Defa-e-Pakistan council is yet another puppet of our military establishment being patronize by our men in uniform. The banned militant organizations are now doing demonstrations all across Pakistan and again enjoying the state (i mean Militray) partnonizing .
Our military establishment will dump them once again as always as soon as they settle their new terms of engagement with USA. Our military can't afford to live and survive with out US aid.
It is obvious and very clear to every one in Pakistan that our military establishment is more anxious to open the NATO routes than NATO itself. PA want new honey moon with USA like they had after 9/11.
Today, in an Express talk show, Hamid Gul stated that
no banned organisation is present in the ranks of Defa-e-Pakistan council. He said that there may be some members of any banned organisation attending the rallies, but, this can not be stopped. Attendance in a rally is not 'invitation only'.
As far as I know, the US
military aid to Pakistan has already been discontinued, and PA chief Kayani says that it does not affect the army in any way.
According to Hamid Gul, Defa-e-Pakistan council is made to
stop the opening of NATO routes. It is trying to boost the
civilian participation in bringing the US-NATO alliance to the terms of PA.
It is unlikely that there will be a honeymoon with USA considering the current circumstances. During the Afghan war the target was same for US and Pakistan;
Demise of USSR was achieved and then the aid stopped and Pressler amendment ensued.
During the WoT, the target was
break-up of Pakistan; it has not been achieved and US is bitter but adamant. Pakistan is now fully aware and expanding it's regional relationships and reducing it's dependence upon US aid and trade.
Probably the sequence of events was supposed to be: terrorist infiltration -- armed insurgencies --- separatist movements --- state mismanagement through sold out leaders/bureaucrats; media created disenchantment and doom and gloom scenarios --- creation of a negative image of Pakistan Army by yellow journalists, local and foreign media --- civil unrest with involvement of Pakistan Army that would lead to a civil war (create a situation similar to East Pakistan in 1971) ---- Total Chaos --- Nuclear Safety concerns and disarmament --- Cessation of Khyber-PK, Balochistan --- Indian Cold Start to a full blown war on de-nuked Pakistan --- Total break-up of Pakistan and it's use as a base for encirclement of China.
Rana Sikandar, as you say: Poor pakistanis are spending 5 billion dollar every year to feeds these cowards who cant defend them against (USA, NATO, India, ALqaida, Taliban). You also provide an answer here that how tough would it be to defend the country with
$5 Billion budget when the budget of it's opponents is
~$1 Trillion; that is 1:200.
