US Military Action Could Trigger Equal Response: ISI

Any unilateral US military action against militants in Pakistan will be "unacceptable" and the country's armed forces have the capability to respond to such a strike, ISI chief Lt Gen Ahmed Shuja Pasha told a meeting of the top political leadership today.


Pasha made the remarks while briefing a meeting of all political parties convened by Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani to forge a consensus response to tensions with the US, TV news channels reported. There was no official word on the Inter-Services Intelligence agency chief's briefing.

Briefing the politicians about the security situation and challenges facing Islamabad, Pasha was quoted by the news channels as saying that "political, diplomatic and military channels" should be used to resolve differences between Pakistan and the US.

Pakistan will not allow the situation to get to a "point of no return", he was quoted as saying.


However, Pasha made it clear that any US attack within Pakistan in the name of fighting militants will be "unacceptable" and could trigger a "quick and equal response", Express 24/7 channel quoted its sources as saying.

Pasha reportedly told the meeting that the ISI was not "exporting terrorism".

On hearing this, PML-N chief Nawaz Sharif questioned the ISI chief's remarks and asked why the world community was accusing Pakistan of backing militants, Geo News channel reported.

Sharif said all such issues should be taken up in parliament, the channel added.

Army chief Gen Ashfaq Parvez Kayani responded to Sharif’s remarks by saying that he would address the former premier’s concerns, the channel reported.

The military leadership rejected US accusations that the ISI had backed the Haqqani network in carrying out a string of terror attacks in Afghanistan, media reports said.

At one stage, Mehmood Khan Achakzai of the Pakhtunkhwa Milli Awami Party told Pasha that if the ISI wanted, it could usher in peace in Afghanistan in a month, news channels reported.

The first rule of War :: Never underestimate your enemy. The US is the single largest lethal machine that can wipe off your defenses in the blink of an eye, coming on the back of 2 wars in your own backyard. Heck, even the USAF 5th fleet is sufficient to wipe them off. And look at the Mil. Bases in the Middle East.

. Does Pakistan have this quantity in Pakistan itself ?

Why dont you keep your ego to yourself,we dont need your advice as to what will happen, if such a scenario does come to fruit, then you can sure bet nuclear weapons will be used as a last resort and irreparable damage will be done to America and India put together. America will commit suicide if it was to go that far and the middle east would not like to entertain America's insane war.

I hope that China is willing to go all the way to defend Pakistan against America. With all those BJP people in the Indian government, I wouldn't be surprised if India cheers an invasion of Pakistan.

Great lest put a GPS location into our F16 , Mirages, and Thunders and tell every one to make sure these stars are the location you need to say

Assalamu Alikum like Obama did when he came in Egypt and promised peace

Or you know what save the airforce the hassle and just launch few dozon nuclear tip missiles to each of these stars ... and use the stealth versions of missiles

Yes, US can destroy Pakistan defense beyond repairs, but it may not have the ability to do an Afghanistan in Pakistan

A foreign concept to you, but I feel it is important that this piece from history must be listed.

When God led the people of Israel away from Egypt, they came to a land (Syria most probably).
The people who lived in that land were the strongest that God ever created, who used to uproot trees with their hands.
God told the people of Israel to enter the city to test the Israelite.
People of Israel refused and said those people are much stronger than us, thus Moses you and you God go and fight.
In response to this, God punished the people of Israel very very severely.

Lesson learned " Don't be intimidated by how big and powerful the enemy is; IF you fight for the cause of God alone, then success is guaranteed once God has tested you"

The basis of Muslim teaching is to look at every thing that the people of Israel did wrong, and avoid those things.

Thus a MUSLIM shall not and will not be intimidated; he will do as he is commanded by God, and leave it to God to make ways and means for victory.

Who do we trust ? God who created us ? or our own analysis and machines ?

and then pakistan can damage USA that they will be unable to sit in asia for long time .when damage will start then you think we will wait to nuke kabul even ?

 

[The HBS Guy]

Unless Pakistan drones LA or fires mortar shells on Manhattan, no response can be truly 'equal'.
