Pakistan may add drones to her inventory-easily

By A Khokar • Dec 23rd, 2011 • Category: Politics

There is no doubt US got upper hand in drone technology and is free to carry out strikes at her will under self proclaimed ‘CIA’s judge-jury-executioner assassination program’ in the lands which may offer less or no resistance to drone operation for lack of their ability or other constraints like in Pakistan to counter drone [...]



America Warming up to Taliban

By Brig. (r) Junaid Zaman • Dec 22nd, 2011 • Category: Politics

My intent is not to regurgitate the content which I wrote in article at TPS regarding America Taliban relations couple of days ago, but to stress the point that there is growing evidence for sometime that US, our most favorite and cherished ally in this war against terror has been covertly and now overtly siding [...]



Pakistan Retreats after NATO Attack

By Altaf Khan • Dec 21st, 2011 • Category: Politics

There was no other way for us was the reaction of many military officers when asked about why they are meowing and backtracking from their uptight and upright stance. They had gotten themselves in an impossible situation and it was hard for them to backtrack except suffering lots of embarrassment.
Nato has said the Pakistan [...]



Please Ruin Me

By Umer Toor • Dec 19th, 2011 • Category: Politics, Worth A Second Look

I lament on the mental capabilities of all those who have become messengers of doom. If you hear to their clamoring you would think that Pakistan is going to dissolve in thin air very soon. The notion of any clash between government and army or judiciary is in itself a product of Don [...]



Shamsi Airbase; Red With Pakistan-Afghan Blood

By Ali Yar Khan • Dec 16th, 2011 • Category: Politics, Worth A Second Look

In his celebrated column Dr. Abdul Qadeer Khan mentioned that 16th December, 1971 was the day when we as a nation must have learned some ever-lasting lessons, but we didn’t. Dhaka we lost, and General Niazi surrendered along with 90 thousands soldiers. A Hamoood-ur-Rehman commission was formed, and it put forward it’s truthful facts and [...]



Let’s get beyond the Ego

By Gul Raiz • Dec 14th, 2011 • Category: Politics

I am trying to put sense into these guys and they are calling me traitor and abusing me. But I am not to be deterred by these things. Why is it so that if somebody talks sense under the light of reality and ground facts, people starting bashing him? I vow to bear this bashing [...]



Beyond BONN II

By Air Cmdre (r) Khalid Iqbal • Dec 14th, 2011 • Category: Politics

As expected, Bonn II Conference did not go beyond the rhetoric. Conference convened to encourage talks with the Taliban and boost the regional cooperation, brought forth the reality of a dead ended peace process sans Pakistan. Though Taliban had been engaged in peace talks for years, they also didn’t show up for the event; they [...]

Na Khuda Mila Na Visal-e-Sanam

By Maria Sultan • Dec 13th, 2011 • Category: Politics, Worth A Second Look

We created Taliban and we made ourselves the front-running allies of the United States. We then focussed on fighting against the Taliban and we than locked horns with the United States. At one side, now Taliban are refusing any negotiations with us, and on the other side Americans refuse to provide us any soft corner.
The [...]



Martin Dempsey Need To See a Doctor Immediately

By Dr. Hassan Isfahani • Dec 11th, 2011 • Category: Politics

I want to know what’s the criteria of recruitment and promotions and then appointing the leadership of American military Junta. One clown after the other take hot seat in the most important positions in the Pentagon and then billions of people suffer around the globe.
Now we have got one another on our hand. The [...]
