The current war on terrorism wounded and maimed Pakistanis and Afghans need and in my view deserve permanent hospitals and clinics for long term care of those injured in and by the ongoing war on terrorism. At present a very fine surgery inpatient hospital in Kabul area is serving 50% locals...

I merely posted an article from today's NEW YORK TIMES, without any comment or commentary from me whatsoever. The word you refer to was written by the article's reporter, not by me. I hope this clarification helps you see I only copied any article for background reference so you can see what...

He and his Indian ancestors are Roman Catholics. CORRECTION: I am mistaken. Governor Jindal became a Roman Catholic while in high school in Louisiana. I had thought he and his family were of Goan descent, which was where I thought he was then a life long Christian. Entirely my mistake. But...

I appreciate your suggestion and will do what you think is helpful for the next several days. To remind, I served in Pakistan for 18 months on the staff of the US Air Attache, old US Embassy in Karachi, then West Pakistan, 1963-65. Since 911 demonstrated the radicalization of some Muslim...

"At it's worst" American is still the best place in the world for people to have choices, freedom, including freedom of all religions, and a chance to earn a decent living and to get a decent education. One's future in the US is limited only by one's willingness to study and work hard. We...

It is time to recognize that the nation and people of Pakistan are on the front line, an integral part of the ongoing war on terrorism. Recently a Pakistani Army Major General of Frontier Forces commended need for and helpfulness of drone strikes against the violent Taliban and al Qaida. A...

You must be looking into a mirrow to have such unkind opinions of the US legal system.

Zameer36 has stacked opinions which are his and are not facts with a few circumstancial facts plainly available to the reading public since January 2011 to conclude incorrectly that the US "is the cause and instigator" of terrorism inside Pakistan. "This ain't funny Magee" as an old US radio...

Your view of "announce the verdict as soon as posssible" proves you do not understand or rather subscribe to real justice, innocent until proven guilty. But the issue here is Diplomatic Immunity, which has been attested to by President Barack Obama himself. Keep being rude from Russia...

No one is "half Muslim" there is no such a thing. Obama's natural father, who abandoned him and his Mother when Obama was young, was a Kenyan of part Arab part Negro extraction. His Mother was from Kansas, USA, Caucasian (white)...so Obama was half White, a quarter Arab, a quarter Negro...

Hurray for the Lashkars, brave allies of freedom seekers worldwide. The EXPRESS TRIBUNE is misguided perhaps due to ethnic differences. As a safe in the US American observer of the war on terrorism, which I was once part of before retiring from the USAF active reserve (US Special Operations...

We need to hire mr420 to be a justice on the International Court in Geneva he knows it all so well. You seem to have overlooked the two Paksitani gentlemen who were robbed of their cell phones and cash by the same two now deceased Lahore robbers, Messers Faheem Shamshad and Faizan Haider...

Ah it is the old cattle feet ankle trackers you find barbaric. Instead you would prefer the Taliban terrorist bombing of the funeral of the wife (a non-combatant) this week in Peshawar, where 50 were murdered and over 100 maimed for life. Instead you prefer to object to an ankle location...

The two RB-57Fs were supplied to and arrived in Pakistan in June, 1964, to focus the dateline. These were owned by the USAF and no charge whatsoever was incurred by the PAF for their use. The payback to the US was that these two aircraft were designed for and used primarily for high altitude...

VCheng's post here is very helpful. The article does a good job of chronological and logic organization. HISTORY: The visible advent or start of Islamic terrorism began while I was serving in Paksitan in the mid-1960s. Native Pakistani employees of the US Consulate in Peshawar started to...

Please go to Pakistan Air Force section, and look for my March 8, 2011 posting(s) re the RB-57F in the PAF. There you will find a combat painting with narrative under the picture telling you that the Pilot of this one of the two RB-57Fs was Squadron Leader Rashid Meer and his Navigator was...

It is the Taliban and al Qaid inside and all around Pakistan suicide and car bombings killing innocent Pakistanis daily. Your youthful lack of understanding of international law and Diplomatic Immunity, coupled with your inability to see Mr. Davis is the victum of a failed robbery, stick up...

Yes, I wrote it last year. This thread is meant to highlight some points that have relevance today regarding relationships between Pakistan and the United States. Thank you for your awareness of last year's story-related thread. BACKGROUND of this new thread: I have been contacted via...

Two RB-57F aircraft were provided, free of charge, to the Pakistan Air Force as of about June 1964. These high altitude modified in Ft. Worth, Texas planes were the successors to the old version U-2 which Gary Powers flew out of Peshawar PAFB in May, 1960, subsequently that same day being shot...

I of course read all you post and hoped you would do likewise read all I wrote. I ask those loyal to the nation of Pakistan, where I served 1963-65, to stand up to the terrorists every day, as they are after you and yours inside Pakistan, every day. This entire struggle starts and ends with...
