Hamidm sahib:

".... sorry, you lost me ..."

It is about billions that Obama Biden are allocating for Pakistan. Where will they go? Certainly not in Kashmir, certainly not in Karachi, but in FATA and Swat most likely. The riches is coming there, Hamidm sahib to hopefully divide and conquor.

Yaar, the only "girlfriend" I have on this site is Jodhabai and whatever you do, don't get HER upset -- or she will stick one down your rectum faster than you can say "baap-re-baap"!

Re: # 155

Well, Hamidm2, I must agree with your grandma. I strongly recommend that you keep away from sadhus! They are no good for you. (Except for the ganza part which, based on your past interacts, is mere adrakh for you!)

Hamid mian,

Do you remember the discussion we had on the US financial war with China. Well, now The Economist is suggesting the same thing:

China and America
War of words

Jan 24th 2009 | WASHINGTON, DC
From Economist.com
Economic tensions between America and China are rising—at exactly the wrong time

http://www.economist.com/finance/displayStory.cfm?story_id=13005072& source=features_box1

Although China still runs a huge current-account surplus, it is no longer accumulating foreign-exchange reserves at a rapid clip, as capital is flowing out of the country.

Hamidm sahib:

You might like to be more concerned about where all that civilian billions will be going in Pakistan. Certainly they would not be going to slumdogs of Karachi.

You might find that Abdali's gene pool providers start driving Mercedes along with Zardari, and Viagra may be more freely available in Peshawar than Michigan. Between you and I, days in Pakistan army for get rich quick scheme are over, but more golf and fishing trips to Swat and FATA may be coming.

My brahmim and bania instinct tells me that concentrating on geneology that traces to Abdali and not Gopinath to Kashmir has higher chances of succeeding and pay off.

You probably can Kashmir to Romair and his proper Visa track III. This approach will do wonders for Kashmiris and other muslim Indians.

Re: # 161

nb,

i don't believe you because, apart from indiana jones and my grandma, i have heard some real nasty things about india from other sources ......my brother-in-law, who works for the irc, has been to delhi many many times ...... every time he comes back to islamabad he heaves a big sigh of relief and proceeds to describe the squalor and wretched misery of delhi and tells his twelve year old, "thank quaid-i-azam ..... but for him you could be living in delhi!" ....... however he does say that the ashok hotel is nice and the metro would be great if it weren't for the indian commuters .......

[..... also, my grandmother used to say that hindoo sadhus kidnap muslim babies to appease kali's lust for blood ......]

Yep. That's a standard Islamic trait. I have heard Jewish friends from Iran say similar stories that Muslim parents used to say about Jews to their children - that Jews make their bread with Muslim blood. I, for example, grew up with my grandma saying no such thing about Muslims. But then, we're humans, not Muslims.

#153 the fact is that the locals are in fact fighting the taliban. not siding with them, as you claim in your attempt to cover-up for the failure of your beloved generals and corp commander friends and relatives.
