A very beautiful reply to my Christmas best wishes to you all. Thank you!

At age 72, sitting in the USA, I look back on two USAF active duty era Christmases spent in Pakistan. Christmas 1963 was spent both in Karachi, where I was based at the US Embassy, and in Peshawar, my higher headquarters. In Peshawar, Air Chief Marshal Ashgar Khan brought the Pakistani...

I agree with all who say wait for NATO/ISAF documented facts before trying to discuss the undiscussable.

Religion and secular society need to be apart as in separate in all nations, to include Pakistan.

It is sufficent for me as an outside Westerner that a key inside Pakistan al Qaida leader has committed suicide. The other facts regarding what was found and such in his apartment are classified types of information usable to track down more al Qaida. Bottom line for me is if a guy is on the...

Thank you for the gracious condolence statement and your pro-democracy and freedom expressions here.

My friend from Karachi, where he owns a home, just came back to the States to spend time with his son and grandaugher. So, his comments to us over dinner in our home, he being our guest, were fresh from Karachi as of one week ago. Obviously anyone else such as yourself living there has first...

CORRECTED FOR TYPOS VERSION. Karachi defended by various political parties against terrorists A very good Pakistani friend of ours has recently returned from several months in Karachi. He told us that various parts of the huge city of Karachi, where I was stationed at the old US Embassy...

A very good Pakistani friend of ours has recently returned for several months in Karachi. He told us that various parts of the huge city of Karachi, where I was stationed at the old US Embassy 1963-65, is an armed camp, with various parts of the city under the armed protection of the various...

Talking is always the way one finds a compromise path to a brighter future for all nations, which number more than just Pakistan and India, in SW Asia. Good luck to all in the high level talks. You all might want to read THE ECONOMIST (London magazine) July 23rd-29th 2011 issue, article...

Man if you don't yet understand the murderous mission of al Qaida, of the Wahhabi version of radical Islam out of Saudi Arabia, you by all means should join it and be on the front line of attack against the bravel PA!

Whatever works to improve CIA-ISI coordination and to improve and resume allowing US personnel into Pakistan with proper diplomatic immunity credentials is a step in the right direction. The pathetic Malik excuses to avoid the hard facts of terrorist pockets in the City of Karachi are not...

For the few pro terrorist religious heretics who harm the good name of Islam by enabling and supporting terrorists who murder their fellow Muslims, which fellow Muslims in many cases do practice Peace, it is a shame you spend your limited time blaming the world at large, NATO, whoever instead of...

It is the masses, grassroots people of Afghanistan who we are enableing. When they win, as is the current case, then we by definition are winning.

LeGenD, as you are in Lahore (where I have visited during my active USAF service 1963-65, the era before there was an Islamabad and when our US Embassy, where I worked, was in Karachi, then West Pakistan, then you surely know that there are about 5 major groupings of Taliban, all of which are...

Foxbat, you are right on target. Can anyone in the free world dream that media informatin is more accurate or honest inside the Pakistani media and press? Folks who think that are outside the realm of reality.

War on Terror Update 52% Say U.S., Allies W inning War on Terror Saturday, July 09, 2011 Confidence that that the United States and its allies are winning the War on Terror soared following the capture and killing of Osama bin Laden and has remained high ever since. The latest...

Someone didn't do well in 8th grade arithmetic. If the Taliban now can roam freely in the northern parts of Pakistan; in parts of southern Afghanistan with the combined new Afghan national army, the NATO forces and the Frontier Corp and other PA personnel on the Pakistan side of the Afghan...

The moving around of PA when and if focused on the common enemy, the terrorists, works well. Pakistan has a very professional Army which when applied by the top leadership, military and civilian. does a good job. But on again, off again, with no permanent garrisons to back up local security in...
