General Mattis Offer Apology
By Brig. (r) Junaid Zaman • Dec 24th, 2011 • Category: Politics • 9 CommentsGeneral James N. Mattis, the head of the US Central Command is a professional soldier and has seen it all from Iraq to Afghanistan. He is not only an experienced commander, he is also a skilled negotiator with tough guys in tough conditions, including insurgents.
As his career tells us that he commanded 1st Battalion 7th Marines, one of Task Force Ripper’s assault battalions in the Gulf War. As a colonel, he commanded 7th Marine Regiment, then 1st Marine Expeditionary Brigade and Task Force 58 during Operation Enduring Freedom in southern Afghanistan as a brigadier general. As a major general, he commanded the 1st Marine Division during the 2003 invasion of Iraq and subsequent stability operations during the Iraq War. Mattis played a key role in the April 2004 battle of Fallujah, Operation Vigilant Resolve, by negotiating with the insurgent command inside of the city.
General Mattis is now willing to mediate between the strained Pakistan and United States. But like the biased and worthless investigation report by NATO, his visit to Pakistan and talks with the Pakistani leadership would accomplish nothing, but more disappointing endings. General Mattis should bring Joe Biden or John Kerry with him, meet with the Pakistani leadership, and then hold a press conference detailing the Salala incident and then offer a well-crafted apology, and that’s about it.
The General Mattis I know can do that with thorough professionalism without letting any side down. Come on Warrior Monk.

Brigadier Sb, If they haven’t offered an apology in 4 weeks, what’s the point of a belated one now… As with everything, if you wrong somebody, the redress/repentance should be immediate.
Yesterday they said Pakistan was equally to “blame” for the fact that the US murderered 24 of its sleeping soldiers in an unprovoked raid of almost 3 hours, and that the attack was ultimately “justified,” so what is the point of Pakistan begging them “to apologise”?
The time for apologies is over.
It is time for action i.e. for Pakistan to terminate this disgusting, abusive, one-sided relationship which has drained the life-blood of Pakistan for six decades. It is time for Pakistan to be emanicated. We the people have had our fill. We need to send them packing from their military bases to their spy station in Islamabad. We need to cut all ties with them. We need to say “Keep your so-called ‘aid’! You have 45 million Americans in dire poverty who need it more! We will survive by the Grace of God”
For those elements in Pakistani society who still crave a relationship with this dying because they have some ‘complex’ with respect, I’m afraid they need to get over it.
Just because some of the elites benefit from this exploitative ‘relationship’ in which they get a few blood-drenched crumbs thrown their way for ‘toeing the line’ or jumping through hoops for Firangi Master, a Green Card for their cousin, or an Ivy League university place for one of their brats, doesn’t mean that 180 million people should have to sacrifice their national interest.
Iran has managed fine for 32 years without Uncle Shlomo. Cuba has managed fine for 55 years without Uncle Shlomo though it lives under America’s nose. So why can’t Pakistan break-away from the diseased, rotten mill-stone hanging about its neck?

“…..so what is the point of Pakistan begging them “to apologise”?…..”
- Matter of fact, Pakistan never apologize to the Palestinians for killing more than 20,000 Palestinians by Zia. Pakistan never apologize killing of Bangladeshis in 1971. Killing of Balochis become right of Pakistan army/ISI.
So, begging apology to satisfy the ego of few hardcore generals is nonsense!
@Brig. (r) Junaid Zaman, isn’t it?
Marine General James Mattis - it seems you have been TRYING to Message to my Beloved Territory — “I come in peace, I didn’t bring Artillery. But I am pleading with you with tears in my eyes: If you f*ck with me, I’ll kill you all.” — so that — with this SORT of REGRETS — he & his Administration again & over again — Evaluating — the Reactionary MOVE of Afghanistan/Pakistan.
But - Mansoori’s Fresh MESSAGE to CIA Cum American Administration Via Pakistan Armed Forces.

Spouting more nonsense from the posterior of your jim-jams again huh?
Killing of “20,000 Palestinians by Zia”? Really? How come no one in the world has ever of your one-man history course? I think you are confusing Zia with your Israeli brothers with whom you share more than a love of worship of the cow / golden calf. It’s precisely these lies they teach you at VHP coolie-temple college that are responsible for your quaint views.
Re the Baluch, they are our brethren and our people, and it is extremely regrettable that any were killed except the one Bugti guy responsible fomenting terrorism on behalf of Uncle Gandhi’s RAW and Uncle Shlomo’s CIA, both of whom are sponsoring terrorism throughout Pakistan, especially in Baluchistan because they are seething with rage about China’s presence on the Arabian Sea at Gwadar, the main port of Baluchistan as part of China’s ’string of pearls’ policy.
As for the killing of Bangladeshis, where Pakistanis actually did this, it is also extremely regrettable…and although we’re different people and they have more affinity with India culturally, lingustically etc, they are our Muslim brothers and as such, we love them dearly and always wish them well. However, two-faced Uncle Gandhi pretended to be friends with them in 1971 to make them secede from Pakistan, but being no actual well-wisher for Bangladeshis, it has therafter shown them only enmity. Thus, paradoxically, since 1971, Uncle Gandhi-Bangladesh relations have been fraught (as with all of the former’s neighbours), whereas Pakistan and Bangladesh’s relations have improved dramatically…just goes to shows that no matter what the Hindutva viper does, his plots will always be foiled Inshallah.
And does Kumbh-Mela country aplogise for killing Assamese, Naxalites, Maoists, Siks, Buddhists, Dalits, Christian missionaries (like the Australian priest and his family who were murdered), not to mention the Muslim killed in the Gujarat pogroms of 2002?
And what about the killing of Muslims in Indian-Occupied Muslim Jammu & Kashmir? And what about the 30 year Indian state-sponsored terrorism in Sri Lanka carried out by their Hindu terrorist proxies that are the Tamils Tiger? When will Sadhu country apologise for this. When is Uncle Gandhi going to do the decent thing and hold up its bloodied hands…

“…..As for the killing of Bangladeshis, where Pakistanis actually did this, it is also extremely regrettable…”
- why no tender apology and compensation to the victim families till now? (so why expect from Americans?)
What are you talking about?
What a ridiculous comparison.
In 1971, it was a civil war between East and West Pakistan instigated by Uncle Gandhi in which there were bad things done on both sides e.g. many of the Bihari Urdu-speaking Muslims in E. Pakistan who supported remaining within Pakistan, were killed and abused by Bengalis and are mistreated until this day, so don’t try to compare this internal situation between various Pakistani ethnicities at the time to that between Pakistan and a foreign state like the US now which killed 24 Pakistani soldiers and over 40, 000 Pakistanis during their phoney ‘war on terror’.
The situation in 1971 is comparable to the situation in Libya, Syria and Sudan recently and the Biafra Wars in 1960s Nigeria. It is not comparable to wars between different states.
Pakistan will do a tender apology to Bangladesh the day your India does a tender apology to Pakistan / Occupied Jammu & Kashmir, Sri Lanka, China, Bangladesh, the Maldives, Bhutan, Nepal, Burma and all those touched by Indian crimes and atrocities.
We all know that ‘Moin’ is an Indian bastered.So why bother answering him.
@6 aka Pakistani Bint
“….What a ridiculous comparison….”
- Oh, so mean of you!!!
“……killed …… over 40, 000 Pakistanis during their phoney ‘war on terror’….”

Pajamay — It is Suppose — Pakistani BINT (West Pakistan) & I AAM (East Pakistan) — are Two BROTHERS & Live peace fully in a Same Resident — & — YOU - Pajama/India — is BAD LUCK — our NEIGHBORER — as & when YOU find — there is any RIFT between us — you TRIED to Make Up the MIND for PARTITION in a same HOME instead of PATCH Up/Reconciliation to Settle the same RIFT — & — rather wishfully — YOU deliberately ——– Fueled the Fire — thus WE both — BIFURCATED — own Peaceful - HOME.
My Query to YOU — Is this a GOOD or Highly Admirable JOB of a NEIGHBOR?
