Opinion The Kayani doctrine

I agree with the last paragraph most,
"Apparently, India’s dream of encircling Pakistan is evaporating up in thin air (the doctrine’s last pillar). In all probability, Pakistan’s security challenges are going to become even more challenging after Nato pulls out of Afghanistan. With America gone, militants of all sorts and forms could team up in their attempt to subdue Pakistan. Apparently, the Pak Army does not have much of a doctrine for such a contingency."

guys, you live in Indian subcontinent, so India will be everywhere, especially if Indian strategic interests are threatened. Learn to live with this fact, or migrate somewhere else.

Indian interests are in the process of being FU%ked up right now in Bangladesh, Nepal, Afghanistan and even in Maldives. They could not even manage their interests in Sri Lanka. Pakistan on the other hand has out maneuvered two super powers in Afganistan, contributed to demise of one and the other is not looking too good either. Pakistan did this while keeping its next door enemy India at bay, which is 7 times bigger so go figure? When Soviets were in Afghanistan, Indians were aligned with them and now when the Americans are there Indians are aligned with them but did not and will not help the end game. If one goes by what Chuck Hagel said even the stupid Americans have caught up with Indian silly games.

I was answering people who were complaining Indians interfere in Pakistani matters. All the best for your big games with big boys, we will rather play cautiously. we have no intension to punch above our weight.

Who is this idiot who wrote this article? All these so called 'pillars' are NOT a doctrine except for the last one, ie, 'India cannot be allowed to encircle Pakistan'. The rest are just statements of facts, not a doctrine! :P

Actually, there are a lot of valid points and options in the so called doctrine. The truth is, the US shouldn't be in Afghanistan post elimination or semi-elimination of Al-Qaeda. It doesn't make financial sense. Dismantling the infrastructure and then keeping some special ops there to keep hammering on as needed basis should be good enough post 2014. The US won't just leave.....it'll maintain some presence there. Again, may be a few SF teams for ops on demand.

But once 2014 comes and goes, the Pakistanis will have the power as described here. They've mastered the Afghanistan, Bangladesh and Sri Lankan game so they'll be jumping on the opportunity once majority of the US forces withdraw. Pakistan isn't an enemy of the US. They'll just safeguard their interests against the Indian factor so the strategy has a lot of stuff that's well thought out in it

What matters more is what is not included in his doctrine. He has failed to protect Pakistan from enemies both foreign and domestic. What is the point of having a doctrine when you don't enforce or implement it.

Why is the Army being singled out for this?

What about the civilian agencies, its there job to maintain domestic security and they have failed horribly in that department. The Army has done much better considering how much budget is allotted to them. The current lapses in the domestic security is the failure of the civilian agencies and not the Army. The only institution that should share blame for this current impasse is the Interior Ministry, it is without a doubt one of the most incompetent institution in Pakistan. But ah well, we can't expect any miracles considering the fact that it is run by a complete idiot.

I don't just single out Army, but Interior Ministry is to be blamed, and Government as a whole.

the issue is what is in the interior........


Not entirely them, things like border security, drone attacks, incursion by foreign troops, helicopter incursions, army operations not doing enough in N Waziristan should be blamed on army and government as well.
