Welcome to PDF !

I started reading these forums around a year ago, when I first learned about CENTCOM having representation here.

I'll do my best to contribute, although I suspect much of it will be rather cryptic and in broad stokes, given that I'm still limited in what I can share. I'd reckon much of the conversation will be explaining the nuances of diplomatic speak.

Welcome, what you used to do? Btw, what kind of representation CENTCOM has here?


@levina Iss kahani mein mujhe kuch ajeeb sa gadbad lag raha hai.

I second you! What proof is there that this guy is for real?

I can intro myself too by saying that I'm a retired astronaut from the top secret Air Force Space Command having a base on the Moon! Who's gonna check?

Well, probably time will tell whether he's genuine or not after reading his contributions here.

Really? Check this out...

Pakistan lobbyist Robin Raphel under lens for alleged spying

Robin Raphel, a former state department official is under FBI investigation for possible espionage.

The FBI has reportedly searched Raphel's Washington DC home and has also examined and sealed her office at the state department, where she was till recently serving as an adviser on Pakistan-related issues. She was placed on administrative leave last month, and her contract with the state department was allowed to expire this week, the Washington Post, which first reported the story, said.

Well, if you brush all her shenanigans under the carpet, even then she's nowhere near '1st rate' as you say! She sucks! Period!

Your credibility just got a knock.

I think what he meant by 1st rate was...well.....
1st rate - highest rate - highest bidder
