[Imran Khan]

No it did not.

If you can prove otherwise, more than welcome.

Yes, it was a US Department of State helicopter with a US pilot and Pakistani co-pilot:

QUOTE: "Air Wing’s formal relationship with Pakistan began in 2002, when it was brought in to help “combat the smuggling of narcotics, goods, arms and ammunition,” the State magazine said. The U.S. provided helicopters and “train[ed] Ministry of Interior personnel to fly and maintain them. In general the Air Wing also conducts what the State Department calls “personnel and cargo movement” and “other missions as agreed upon between the U.S. Embassy and the Host Nation,” either of which may explain their subtle involvement in Masih’s case." /QUOTE

The pilot may have been of the State Department, but the Helicopter was 110% Pakistani.

Flown, maintained and parked by Pakistan Army personnel deputed to Ministry of Interior (formerly Cabinet Division air wing). This wing also operates the VIP helicopters used by the PM and other senior government officials.

This is first hand info, not from some news source or website. If you don't wish to believe it, I ain't banging my head anywhere! :p

Look at the helicopters tail, it has a Pakistani flag and a PAA roundel.

If the helicopter was provided by the US State Department, doesn't mean it is theirs' now!

Good thing that you resort to poor humor when your argument runs out.

Good day.

Not at all, I am glad that US taxpayers were able to help the poor girl out.

Just as the US taxpayers are helping the world get it's chunk of democracy huh?

I don't know why I am even replying to you. Maybe it's the US taxpayer money that I was fed on!

Rumours?

U.S. Department of State, Cable, "Secretary's 13 September 2001 Conversation with Pakistani President Musharraf," September 19, 2001, Secret, 3 pp.

Secretary of State Colin Powell and Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf have a telephone conversation on September 13, to discuss U.S.-Pakistan relations and U.S. retaliation for the events of 9/11. The Secretary informs President Musharraf that "because Pakistan has a unique relationship with the Taliban, Pakistan has a vital role to play." The Secretary tells Musharraf, "‘as one general to another, we need someone on our flank fighting with us. And speaking candidly, the American people would not understand if Pakistan was not in the fight with the U.S.'"

Keeping Dr. Afridi in jail is a hard one to explain to the American people too.

...

hahahaha


Talk about spreading $hit by the typical $hyt shoverlers.

This news item is from 2014..

I quote; A photographer at the scene, Farooq Naeem, snapped a picture of Masih in the helicopter, with her headset on, face barely visible through a small window in the side of the chopper. It’s a powerful image, but it also captured something else – a curious detail that a source familiar with the event recently noted to ABC News: a small red patch on the helicopter pilot’s shoulder that appears to say “Department of State Air Wing” surrounding what looks like the seal of the U.S. State Department. The pilot’s face, turned towards the Pakistani military co-pilot seated next to him, is not visible.

Let's hear it.

First of all, its not a TOP general.. its a retired general, now secretary of state, talking to another army chief AND head of state!
Well, the americans didnt expect Musharraf to agree to more than 3 or 4 terms. He instantaneously agreed to ALL 7, including giving bases to USA (so called enemy by most people here on the forum) inside our country!

My point: We are not sovereign. We cant do sh!t without uncle sam! We are not just allies (Israel is an ally..) we are slaves to the dollar
