Indian mind
This is zardari. What do you think. He is trying to fill his pocket before he has to run away. He does not represent Pakistan nor GoP.
New Recruit
U mean Srinivasa Ramanujan ? I'm flattered jk
But seriously, u think GoP will say NO to the US administration and invite its wrath?
pakistani mind
Somehow you boObs think that we're going to tolerate our enemies making war on Afghans and ourselves from your lands. Are you fools?
PREDATOR flies because you've chosen to toss away your rights of sovereignty when you permitted these men on your lands and have allowed them to stay there and wage war for eight years.
You have no rights on this issue. You've two choices that might be implemented together or separately- 1.) shoot them down and/or, 2.) cut off our supply lines.
They're just drones, though. Shoot away. Of course, doing so will make clear your duplicity.
Sanctuary aborgates your rights of sovereignty. Why? Because you've long since failed the responsibilities of sovereignty.
An ousted foreign government has safe haven on your lands from which to make war on your neighbor. Your own tribal citizens like Bahadur and Nazir do the same.
We will use PREDATOR.
Pray we don't choose ARCLIGHT instead.
The men you harbor KILL our men. That's unacceptable and we'll do what's necessary to protect ourselves.
Most here don't appreciate that with sovereign rights come sovereign responsibilities. That includes control of your lands to assure neighbors that acts of war won't eminate from your soil.
When failing to do so, it indicates one of two conditions- 1.) an absence of a writ of state, meaning lawless lands under no functional control or, 2.) the complicity of the state in these acts of war.
Neither is acceptable to the maintenence of good internat'l relations.
We now have, after eight years, the Pakstani govenment admitting what we've all known for that entire time-former ousted taliban government authorities and their associates have been making war on the GoA, U.N., and ISAF/America from Pakistani soil.
Most here now admit as much although most would care to suggest that this is some recent phenomena when it's clearly not. Sanctuary was a discussion literally from 9/11 onward. Without Pakistani sanctuary, this externally-directed afghan insurgency holds no traction whatsoever.
So here it is, as it's long been meant to be-sanctuary, the central issue of this war, IMHO. After all, without sanctuary, there's little purpose to proxy armies. Proxy armies need sanctuary to thrive. If they could generate the combat power of their adversary, they wouldn't fight in the manner that sanctuary affords.
PREDATOR represents the least-invasive minimally-postured means America has available to protect the afghan populace, our allies, and our forces from these attacks. We could do MUCH MORE but forlornly hoping that the Pakistani government sees the error of its ways, we forebear the full measure of our retaliatory capabilities.
That might need to change.

"we shall do the same..."
If so, sir, then you should have done as much to protect yourselves from the afghan taliban and their A.Q. associates following their ouster from Afghanistan.
Many here, of course, suggest that it was America's responsibility to magically seal the afghan borders and capture these men-all with 100+ C.I.A. and Special Forces operatives and some rag-tag N.A. militias.
Of course, Pakistan does have the world's seventh largest army but did it move its forces between 9/11 and the collapse of the taliban (two months) to be prepared for the liklihood that its borders would be awash in ejected taliban?
No.
That's not the only example. Most weren't sure that you'd protect yourselves at all as of last April. Not only had Pakistan aborgated responsibility for FATA and much of Balochistan, but it appeared you were prepared to surrender not only SWAT but, amazingly, Buner to boot.
Only after the screams and howls from the rest of mankind, notably Washington D.C., did your army finally move to defend yourselves from yourselves.
Go ahead. Protect yourselves from PREDATOR and prove that you're an enemy of Afghanistan, the U.N., ISAF and America.
we're being active. Worry about your naxals active in more than half of india, worry bout those saffron hindu mobs massacring Christians in Orissa and bar patrons in mangalore!You are correct. Pakistan has a double standard of defining terrorists.
If they act against India they are called as freedom fighter(good terrorist).
Anyway it will be good for Pakistan if the US strikes continue for next few years. Otherwise the bad terrorists will capture Swat and other areas once again.
They were and are at the eastern boarder were 3000 tanks are waiting to move in to Pakistan
