#93 by tahmed32,

Because they aren`t scared, even though they`re being herded away by men if you look closely.

#94 election of the president preceding assembly elections is as fake as are these the two filmee heroes you said are fighting iin ``hail of bullets`` (for reason provided in #93). who by the way are as fake as those ``muslims`` seeking to ``impose sharia`` whose picture you posted.

Why not post pictures of professional fakes (e.g. some bollywood filmee heroes) rather than these amateur fakes?

Re: # 26
I like how you call it soul searching. For sometimes it feels that my nation has lost its soul...

#95 zeemax: you mean the laws of physics do not apply in that picture - the ``hail of bullets`` those two boys are gloriously posing...I mean covering themselves against by hiding behind a tree...is not killing the rest of the crowd?

AUTHOR:

<<< The red mosque is a stones throw away from the ISI headquarters. What is more, a number of ISI staff are said to offer their prayers on its premises regularly. Was our intelligence agency not aware of how these weapons and rockets were procured by the mullahs at the red mosque? Were our intelligence officers really that busy invading the personal life of the CJ and other officials, however corrupt they may be? If mosques and madrassah’s in the CAPITAL that are situated in the shadow of our intelligence force cannot be controlled, how do you hope to control similar monsters across the country? >>>




Hey, Hey Hey !!!!!!

Have you not considered the most likely scenario of the entire Lal Masjid thing being a creation of the establishment (read Mush+ISI)? This is where the rest of the world is putting its money.....

After all, the Mush had solid reasons to concoct a crisis that would :

1. Divert attention from the CJP affair.
2. Occupy Media headlines for a few days.
3. Make him a hero in the eyes of the liberals/moderates.
4. Paint him as a credible ``anti-mullah`` alternative in the eyes of the western world (read US).

Mush managed to accomplish all of the above quite successfully. The ``motive`` angle is therefore fully established. No evidence as to why he was not behind the sordid drama has been furnished. In all likelihood, it was the ISI which actually supplied the munitions and the ``motivation`` as well as the money to the GZ brothers. And what better place to have a controlled experiment than the ISI Hq (or close proximity thereof).

And then, dear author, you come out with a passionate plea to the perpetrator himself...

Let us not be naive. Let not simple shenanigans decieve us.

#97 no generalized wailing please about the ``nation losing its soul``. Be specific.

#98 by tahmed32,

I don`t know what you mean here. Didn`t they resist for a week before the final assault came, and resisted that too for two days with light weapons as those you see here?

okha #99`` ``And then, dear author, you come out with a passionate plea to the perpetrator himself... ``

Precisely. Musharraf`s stock is high again (internally and externally) thanks to these stupid maulvis. I dont think he needs to pay them, btw, since they are so stupid he has been playing them for free. Now the chief justice`s job of restoring the rule of law in Pakistan has taken back seat to the shenanigans of the mullahs.

There was a Senate hearing Thursday on Pakistan that I heard over public radio - and the senators had almost the same questions about Musharraf as the Chief Justice does. The Bush representative there (Boucher, who was obviously a babe in the woods as far as Pakistan is concerned) had no real answers.

#98 zeemax: I was referring to this picture you posted where you said these two fellows were hiding from a ``hail of bullets``. Look carefully at the picture, and you will see that what I mean by the laws of physics being suspended in that case - since that hail of bullets is not having any effect on the crowd behind these two.

tahmed32,

This photo is from the first day hostilities began on 3rd July. Here`s the link. Read the story by TIME`s Aryn Baker.

You want to take away ninety-nine percent of her fun?!

BTW, a soul is a terrible thing to waste!

#105 zeemax, it may be from the first day of hostilities. All I am saying is - those two boys are merely making filmee hero poses for reasons I have provided.

bjkumar #106 In that case, sir, perhaps you can play a sad tune on the violin while the open letter is read out to General Musharraf.

#108 by tahmed32,

Yeah ok. But I still want you to read that Time Magazine link provided in #105. The reporter, Aryn Baker, was inside Jamia Hafsa at that time.
