Pakistan truckers back NATO supply route blockade - CBS News

Even truckers back pakistan's decission..well done

AP) CHAMAN, Pakistan — Sleeping in a freezing cab, running out of money and worried about militant attacks, Ghulab is one of thousands of truck drivers stranded as a result of Pakistan's blockade of the Afghan border to NATO and U.S. war supplies.

But they and the businessmen who run what has been a lucrative trade for most of the last decade say they support the decision to shut the frontier in retaliation for coalition airstrikes almost two weeks ago that killed 24 Pakistani troops in two remote border outposts.

"We risk our lives and take these supplies to Afghanistan for NATO, and in return they are killing our soldiers," said Jan, whose fuel truck is parked in a terminal in the dusty, dangerous border town of Chaman in southwestern Baluchistan.

"This is unacceptable, and we unanimously support the government over closing the border."

QUETTA: All equipment belonging to US officials has been vacated from the Shamsi air base and five drones have been shifted to Afghanistan and other locations, Geo News reported.

It is expected that UAE officials will take control of the air base from Saturday.

According to sources American barracks at the base have also been destroyed and FIA officials are present to check the immigration of US citizens.

The Americans had also increased the runway of the air base in order to allow the landing of large aircrafts.

So Just remind me again whose territory is this "landing strip" supposed to be on?
 
Upping ante, Pakistan boosts air defenses along Afghan border - The Washington Post


“It became very embarrassing for our troops. They were killed like sitting ducks,” he said, adding that the decision had been taken in response to pressure from the troops themselves. “If there is another attack, they should have something to defend themselves.”

“The field commanders have been provided with surface-to-air missiles that can be fired from the shoulder,”
 
NATO airstrikes: Gilani gives nod to ‘detrimental response’ over future incursions

ISLAMABAD: With reports confirming the upgrading of Pakistan’s air defence along its border with Afghanistan, the prime minister on Friday struck a forewarning tone with the US.

Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani warned the US and its Nato allies on Friday that any future cross-border attack would meet with a “detrimental response”.

Gilani made the comments while meeting Chief of Army Staff General Ashfaq Parvez Kayani, the prime minister’s secretariat said in a statement.

“The democratic government will not allow similar attacks on the country’s sovereignty and any attempt in the future will definitely meet with the detrimental response,” Gilani said, referring to a cross-border Nato air strike last month which killed 24 Pakistani soldiers, which dragged US-Pakistani relations to plunge to a new low.

Pakistani security officials earlier said they had upgraded the air defence system on the Afghan border to make it capable of shooting down aircraft. “Now we have a fully equipped air defence system on the Afghan border. It has the capability to trace and detect any aircraft,” an official in Peshawar told AFP.

“The system has also been upgraded to immediately respond after detecting any aircraft or helicopter and to shoot it down,” the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, added.

Meanwhile, Kayani informed the prime minister of the steps taken on the western borders to revamp defence capabilities aimed at effectively countering any future incursion into Pakistani territory.

“The government and the people of Pakistan were ready to provide the armed forces all the necessary resources to bolster its defence and professional capabilities,”
Gilani said.

US response

While declining to comment about Pakistan’s decision to ramp up its air defense on the Pak-Afghan border, Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Media Affairs Captain John F Kirby said that it was a decision made by Pakistan and they would not respond to it.

However, Captain Kirby said that the US continued to want to have a coordination and cooperation system with Pakistan. “We understand we’re in a rough relationship with Pakistan in the wake of the incident,” he told The Express Tribune, saying that they “are very sincere about fully investigating the incident”. He added that the US was working hard on the military-to-military relationship.

Pakistan shut its border to Nato supply convoys on November 26, hours after the deadliest single cross-border attack of the 10-year war in Afghanistan.

The government also ordered the US to leave the Shamsi Air Base in the southwest, widely reported to be a hub in the covert CIA drone war against the Taliban and al Qaeda.

Pakistan gave tacit support to the programme, but no US drone strike has been reported on Pakistani soil since November 17.

Closing NATO routes tells a lot about US-Pakistan relationship: General Dempsey

WASHINGTON: Dubbing the current state of US-Pakistan relations as “strained”, US Chairman Joint Chiefs of Staff General Martin Dempsey reiterated that the US did not deliberately attack the Pakistani border post on November 26. He added that closing supply routes said a lot about the US relationship with Pakistan.

In an event organised by the think-tank Atlantic Council, General Dempsey said that it was regrettable that Pakistan’s military thought that the attack on the border post was intentional. “They believe we did this intentionally, in some way or the other to discredit them or to goad them into further action.” He said it was incomprehensible for him that Pakistan believed that, based on the United States’ efforts to build the relationship over time. “If you think we did, I have to ask, what in the world would we hope to gain from doing this.” General Dempsey said, “As I sit here today, I don’t know what happened in the NATO airstrike.”

Recalling that General Kayani and him were batch mates at Fort Leavenworth, he said that he had spoken to him after the NATO airstrikes, and other US officials had also been in touch with their Pakistani counterparts.

In response to a question posed by David Ignatius, a Washington Post columnist and moderator of the event on the closure of the supply routes by Pakistan, General Dempsey said that the US could work out how to send supplies in Afghanistan through other options, which included via air and other countries. He added that they could adjust the supply routes for NATO, but said it would be more expensive.

“The real problem for me is not the cost…what’s troubling to me is that Pakistan would close the routes and what it says about the relationship…and we need to try and get through that,”
General Dempsey said.

Alluding to the torching of NATO oil tankers, the US military chief said the US does not pay for the fuel until it gets delivered. He said there was a need to understand what was going on.

In response to another question, he said sanctuaries for insurgents persisted in Pakistan, and that the US needed to control their influence in Afghanistan. He also added that he believed that the military aspects of the surge in Afghanistan have achieved their purpose.

:disagree: Just ignore him and he didn't know what he is talking about.
 
If Ge. Dampsey says that he don't know why the attacked has been carried out by his forces on the poor soldiers of Pakistan then he is a damn stpid fellow. He sholdn't be staying at his post then.....:smokin:
 
After the DGMO officially declared this a deliberate act on the part of Nato, its beginning to abandon all pretenses of condolences and regret. The tone is again belligerent and it is my guess another deliberate high profile incident is on the cards.
