1. Apology for the murder of 24 Pakistani troops by the US
...
Not going against our demands or anything, but sir, Hina Rabbani Khar said that we should forget Salala and move on, move to the future. THis is all that the government has been doing. Shortsightedness. Sometimes, the army keeps them in check, and sometimes, it is someone else.
Case in point, the parliament topi drama. Did the government consult the parliament before happily trodding on to their masters in Chicago? Was the parliament taken in confidence on anything else?
The 3 points that you mentioned are valid, but compromises will have to be made. Pakistan cannot afford to bear US led sanctions (God forbid), with the current state of the economy, and lavish spending. The US cannot neglect us out of the endgame, and as a consequence, invite further trouble.
So some solutions that could come up.
Drones: Pakistan does benefit from the drones,
until the Haqqani network or TTP gets targeted, because their fallout is going to come on us, not the US. So, we want the drones to continue on Afghan Taliban, not TTP. We want to take care of the TTP through our own ops, not the US due to reasons above. We have tried to give US assurances that we will bring Haqqani to the talking table, and then try to be negotiator between US and Haqqani. The compromise that can happen is that US stops it's unilateral drone strikes, and takes us into confidence, the we then own up to these strikes, and tell the people that it is us who make these drone strikes now, and we should be having our input as well,
and drone strike should be with out consent.
You have said that already, i.e jointly operated drone strikes.
NATO supplies: We all very well know that the US is not going to straight away accede to our demands of $5000, but the need us at the same time, and we want to get some money. so a middle price around $2500 to $3000 should be okay.
And most important of all, the truth should be told to the people, the people, not Parliament, through a TV address maybe, and then explain all things, such as the drone stance etc. Atleast tell the people what you are setting out for. The government at this moment has no idea what it is going for, when the FM tells to move on from Salala, but then another statement from some other person says to remember salala, it raises doubts.
As much as I hate it, we still have to do some compromises, but a compromise does not mean that the other guy can do whatever it wants.
