Sorry but I don't think I can help you. I read the newspapers carefully but it's all open-source info. Nothing you or others here can't read yourselves if you know where to look. Welcome to def.pk by the way. Steve

Funny that Fundamentalist was baying about the heat. We've had more MEDEVACS for hypothermia than gunshot. We've had more MEDEVACS for gunshot than IED. One marine had a frost-bitten fingertip. Anyway, it's a grunt war for sure- War The Old-Fashioned Way-WAPO Feb. 20, 2010 It'll be...

Same imagrey was available to Syria and Egypt from the Soviet Union. Weaponry resupply. Same. U.S. resupply didn't stop the Syrians from taking the Golan. U.S. pilots sure as hell didn't FLY for Israel. The Jews did their own dying. Thanks.:usflag:

"As far as I've heard many commentators on the issue, China does not simply give aid, its sets up major projects and industries within Pakistan." And the balance of trade payments with them? "There remains a Chinese stake within the whole deal." What stake does your largest trade...

"Pfft, if Zardari has a chance to sell Pakistan for money,he will. " If Kiyani has his way, you'll have a chance to vote him Zardari and elect somebody better. Not so in Venezuela- Hugo Chavez Wins Referendum Over Extension Of Presidency-London Times- Feb. 16, 2009 "He claims the...

"The Present Afghan government would cheer them on and is probably complicit in all these actions." And the commonly found materials? Everybody makes it. Why would Indian agents use Indian materials when same-same from elsewhere? Odd it seems. How about that long border the Indians...

"...he calls things the way they are ..." Oh really?!:lol: Hugo Chavez Accuses U.S. Of Using TECTONIC BOMB To Cause Haiti Quake-Digital Journal Jan. 21, 2010 Tectonic bomb?:cheesy: He's brain-dead. What's that say about you? Thanks.:usflag:

"the fight is just." Then so is America to fight the taliban and support the Afghans and you. "Imran is not wrong about the Pakistani government taking money and acting like puppets." But you'd be the PRC's poodle? How much aid are you receiving from them? What are your balance of...

Polypropalene may be an ingredient for bomb-making material. I don't know. It seems very, very odd with the common availability of the product through a variety of manufacturers globally that the Indian-supported terrorists would be supplied by Indian agents with Indian products and do so on...

"Is it just yellow journalism or ppl are realy pissed at the Fact that it was Pakistan which caught this high value target.." I believe that most are very glad that Pakistan has captured Baradur. Who appeared unhappy early in the thread of the foreigners here? I'm personally extremely...

"I see no reason to simply accept your POV without credible evidence that the US role was critical in these arrests." Nor I to believe it was an operation solely developed and conducted by Pakistani security elements. "...substantiating one of these accounts, in which case I'll gladly...

There is an Iranian Ministry of Intelligence that engages agents through front companies and other means to collect strategic intelligence globally. They are separate from al-Quds which has a far more operational and training profile. IRGC officers operating in Quds carry more of a...

Sadat's decision to attack out of the Egyptian enclave carved out along the east bank was politically-driven by Syrian pleas for assistance to pressure the Israelis. The Syrians, with great bravery and less skill, were smashed by elements of two Israeli armor-heavy brigades who stood...

The most salient difference between the mujahideen whom did battle against the Soviet Union and today's taliban is that the mujahideen received the support of the world's nations. Not so at all for the taliban. Huge difference. Thanks.:usflag:

"I think the chances that the US was involved are high too - where I disagree is the extent of that involvement and whether the involvement was critical." As we didn't provide the muscle, we can assume there's only a few areas of our possible involvement-target intelligence and operational...

The DAWN story is written clumsily. There are mistakes alluding to Siraj Haqqani's son and to Jalaluddin's son. Doesn't matter. A Haqqani got whacked and that's very good news and long overdue. Thanks.:usflag:

Baradar's replacement won't come from the Haqqani Network unless things have really changed. They're associates but Haqqani has always kept a separate identity. Thanks.:usflag:

"Not to hand over US. nor self court trial,simply handover to mullah omer with courtesy." The same Rehman Malik that was screaming "Propaganda!" the other day? We'll see if the next face Baradar sees is Mullah Omar's. It would seem that the same determination of charges might apply to all...

The thermometer story was simply an illustration. However, I can assure it only varied by 10-15F from the ambient air temp. Lunacy to even entertain this guy's drivel. Thanks.:usflag:

"I think there is more than meets the eye here but it seems to be part of a plan to ensure that this caputre still leaves room for negotiations open..." Possibly. I don't know if you read the NYT article that S90 provided but it indicates otherwise. That doesn't mean that the NYT aren't...
