Raheel Sharif appointed chief of Islamic military alliance, confirms Khawaja Asif

Raheel sharif is our hero and We (PAKISTANI) support him . to be honest we dont care about the iranian concerns and those who are at iranian side should go to iran . :)
 
True.

Although Iraqi war-machine was battle-hardened and well-equipped for an Asian country at that time, U.S. had advanced much further in military capabilities than the rest of the world. Lessons from earlier war in Vietnam and digital revolution were taken at heart.

No country, other than U.S., was capable of tackling Iraq like that in 1991. In-fact, Russian and Chinese analysts had predicted 30,000 American casualties in this war (in advance) but they had no idea what U.S. was bringing to the table this time.

Iraq had committed 50 divisions to the war. It would have thrashed a lesser coalition like GCC left and right. It is often said that Cold War ended with defeat of Saddam Hussein.


My friend,

I see your point. However, I had to point out the overreaching aspect in your argument.

Think about it. Iraq had committed 50 divisions (about a million men in total) to the war in 1991 in order to prevent a breakthrough in Kuwait. And that force wasn't amateurish either.

Pakistan didn't had cruise missiles, stealth aircraft, long-range bombers, aircraft carriers, aircraft with BVR and precision strike capabilities, JSTARS ground activity monitoring system, a huge network of satellites, powerful conventional bombs like Daisy Cutters, Apache gunship helicopters and M1A1 Abrams MBT at its disposal back then. On top of all this, Pakistani military was not in the position to conduct large-scale military operations during night-time or periods of darkness.

How many divisions do you think Pakistan could commit to that war and how would it shift all that stuff to that region in the first place? Could Pakistan even afford to leave its borders with India and Afghanistan largely unguarded in 1991? Can it even today?

Pakistani military capability is no where close to that of U.S. and geopolitical situations of both are also different. We are not a superpower and neither we are in the position to commit a huge force to a war in some other part of the world without compromising our own defensive posture. Not even close.

Overreaching in arguments do not make them credible. Saudi Arabia had thought through the scenario back then and we cannot fault it for seeking American intervention at the time.

Yes, GCC should have discouraged efforts of Bush administration to invade Iraq in 2003. But they all thought that downfall of Saddam Hussein is good for the entire region. They all miscalculated the magnitude and reach of jihadi mindset in the region.

An excellent analysis. I would beg to disagree with some people about the the point that when KSA has actually called Pakistan for the help, they are severely opposing it despite of the fact that we all know financial and strategics benefits comes along with it. But, back there in 1991, when Pakistan was not called for the same thing, people are complaining, ignoring the reality that Iraq was much stronger at that time and Pakistan did not have any thing at all to fight even a smallest battle overseas.

Apart from this, USA did not came for any aid, US was a stockholder in the conflict. If Iqaq would have been able to consolidate its ground in the gulf, US interests (which consists of the security of Israel and control of crude oil resources ) in the region would have been seriously damaged.

It could be a professional jealousy, beside no one is sending Gen Raheel, he is not the employee of Pakistan Govt. anymore and he is doing this in his personal capacity.
 
I think in longer run Iran and SA will have to converge on single point. Old alliances will pave way to new ones looking east towards EuroAsian. Russia China can solve it both for Iran and SA. The real enemy is waiting in shadows to add in territory amidst all this chaos in M.E. If Iran thinks it is safe from assymetrical warfare then it is sadly mistaken. Sooner or later like SA it will be coming to its doors too. The need of the time is for Iran and SA to sit down and settle this non sense.
 
Those who think its wrong should shoot themselves in heads with al this corruption going on in our country they should fix that


RAHEEL SHARIF keep up the good work and wipe these Yemen terrorist so i can here the really sponsor's of terrorist cry next door

Last time UAE asked for troops for yemen, you decided in the interest of sovereignty not to send them. This time if Raheel asks will you be able to deny? They've made tedha their ungli to get what they want. A sinecure post to Raheel to make him feel all important and massage your ego, in return get 1000s of Pak troops to fight in Yemen as a part of 'muslim coalition' leadership.
 
Followers Iranian mulla are not liking it. Had he joined Iranian backed Hizbullah, they would have been jumping high with joy.

Another confused fool, Raheel heading Arab alliance is no concern to anyone and especially Iran.

Alliance is toothless no real men in and full of incompetent fools, nothing achieved in Yemen and nothing will be achieved anywhere else.

Sad to see another Pakistani sell his soul for riyals to the arabs.

Typical Pakistani, resorting to cheap language when faced with reality.
So how much your great ex COAS get paid for his services?

For a few riyals more.

Did we send our Army to KSA No . Raheel Sharif is retired jus like I S I pasha he is in UAE. And even if we send our Army i will support it every bodies opinion is different. You should ask your government why did they do fake.surgical strike which was big insult and that poor soldier who is in our custody
 
Arabs are looking for some kind of miracle .
Gen Sharif is indeed professional .But his subordinates are inexperienced Arabs not his trained Pak collegues.
That is quite doubtful about results.
 
The role is not ordinary. Any success against Iran will be attributed to RS back home in Pakistan.

And who is to do it?, who has the balls to take on the Iranians on the battlefield I don't see any semites coming forward.
