Well in that case you can be certain that the PA is not going to back off ...Sometimes i get a feeling that everyone is playing their own game...and may be the main objective is different what every one shows off.
What exactly is the point of having bases in Afghanistan?I feel that may be neither US nor Pak is interested to do anything to Taliban...because Taliban...terrorism is like a golden goose for Pakistan...It can mint money from rich nation with a fear that terrorist will be created from tribal areas unless it is supported with finance and military wise....And USA need some reason to stay with its military in Afghanistan..so what can be a better reason to stay than wit a reason that they are stabilizing afghan and eliminating terrorist from Pakistan and Afghanistan...
What can Petraeus do that the CIA could not do before him or without him?AM however you spin it.This is what happened and no wonder they are mighty pissed of and petraeus becoming CIA chief is one of the conrequence
he made himself appear as a leader, a speech that Zardari or Gilani should have given.... eerrrrrrr.......
sir your status is army chief, you are servant of the defence ministry, let the political leadership grow and have a truely made in PAKistan leadership !
we have seen you in RD case...
What is stopping Zardari and Gillani from giving such speeches?
Again, who is stopping the political leadership from 'growing'? Who is preventing the political leadership from taking positions that everyone can see most Pakistanis are in favor of? Who is preventing the political leadership from enacting political and economic reforms?
What about the RD case? At what point in time was there any indication that the Army forced the PPP and PML-N to release Davis? In fact, most Pakistani liberal commentators were accusing the Army of using the media to inflame opinion against Davis and make it impossible for the PPP/PML-N to release Davis. The PPP had over a month to declare that Davis did not have blanket diplomatic immunity and put him on trial for murder - instead they fired their own Foreign Minister for taking a principled stance.
Why blame the Army chief when the political leadership, that you want to be allowed to 'grow' is completely gutless and corrupt?

See my post above. Who fired Qureshi? Who refused to make a determination on Davis's diplomatic status?
Even playing to the gallery has its uses - just look at the popularity ratings of the military vs Zardari.
And what is stopping Zardari from 'playing to the gallery'?
Typically 'playing to the gallery' is what politicians do best, since it does not involve them actually 'doing' anything.
Our politicians are apparently so incompetent that they can't even make speeches to gain public support, even if the speeches are completely insincere and filled with false promises and bravado.
Why blame the Army for this utter incompetence on the part of the political leadership?
petraeus as patanjali stated brings loads of experience in and Iraq compared to his predecessor.The americans have already built HUMINT along the durand border and they are gonna ure that for the droning .

What can Petraeus do that the CIA could not do before him or without him?
Does the CIA not function under the control of the civilian administration of the US and carry out its orders? And is that same civilian administration not going to be issuing orders when Petraeus takes over as CIA chief?
You are getting carried away with thoughts of 'US wrath against Pakistan'. Calm down and come back to earth for a bit.
wasnt RD dramatically released?
