The United States has reportedly shifted five unmanned spy planes from an airbase in southwest Pakistan to Afghanistan after Islamabad
...
Geo News reported that Shamsi airbase would be taken over on Sunday by officials from the United Arab Emirates [ Images ], which had leased the facility from Pakistan in 1992.

The UAE had leased the airbase, located about 300 km from the Balochistan capital of Quetta, for use by members of the country's royal family who travel to Pakistan every year for hunting expeditions.

The same so called "civilized world" holds that genocidal approach by TSP, and India's benign approach of helping Afghans at the same moral equivalence. I wonder who is more uncivilized, TSP or the so called civilized world?

This year, a U.S.-Pakistani military confrontation replaces a Pakistani-Indo clash as a top ten contingency on the Preventive Priorities Survey. How did such a shift occur?

Survey respondents believed that the potential of an Indo-Pakistani conflict resulting from a replay of the 2008 Lashkar-e-Taiba Mumbai attack is increasingly unlikely. Correspondingly, relations between the United States and Pakistan have further deteriorated, and tens of thousands of U.S. troops are stationed near the Afghan border with Pakistan.

Pakistan is the one country mentioned twice in the top ten. Given the troubled relationship with Washington, what kind of role can the United States or its allies play in trying to improve the internal situation in Pakistan?

Despite providing over $22 billion in assistance since the attacks of September 11, 2001, the ability of the United States to understand, much less improve, the internal situation in Pakistan is poor. Recognizing the inherent limitations, the United States should continue to increase efforts to build counterterrorism capacity among civilian law enforcement and intelligence agencies in Pakistan, restructure financial assistance, and pursue cooperative efforts that emphasize mutual security threats and goals.

Gauging Top Global Threats in 2012

KARACHI: Pakistan will not come out from the current account deficit without going to international donors, experts said on Thursday.

The deficit during July-September 2011 grew to $1.209 billion from $597 million in the same period last year, they added.

The move by Pakistan government to choose short-term gains over long-term economic stability is risky.

The total liquid foreign reserves held by the country stood at $16,678.9 million as of December 2, 2011.

Foreign reserves held by the State Bank of Pakistan stood at $12.86 billion while net foreign reserves held by banks (other than SBP) stood at $3.81 billion with total liquid foreign reserves to $16,67 billion. This has large portion of IMF $$

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) loan repayments are also due to start from early next year but Federal Finance Minister Hafeez Shaikh said Pakistan would have no trouble repaying a loan of the IMF.

The two teams met in Dubai for Article IV consultations referring to annual talks the fund holds with each member government to assess the health of the economy from Nov 9-16, 2011.

The outcome of the meeting remained flat as the donors asked Pakistan to meet the demands laid down for the release of funds.

Pakistan had opted out of an extension of a three-year IMF $11 billion emergency loan programme. Pakistan asked the extension of the $11 billion loan programme and a new loan programme.

Pakistani officials repeated their request to the IMF officials to grant Pakistan two years grace period to pay back instalments of loans and principle amount by 2012. So basically take loan, boast about forex reserve, don't spend, pile up interest, beg everywhere because now its time to repay, and if that doesn't work then ask for refinance!

The IMF has been steadfast on its stance and succeeded pressing Pakistan to meet its conditions for levying tax on the agriculture sector, enhance energy price and ensure implementation of general sales tax.

IMF had also indicated that the conditions for release of last tranche of $1.85 billion bailout package for Pakistan would be tougher, agriculture expert and Karachi Chamber of Commerce and Industry member Shakeel Ahmad said.

The IMF also put a proposal before the Pakistan that surplus cash crops would be kept under the IMF supervision, he added.

“This will be done in case Pakistan fails to follow the dictation of IMF for levying different type of taxes and increasing cost of utilities,” he added.

Pakistan will start paying $8 billion loan by 2012 and the process will continue till the next three years.

He said due to the continuous increase in energy prices, IMF agreed for releasing funds otherwise the donor would stop releasing remaining loan amount besides it was determined to start audit of the loans accounts.

The rulers on the behest of the IMF reviewed the domestic economy on many occasions by levying taxes and in case of failure the IMF would put tougher conditions for the release of loans, Ahmad maintained.

The IMF has also sought amendments to the State Bank of Pakistan’s act in order to provide the central bank with operational independence.

The IMF wants Pakistan to raise tax revenue from the present 10 percent of gross domestic product (GDP) to 15 percent by 2013, which is peril for our economy. The country’s foreign debt now stands at more than Rs 6,500 billion and in only two years 2008-09 alone, swelled to Rs 9,600 billion.

The country’s debt was recorded at Rs 10.890 trillion by August 2011 from Rs 5.799 trillion by March 2008, showing a net increase of Rs 5.091 trillion or 87.79 percent since formation of the current government. see the rise, almost double!

As the government revenue is less than its expenditure, therefore borrowing of money from both sources would be a continuous phenomenon until revenue increases more than the expenditure.

The government was forced to intervene in the energy and commodity markets to keep prices from getting completely out of reach of the public. This burden of subsidies along with higher security-related expenditures exerted continuing pressure on the fiscal system and adjustment path was affected.

WASHINGTON: Only 90 Pakistani doctors entered the US for work this year – a relatively less number compared to the usual yearly influx of nearly 130 doctors.
This was stated by Dr Zaffar Iqbal, a member of the 17,000-member strong Association of Physicians of Pakistani Descent of North America (APPNA).
Speaking to The Express Tribune on the sidelines of an event organised by APPNA at the Rayburn House Office Building, Dr Iqbal said numerous young physicians applying for visas to work in the US are facing delays or are being rejected by the US embassy and consulates.
The event, addressed to Congressmen, was organised to highlight issues faced by Pakistani physicians applying for visas to work in the US.
“They don’t get their visas on time, and hence can’t join residencies that they’ve been offered,” Dr Iqbal said, while adding that hospitals then become reluctant to offer residencies to Pakistani physicians.
He said that due to less Pakistanis being given visas, the number of Indian doctors coming to the US to work has more than doubled in the past few years.{Heart Burn?}
President of APPNA Dr Manzoor Tariq said that they had held meetings with the US State Department and Homeland Security to urge them to facilitate the process.
Looking at APPNA posters highlighting statistics of the decrease in Pakistani physicians coming to the US, APPNA said that a majority of Pakistani doctors work in rural areas in the US
and provide a vital service to the country.
Addressing the event, Congressman Dennis J Kucinich from Ohio said, “I’m aware of the complexities that surround US-Pakistan relations, but you are our brothers and sisters, and we need to help facilitate those who want to take care of people here”.
On US-Pakistan relations, he said it was a critical issue. “We need to apologise to the people of Pakistan, Nato must pay reparations to the families of the soldiers.”{Pakis are rutheless when it comes to lobbying their interests}
Paying tribute to the Pakistani community in her district of Nevada, Congresswoman Birkley added that the US was facing a shortage of medical professionals, and offered her support to the APPNA to push for more visas for Pakistani doctors. Other members of Congress who attended the event and lent support to APPNA included Senator Bob Casey, Claire McCaskill, Congressman Guthrie and others.
Addressing the event, Tim Lenderking, the head of the Pakistan desk at the State Department, said that it was important to talk to the Embassy. “Pakistan has done a great job in contributing to healthcare in the United States, and we want to support that.”

US-Pakistani military-to-military relations "are a mess" after a NATO strike last month killed 24 Pakistani soldiers, said a top US military official as a think-tank rated a conflict with Pakistan as a potential threat facing the US in 2012, but downgraded the potential for military escalation between Pakistan and India.

Pakistan’s exports have seen a decline of 13 percent on weakening demand of its products in exporting countries whereas the imports have registered an increase of 19 percent in November 2011 compared with the same month of previous year

Analysts said the demand of Pakistan’s products particularly textile, cotton, and leather have been losing their demand in foreign markets specifically in the US and EU.

Now, that's something. The friend, from whose shoulders Pakistan took on the only mortal enemy, its only existential threat, has suddenly become a bigger mortal enemy than the original mortal enemy. How times change !

How many times have you heard US and its lackeys mention that there is a cold war between India & TSP over Afghanistan. Even if there is, the moral clarity ought to be obvious isn't it? How can there by any equivalence between slaughter of men, women, and children by TSP to establish its writ in Afghanistan, and India's building of roads, bridges, power plants, helping Afghan security etc to gain influence and goodwill in Afghanistan so it doesn't become a Taliban cesspool.

SSridhar wrote: LeJ is a Sunni, Deobandi organiztion whose many members practise takfiri-salafi Islam. This attack, in all probability, is not for attaining 'strategic depth' but for killing as many Shias as possible, though LeJ is embedded within AQAM. I think it was for that reason that TTP said they were not involved. LeJ, whose parent organization is Sipah-Sahaba-e-Pakistan (SSP), cannot but be thoroughly and violently anti-Shi'a. The wickedness of LeJ's first Amir, Riaz Basra, is legendary. LeJ's current Amir, Akram Lahori, was released from jail by the jihadi-pasand Punjab High Court last year for lack of evidence in the dozens of cases against him. Since then, attacks on minorities, especially the Shi'a have increased. Of course, LeJ has masterminded other significant attacks such as on the Special Investigation Unit (SIU) office in Model Town Lahore, Marriot Hotel in Sep. 2008, FIA building, American consulate in Karachi in Mar. 2006, Daniel Pearl's murder, two attempts on Gen. Musharraf and one on Prime Minister Abdul Aziz, and the July 2006 London airlines plot. LeJ has deep roots within the Pakistani armed forces.

is common in both countries to see men standing or squatting against a wall or a tree. The amount of ammonia absorbed by the soil must make it some of the most fertile in the world. But women have a harder time. Many girls in Pakistan don`t go to school because there are no separate toilets for them. ( Do they have girl schools)So why can`t our governments address this issue after over six decades of independent rule? After all, this is not rocket science we are talking about. Most countries, many poorer than India and Pakistan, have provided their citizens with piped water and waste disposal systems.The answer, I suspect, is that our ruling classes are basically selfish, and cannot stand the idea of resources being diverted on facilities for the poor. Thus, state schools and hospitals are a disgrace, largely because our elites don`t use them. If we had to send our kids to government-run schools, I can bet they would improve very quickly.
In large parts of Karachi, there is hardly any rubbish collection service worth the name. In Pakistan, an aggressively Muslim nation, this caste continues to bear their ancient cross because other Pakistanis consider it below their dignity to clean the gutters.As a result of social oppression across most of the subcontinent, sanitary workers are forced to carry on cleaning our bathrooms and our inadequate sewage system.
Even when they convert to Christianity or Islam, they cannot escape their fate. But as their numbers are limited, in Pakistan at least, opening new public toilets won`t help as there won`t be enough sanitary workers available to clean them. And yet, our good Muslims have no problem cleaning public facilities when they migrate to the Middle East or the West. You can see them with mops and brushes across the world, working away to keep thousands of public loos clean. I suppose when they are abroad, this kind of menial work does not involve a loss of face or caste.Thus, although Pakistanis insist that we are the repositories of the true faith, we have no compunction in copying the worst aspect of Hinduism when it comes to our treatment of the supposed lower castes. Begums who would be appalled at the thought of using a brush to clean their toilets at home, have no problem in doing so abroad.

NAUDERO: Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) chief Nawaz Sharif on Saturday vowed to unveil those behind the murder of Benazir Bhutto, DawnNews reported.Talking to media, after laying floral wreath and offering prayers at the grave of Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) chairperson Benazir Bhutto in Garhi Khuda Bux, Nawaz said that he had finished ‘no-go-area’ of Larkana today and the next to end was in Karachi.He said government had failed to unveil the culprits behind the murder and vowed to bring the murders of his ‘sister’ to justice once he was in power.He said no political statements would be issued here, otherwise his opponents would blame him for making political mileage.“I have not used Sindh card by holding gathering in Larkana as I have only one card that is Pakistani card,” he added.The party chief also offered condolences with Ahmed Ali Mirani, elder brother of Major Mujahid Ali Mirani, who was killed during November 26 Nato strike in Mohmand agency.
To a question whether President Zardari was suffering from political disease or real disease, he said ‘some disease’ and declined to offer more comments.Earlier speaking at a public gathering in Larkana, the PML-N chief said “Sindh is changing, Pakistan is changing and Larkana is also changing.”Nawaz also said those who ran away leaving behind the dead body of Benazir Bhutto had now become ministers.

Dempsey said that those who were burning NATO oil tankers in Pakistan were doing little harm to the US. "When they torch fuel, it is not our fuel they are torching. We do not pay for fuel until it gets to us," he said. He claimed the US had achieved its "intended purpose" in Afghanistan by reversing the Taliban momentum and added that a recent "loya jirga" or council of elders there sought long-term ties with the US "in a very encouraging way."
