Second hand F-16s being negotiated with Belgium and Netherlands will be given MLU which will bring them atleast to the standard of Block 50. Add to that the new F-16s (Block 52) that our airforce will buy and there you have a solid offensive punch. J-9 is nowhere close to that and will be a...

Well wherever I read it, I never got aroud to saving the link or anything. And I cannot find it anymore. My sources are skeptical about it as well so I'd advise not to read too much in to this.

First of all, I'm not taking anyone's side (let alone Israel). I'm was just telling you what I found out from people in the defence and political circles. You can give me any sources or links that you want but I'd prefer the words of those people any day over any media links...

sigatoka, I would urge you to read my posts a hundred times before replying to them since you do not seem to be understanding my points well. The post of mine that you are quoting dealt with the religious part of a society only. Ofcourse fanaticism can be of sorts, no doubt about that...

The natural extension to my arguement couldn't be flawed as it was Pakistan specific and the time frame I discussed was from the time Zia Ul-Haq came in to power to this present day. Obviously the 'mullah' factor does not apply to the 'world' scenario.

Agenda or no agenda; atleast they're doing something to increase the welfare of citizens. If the government and its agencies cannot provide such programs for the local populace, it is useless to criticize those who are doing it.

I dont think I said anything different. Blockading Gwadar would take much more effort from the IN and could possibly be impossible to achieve given how far Gwadar is from India's closest naval base.

Zeeshan, if that person told you this, that means he was allowed to share it. If he wasn't allowed to share it and he still did, then he is not a professional and could well risk his entire carrier over this (which is why I think he was already allowed to share it). Officials only spill...

Relax Janaa, sigatoka's post has been edited to inform him of a few things. He was trying to patronize me when infact what I said and meant to imply was quite different from what he has up his mind (I believe).

There was no 'name' reason for picking The Hindu. Its because most of the time its stories are just spiced up to make it sell with anti-Pakistan propaganda taking the lead. As far as some miscreants creeping back in to Pakistani territory, well it takes two hands to clap. If just...

The 'please see' section at the end of my previous post already mentioned that fellaz. Anyways, thanx.

Guys, please keep respectful Signatures as it is part of online etiquettes.

No one speaks about it? Hardly! Everyday there are interviews by US congressmen and other senior politicians that US has blown a hole in the NPT by doing this. And now Mr. Manmohan Singh accuses Australia of double-standards because it supplies uranium to China but not to India. I ask him...

I hardly want to be drawn in to this at the moment. You should ask the person who first made the claim. I have other things to look to as of now. Although I will try and see what I can find for you.

It is pointless to discuss Naval blockade of Pakistan when currently the atmosphere is of peace and in the imminent future Gwadar port would come up and take over the more important role from Karachi. It would be thrice as difficult for the IN to blockade Gwadar than Karachi at the minimum.

I think I was trying to steer the discussion that way Zeeshan before 'sigatoka' came up with a ridiculous post and derailed it.

The most basic flaw of the opening article is that it takes off by talking about 'buying an elite gaming computer' and the author uses that to compare Purchasing Power Parity between the UK and Pakistan. PPP is always measured by taking in to account 'needs' and not...

None of the Scorpene's have been inducted as work recently started on the first one in France. Pakistan was wise to get back to the drawing board immediately and is already looking for a sub to counter the Scorpenes.

I'm afraid either you do not read news properly or rely too heavily on sources like The Hindu and other newspaper in your country which only sell because of their Pakistan-bashing. Army is still launching attacks to completely rid the area of foreign elements which have creeped back in to...

Securing one's interests isn't foolish but doing it at the cost of jeopardizing all international standards on nuclear tech-sharing is just ridiculous. It means all that US stood for (its opposition to nuclear tech-sharing countries on the grounds of proliferation) was just hypocritical...
