And I submit to you that THE TRUTH! can be a funny thing. As Col. Nathan Jessup (aka Jack Nicholson) might put it: hearing Ms Clinton speak of US 'messing' up Pakistan in 1980's is NOT the whole truth, but a half truth. A more complete truth is that Uniformed & Turbaned power players who...

CH-4 sure looks interesting but not quite original. Falco is okay. Nothwithstanding all these good omen, a UAV system operating in an environment shared by US/NATO Reapers and Israeli-built, Indian operated Heron-2(Machatz)s ought to have more robust specs. A truly comprehensive surveillance...

All I can say is that sometimes one can miss the tiny sapling amongst a big bushy forest. The one tiny sapling that shall bear the fruit that will make the elixir to cure what ails thee.....! .....and yes you will need more money for round the clock surveillance. P.S. All is not lost yet...

Here is a suggestion:- Tax the enormous accumulation\concentration of wealth amongst Pakistan's plutocrats, which you call "ruling elite class". Then use that to co-develop an armed HALE drone with the Chinese, on the pattern of JF-17\FC-1 Thunder Project. As 2014 nears, make a firm...

Mr. BATMAN; you like persistent questioneering, eh? In Big OIL, longterm investment can mean a few things. It can be capital cost which leads to meaningful revenues, e.g. If Iran has no pipeline then it cannot sell any gas. So if there is only One buyer who cannot/will not pay for building a...

"How exactly Iran planned to get paid for its gas?" Frankly, it is a longterm investment by Iran and they must know they will not recoup this money anytime soon. But when you have millions of cubic feet of Natural Gas with no buyers (because of sanctions), it makes perfect sense to build such...

From my vantage point, I urge readers to focus on the last paragraph and its last sentence in particular. Americans have the same problem as the Paks - or mirror image of it. There is simply not enough brain trust in DC that can be focus(s)ed on Pakistan alone - and this has little to do with...

If I may make a recommendation, Pakistan should put away all the aforementioned unremarkable toy UAVs and move up to the CH-4 [NOT CH-3]; now that look like serious stuff...IYKWIM. When that thing flies, it will be the most Reaper-esque drone Chinese have come up with. Maybe after wasting some...

Ah! The Arabs, the Arabs, those arabs...and Iran & the West. Delightful discussion. For a bit of perspective. The Arabs are not monolithic, i.e., one solid uniform nation. Pakistan must understand the nuances, divisions, and cleavages in the wider Arab world. The GCC is one chunk of Arabs...

As the descriptor states it is a "non-binding" vote. US federal administration is not required to initiate any action. A 51st state will only become a reality in the distant future only after a series of complicated political maneuvers [manoeuvres, Brit.]. So hold off on the 51-star flag just...

The Long Afghan War effort has had some successes and few failures. After tonight(Nov 6), the US will begin a review of what has been learned in the past few years about Afghanistan, its people, specifically Pashtuns; its terrain, its neighborhood- with particular emphasis on Pakistan and the...

This brouhaha is nothing but a storm in a tea cup as they say. But I appreciate that Pakistanis are somewhat discombobulated as it is the Grand Khan himself. For US it is a routine security matter. Firstly, it is the prerogative of a sovereign nation to allow OR deny a foreign person to step...

It was in 2010 that Pakistan joined this club of Central Asian/Caucasian States. Yet she has not secured a single worthwhile project funding through this very powerful mechanism. Who is sleeping on the job? Few suggestions: Pakistan ought to be able to get financing for ^ Chitral Tunnel...

Richard Clark is not the final authority figure on Pakistan and South-Central Asia; South West Asia Or Extended Mid-East; all of which can be considered regions where Pakistan matters. US has institutional memory regarding Pakistan; and it is not all good or all bad. Bad ones are bunch of...

Let me think...............................................YES. P.S. Trust me you do not want to needlessly embarrass yourself.....do ya? So hold it in, Putin will come your way soon enough. If you must, and I say this with an emphatic if, then go right ahead and unburden yourself ...

A good perusal of wikileaks would corroborate nabil_05 (Hint: US Ambassador). DRFM package was released for PAF F-16; or more accurately unlocked in the ALQ-211 AIDEWS for PAF falcons. Yet another evidence of good things US and Pakistan can do together without needless acrimony and childish...

A profile of a Pakistani with some expertise regarding United States: [S]he has a grasp on the working of US Government. [S]he knows that it has three tiers. Federal, State & Local (county government Or Town government). For Pakistan, the US Federal government is most crucial. The Federal...

>"Fair enough: Let's see how well this visit furthers Pakistan's national interests. I sure hope it represents more than merely looking for a new john." <Original Post By VCheng >>"yes, hopefully it will be useful and yield something good for Pakistan at any rate, never a bad thing to...
