godot, i dont know how you can be so heartless...i mean i was so moved by the article that i was bawling like a baby while reading this at work...just imagine, out nuclear program, jiss kay leeyeh 150mn people did khun paseena aik, will now be consigned to the dustbin of history due to the karnama of one man namely jasoos shukat aziz, code name shaitan_banker. even james bond did not have to deal with an enemy as khuturnaak as this.

waisay now that indians have learnt its so easy to infiltrate paki establishement, they will soon be sending raw agents to steel our other precious assets such as secrets behind kick ass kebabs found all over pak.

i certainly will be looking out for raw agents at bandu khan`s.

Mr. Naeem ...dont you think that Shaukat Aziz and Musharaf are also becoming puppets of ``Economic Outsourcing Story`s`` directed by Uncle Sam. What are the real objectives beyond of US kindness strategy......just a part of Pakistan`s pie (atomic/nuclear energy, iron/copper, oil or easier access to Afghanistan). And Shaukat Aziz is going to be star in these scenario as he was being Finance Minister (best post).

Well ........ we never seen that there are good and bad without any differences. I dont know that Aziz PM would like to be good actor or bad actor. Let we see...

Shaukut Aziz is the best thing that has happened to Pakistan in a long time. The guy has delivered wherever he has gone, including on Pakistan`s economy. He left a very high paying job, came back to Pakistan, to work as the finance minister, without a salary.

It`s about time Pakistan was run by someone who has done something in his life, on his/her own merit. Who has reached the top ranks of the biggest companies in the world, on his/her merit. Rather than being ruled by Junejos, and Bhuttos and Jamalis and Makhdooms and all these other bozos who have nothing but their feudal ancestors to thank for reaching the positions of power that they sit it.

I am always amazed when people commenting on Pakistan consider the feudals to be a product of some kind of democratic system.

Shoukat `serving` without pay. It reminds me of a young man who was appointed as a `Patwari`. After a month they called him to receive his pay. He was surprised and exclaimed, ``Oh! Those damnfools, `Yahaan tankhaah bhi dete hein```. Beware of such people. He is either too naive or a super `technocrat`. Presently every body is aking who is this Shoukat. A few days back an editor of an urdu daily, a friend of mine, rang me up and said, ``Do you know who is this Shoukat``. I narrated an anecdote to him which I repeat here. Sometime ago I alighted from a bus at Lahore station and proceeded towards a `rehrhi` standing nearby to purchase something. I saw two curious young ladies standing by the rehrhi who left as soon as I reached the same. Out of curiosity I asked the rehrhi-wala, ``Paha ji, eh maimaan desi si ya walaaiti?`` He said, `` Nah paha ji, nah eh desi si nah wallaiti. Eh te faarmi si``. I told the friend that I was quite satisfied by his reply and you can also use this formula keeping in mind that the military farms are much in the news these days.
As for the Chowk it is doing a wonderful job by providing a platfarm to the people of Pakistan to give vent to their pent up emotions instead of becoming `Khudkush Bombaars`.

And to add to his achievements, he has broken the all time (Pakistani) record of having 58 members in cabinet, he has now 59.

He has peeled off his skin, and I feel like living in a banana republic.

Why subcontinentals?
Vijay has a Sanskrit name, looks too dark, speaks funny, wobbles his head and I have it from good sources that he wears chappals at home as well.

Please dont offend our Pakistani friends here.

``Alliance for the Restoration of Democracy (ARD) has said despite the low turnout in by elections at Attock (NA-59) Shaukat Aziz’s bagging 75000 votes in the said constituency shows that it was worst form of poll rigging in the country.

Talking to journalists here on Thursday Chief Coordinator ARD Malik Hakmin Khan, PML (N) former Minister of State Shaikh Aftab Ahmed and PPP leader Shaikh Ahsan Advocate said that government declared forcibly 75000 votes bagged by its candidate and 29000 votes gotten by Dr Sikandar Hayat Khan.

“To acquire 75000 votes despite low turn out from Attock constituency is a clear cut poll rigging on government parts”, they noted.

They said government took each and every possible measure for snatching the victory for its candidate.

ARD leaders said government is responsible for the blood shedding of innocent PPP workers during its by-elections campaign in Attock.

They said 14 innocent people were killed and more than 100 were injured during bloody by-polls drive for by polls.

Atmosphere of fright prevailed in entire constituency due to PPP workers murder in Attock, ARD leaders said.

They deplored that without caring for the feelings of the deceased families government agents beat drums and distributed sweets after the victory of their candidate, which is against Islamic values.``

mr. godot, faisal and twintopaz, please dont let your emotions have their way with you. I know whenever you hear a prevailing politcal entity brag about turning the establishment ``up side down`` through rigorously instilling ``islamic values`` into it, you choose to disregard the failures of previous politcal entities, who had used this kind of bravado over and over again throughout their regimes..

to the chowk editor, you have never failed to promote independent thought and i hope you keep on the good work

Al-Guida.
Lol!
That is surely the right name for the latest terror organization headed by Hazrat Jhadh.
