Corps Commander Karachi

[Jango]

I agree that the responses have been getting better, but unfortunately, the shock value of such brazen attacks and the adverse publicity fallout remains as potent as ever in favor of the terrorists. We must do more to prevent such attacks from happening in the first place, to be just as effective as the responses after such attacks.

That's the whole dilemma with these guerrilla warfare tactics.

The enemy chooses the time, place and force. You can't predict it with any assurance. All you can do is 'guess'. An intelligence report is a calculated guess. Daily, hundreds of alerts are issued, some more serious than the others. Many days of the week, these alerts turn out to be false. But one sticks out and the attack happens.

In this war, all you can do is be prepared. After first contact, you take the situation by the scruff of the neck and suffocate it.

To eliminate it altogether, one has to go into the badlands of NW, which our nihari eating construction worker at PM House doesn't want to do.

The blame for not acting in NW is not the present PM's alone. Previous governments and the GHQ also have a major share of it.

This is called leadership...not some cheap clowns like politicians.

Just as a politician does not lead armed forces in the field, a general has no place in politics. Each must play only their own respective leadership roles in their own respective areas.

The past is gone. No use of sulking about it.

It's the present that needs to be thought upon.

GHQ is raring to go at present. But Mr construction worker still wants to give peace a chance. Let's see what decisions were undertaken at the meeting today.

Unfortunately Pakistani politicians are criminals & thieves...Army has no other option but to intervene to save the country.

I would agree that the way forward is more important, but at the same time we must not forget how we found ourselves in the present predicament. Whatever the way forward, I am sure it must involve a consensus between all major decision makers for it to result in an effective strategy.

Unfortunately, Generals who illegally usurp power are no better than thieves themselves, and therefore just as worthy of condemnation as corrupt politicians. Each must play a role only that is allowed to them by law.

It is duty of Armed forces to protect the country from External as well as Internal threats.

The General is to be commended for showing great leadership and promptly regaining control of the airport. While the subsequent rescue efforts were sub-par specially with regards to the cold storage area fiasco, that was not a security issue. The fact that the attackers were killed and the airport re-opened quickly is a success.

that was tragic to say the least
11 years in war and we got no contingency or disaster planning and SOP.
resources and training is not the issue. its the acknowledgement and the right proactive attitude well thats what separates a third world from the first world.

Actually, no, that is incorrect.

Please read the Constitution. The Army has NO internal role. None.

(Except when directed by government to aid civil power.)

Well said Sir.

Marshal Law needs to be implemented across Pakistan, since all civilian institutions are incompetent and a disease to society, where the blood of the innocent and the brave are slowly being sucked dry by a leach. Democracy has failed and this beautiful country should not take the risk in waiting for its maturity, otherwise Frankenstein would emerge and destruction would follow.

Playboy Imran Khan's analysis of negotiating with these animals has shown that he was wrong in his assumption. The fool advocated on a continuous basis that halting the drone attacks would change the Taliban, but this obviously has failed to take root. KPK has not progressed in development and the only thing PTI does is useless marches, where his followers like Leader have the audacity to malign and attack the Fauj. These men have given their lives for this country, unlike certain individuals who are prone to spread their seed without taking responsibility.

Brazil in the previous decade had a similar problem where the Cartels literally controlled the city as target killings, kidnappings and extortion was a common practice. They overcame this problem by sending in the Army, who would search every inch of the city to weed out suspected miscreants and finish them off. Karachi needs a similar actions for it to become safe again. Leaders of all great Armies lead from the front, like General Haroon Aslam who led the Swat operation.

Constitution is made by politicians...enough said.

Ah yes, the good old "Constitution-as-toilet-paper" fauji mentality that is the bane of Pakistan. What a great pity.

 

[Zarvan]

Mister
you are an idiot sir
without any clue and confirmation Mister you are giving a verdict Sir?


Mister do you know what Prophet Muhammad PBUH said that a proof for a liar is that he passes on gossip without checking it...

dont be a liar Mister.

for the last time his presence in the airport was crucial. ...general or not.. he isa warrior and a soldier.

end of............. Mister

Mr yes on Air Port where from safe place he could have given instructions but he reached the Runaway when operation was still going on yes he is a warrior but he is a General now

politicians have been equally unforgiving and tossed it on the assembly floor when it didnt suit them.
