys diplomatic immunity.

EDITORIAL: Territorial solidarity for Kashmir
Every year, our leaders and people go through the usual motions without realising that they are not helping the Kashmir cause much with their rhetoric, not to mention that most of this ‘solidarity drive’ is confined by and large to Azad Kashmir, the northern areas and Punjab. The rest of Pakistan — Balochistan, Sindh and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa — have little interest in this cause. The reason is that people in these parts of Pakistan are themselves fighting for their own rights. It was a bit disconcerting to see President Asif Ali Zardari asking India to give up the disputed territory of Kashmir. With due respect to the president, this is not realistic. Dialogue with India on Kashmir, among other issues, is the right thing to do, but to envisage India giving up Kashmir is a pipedream.
On the other hand, Pakistan-based jihadi groups like the Lashkar-e-Tayyaba (LeT) and Hizbul Mujahideen weakened the genuine case of the Kashmiris due to their terrorist activities during the 80s and the 90s, particularly after the 1989 uprising in IHK triggered off by rigged elections. Jihadist groups not only drove out the Kashmiri Pundits from Jammu but also alienated many Kashmiri Muslims. A recent example of this is the murder of two teenage sisters by the LeT militants in Sopore as a result of ‘moral policing’. After 9/11, our military had its hands full. The Kashmir militancy was put on the backburner. General (retd) Pervez Musharraf’s plan of demilitarisation on both sides of Kashmir was something that did not go down well with the militants who carried on with their activities, albeit irregular, without overt support of Pakistan’s military establishment.
realising the facts that there are not really TFTA.
admitting that LeT and HM were terrorists and weakened the cause- that is something.
some paqi brain cells starting to function. :wink:
hope the editor does not become wajib ul katl soon.

kamando was toppled by protests in 2008 due to some highly unpopular actions like lal masjid seige, supreme court CJ issue , nawaz sharif and botox bhutto arrivals.
at least pakis have tasted the effect of bringing down their president.
should it not be paki dawn in egypt rather than egpytian dawn in pakiland. :P
of course it was one off event with no domino effect on neighbouring araps as it is happening now due to tunisia/egypt.
More important reason despite whatever paqi thinks, real araps do not consider the nakli araps. hence no domino effect. :(( :(( :lol:

Burundi
Burundi (pronounced [buˈɾundi]), officially the Republic of Burundi, is a landlocked country in the Great Lakes region of Eastern Africa bordered by Rwanda to the north, Tanzania to the east and south, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo to the west. Its size is just under 28,000 km² with an estimated population of almost 8,700,000. Its capital is Bujumbura. Although the country is landlocked, much of the southwestern border is adjacent to Lake Tanganyika.

BUJUMBURA: Burundian police arrested eight Pakistani Muslim preachers in a mosque in the central province of Gitega overnight, police and local officials said Monday.

“A group of eight people calling themselves Pakistani Muslim preachers arrived… two days ago and started holding unauthorised meetings, day and night, in the Bihororo mosque,”
What about West africa. The muslim population is increasing and they are taking over many nations.

India, Pak claim ‘broad meeting of minds’

http://www.indianexpress.com/news/India ... ds-/747372
Asked about Pakistan’s stand on the 26/11 investigation, Bashir said: “The Pakistan government’s stand is that that any such thing like 26/11 or in any act of terror the perpetrators must be brought to justice. I think we are proceeding accordingly.”

Referring to the Samjhauta blast case, he said: “It is wrong to sort of connote terror with any denomination. That’s my personal view whether it is Hindu or anything. Not fair, therefore, we got to have clarity when we define these issues. Of course, every incident of terrorism is despicable.”

“We condemn it whether it takes place in India, Pakistan or elsewhere. This is a common issue. It is a global issue. It is a regional issue. We have agreed to cooperate to deal with this issue as along with all the other issues,” said Bashir.
