Thanks for posting. i read this and it seems that 'our'Cyril Almeida is really confused here but i do agree with your 'contention' that the PPP wants to cut the army down to its size, but every time the PPP or any other civilian govt has tried to do 'that', we know what has been the result.
Kiyani is on record to the US, that 'we (the army) is going to play in our own sandbox'. however history tells us otherwise - everytime the country has come on the brink, politically,economically, and socially, the 'jack-boots' have stepped-in as the 'saviours' and in the current situation, nothing tells us otherwise.
i hope i am wrong!!!
