I have always been an advocate of “winning the hearts and minds of the Afghan people” argument. Brute military force, can win wars, but is never a recipe for long term peace and stability. Two wrongs do not make a right, and American policy in the region has only served to exacerbate the level of [...]
Towards the fag end of his unenviable military career, a representative of the Bush legacy Admiral Mike Mullen was recently overwhelmed by pre-retirement syndrome and though it fit to assume the title of supreme commander of the Pakistani armed forces while declaring it to the American media that Pakistan is about to launch an offensive [...]
I am perturbed, ill at ease that still our decisions are being made by the GHQ, and the political leadership is oblivious to anything going on. World is grimly staring at us with pointed fingers, and we are busy in staging dramas to give clean chit to our agencies and the forces, and rulers busy [...]
In war against Terror US and Pakistan are allies and are running a joint terrorists hunting operation. Pakistan has picked terrorists in hundreds which includes some 20 top Al-Qaida elites and master minds whereas after a decade long operation US just found one head, luckily it happened to be Osama Bin Laden that too at [...]
Sir Winston Churchill had said war is such a serious issue it could not be left alone on armed forces. It is the political wisdom that rules supreme. This wisdom foresees 10 years ahead keeping in mind 100 years back.

The people want to clean up the environment, but they need [...]
So Senator Kerry has come to do the usual doublespeak to the Pakistani people through its already confused leadership! Like the other US leaders before him, his understanding of Pakistan ran skin deep at best as he tried to justify the drones by declaring that terrorism existed in Pakistan before these attacks. Oh what a [...]
Well Mr. Kerry, you certainly know how to speak with the people of Pakistan, but it is yet to be seen as do you really know how to actually act upon what you say. Kerry’s statements during his press conference with the Pakistan’s foxy Foreign Minister Makhdoom Shah Mehmood Qureshi were very refreshing and very [...]
Senator Joseph Biden, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, together with senior panel members John Kerry and Chuck Hagel, will observe the elections on February 18. These senators are the bigwigs in the democrat circles of US, and according to these senators their presence in Pakistan shows as how much interested US is in [...]
