hamidm #25 And after all these years, you still read jay thakeray's ramblings from the Asylum for Post-1947 Stress Disorder Sufferers of India? I am shocked at your depravity sir at taking joy in the sufferings of this miserable man.

This peonofthewest should more aptly be termed scionofthepest.

Do we really need more hind000s here? Gimme a break.

Least serious interactors like tahmed32 and some other could do is not to encourage these pests.

hamidm2,

Lick your wounds. Right after the Prime Ministerial vote of confidence today: (1) Frontier Crimes Regulations Act is repealed which the unwashed lowly 'Qabailis' had been demanding for long (2) ALL serving armymen,seventy plus of them, WITHDRAWN from Civilian posts, (3) Cabinet restricted to 1600CC cars and economy class air-travel; and (4) Wheat support price raised to help the farmer and as incentive to plant wheat.

This is how fast decisions are made in public interest ... instead of the 'Unity of Command' of your Massah!

Suicide Bomber Zindabad. Without him none of this would be possible!Howzzat?

Re: # 41 zeemax

The speech was too little and too late. All these "kar diya jaiga..." are quite pathetic. I think politicians are under the impression that they have taken over a new government as in normal circumstances. The circumstances however are anything but normal and require parliament actions on war footing.

- There was not a single word uttered about deposed judges.

- There is no single word on constitional f/u that happened in the martial law called Emerdency+

- The FCR Act cannot be repealed by PM speech only. It requires 2/3 vote on both houses.

- Musharraf's future was not mentioned at all.

- The word on future of pakistan as client state of US and its role as US' errand boy were too ambiguous. As a matter of fact PM used the same slave-speak when he said that "war on terror is our war" (no its not asshole).

- There was no word on the massacre of school girls in Jamiah Hafsa and bringing the perpetrators of the worst tragedy in pakistan's history to task.

- There was complete failure to recognize that people want the heads of these criminals on platters who have wronged pakistan for 8 years and now trying to get away as punjabi phrase goes "neeway. neeway ho ke nikal jao"

I found the speech disgusting, inappropriate and short of what people has been demanding for the past year and half.

It is shameful that by postponning the session of NA indefinitely at this crucial time in history. These politicians are giving the a/h mushraff time to further entrench himself and other foujis criminals who have butchered pakistani citizens to get away with impunity.


I think these newly "elected" politicians have forgotten that the guillotines are still chasing them. There will be no peace without justice. Politicians still have the choice - stop being frotmen for fouji criminal enterprise or get ready for guillotines. Guillotines are not going away soon.

US offers Pakistan assistance, warns on militants

Augustine Anthony
Reuters North American News Service

Mar 28, 2008 12:19 EST

ISLAMABAD, March 28 (Reuters) - A senior U.S. official visiting Pakistan held out the prospect of increased assistance for the new government on Friday, while stressing the need to work together to fight al Qaeda and Islamist militancy.

U.S. Assistant Secretary of State Richard Boucher said there were militants in Pakistani tribal areas planning attacks on Pakistan, Afghanistan, Europe, the United States and elsewhere.

"We want to move together to help Pakistan be safe and have economic opportunities and we want to move together to make Pakistan a success as a democratic society," Boucher said.

He made his comments at a joint news conference with Asif Ali Zardari, the widower of assassinated former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto, whose party leads the new coalition government.

"So, as the government lays out its plan, in that regard, we will look for the proper ways to support," he said. A body of opinion was forming in the United States that Pakistan should get more assistance, he said.

Boucher and Deputy Secretary of State John Negroponte arrived on Tuesday, a few hours before Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani was sworn in to lead a coalition government that aims to change the way counter-terrorism cooperation with the United States is conducted.

Their visit angered many Pakistanis who saw it as an attempt to influence the new government and shore up President Pervez Musharraf, who came to power as a general after a coup in 1999.

U.S. ally Musharraf has become increasingly isolated since his allies lost a February election and there is speculation that he could be forced to quit within weeks or months.

"OUR WAR TOO"

Until he gave up his dual role as army chief last November, Musharraf had represented a one-stop shop for the United States regarding operations ranging from renditions of al Qaeda suspects to missile strikes by CIA-operated drone aircraft.

A source close to the new government said the U.S. military has problems adjusting to dealing with institutional mechanisms that Pakistan's new leaders want to put in place governing the scope of cooperation.

Pakistan needs as much financial as it can get. A World Bank report released on Thursday said rapid adjustments and reforms were needed to avert an economic crisis as it suffers from the impact of high international oil and food prices.

U.S. assistance to Pakistan since it joined Washington's war on terrorism in 2001 totalled over $10 billion, most of it for the military. Another $750 million has been earmarked for security and social sector projects in the tribal areas.

Boucher said the United States understood and was ready to support a broad-based, multi-faceted programme to counter the problem of terrorism and extremism in Pakistan.

Helping the United States hunt al Qaeda has brought Pakistan's army into conflict with its own people, and tribes living in the semi-autonomous lands along the Afghan border have been alienated by Musharraf's policies.

The militants intensified a campaign of violence to destabilise Musharraf after troops stormed a Islamabad's Red Mosque last July to crush an armed student movement.

Suicide attacks have multiplied, and almost 600 people have been killed in militant related violence so far this year.'

Speaking three months after his wife's murder in a suicide bomb and gun attack, Zardari said it was "Pakistan's war as much as anybody's else's". (Writing by Simon Cameron-Moore; Editing by Jon Boyle)

#42 Posted by Urstruly,

Sir have a heart. The restoration of judges is a done deal and is clear in the Murree Declaration i.e within 30 days from formation of Government which is on Monday. The countdown starts from Monday. There's no Government yet ... only a PM!

Re Jamis Hafsa, there was a demonstration today by the Jamia Hafsa girls outside the Parliament who were interviewed by Asma Shirazi, and they said one of the major coalition partner (meaning PML-N) has won elections in their name and they better put up with a compelte enquiry into the operation and rebuilding of the institution. When asked whether they'ld have any option if they didn't? They said ... we have confidence in them for now! So ... This will be done too ... otherwise guillotines (i.e. public ones which you defined) will indeed appear!

(P.S. Khwaja Saad Rafique has just confirmed the rebuilding of Jamia Hafsa to Hamid Mir on GEO while I was typing).

Re FCR, it was announced it is DONE, not going to do. The PM knew when announcing it they already HAVE a 2/3rd majority in Senate as well which will appear when required.

Re WOT, what he means it is our war is not that the GOP will continue the military operation. It means they will negotiate as already clearly told to the US delegation by ever single coalition member.

Patience my friend. Everything can't be done in one day. Guillotines is always an option ...

Having said the below, Justice Khalil Ramdey's stuff in the Judge's Colony residence in Islamabad has been thrown out on Dogar's order. (He himself is in Lahore and only a servant was there) Sherry Rehman says this order didn't come from Prime Minister.Developing story.

zeemax,

..... but did you hear what sherry rehman said about the witches of jamia hafsa ? ....... i think, deep down in her heart, she agrees with me that a fity thousand pounder bomb would have been a better solution .... it is too late for that now, but sterliztion is still a viable option ........
