Constructive talks between Pakistan, ISAF: ISPR

Just when we think that the army is finally standing its ground we hear news of them cozying up with the enemy. I do not have any hope left for our country.

“Current Operational Realities” ?
Is that anathor meaningless phrase like “Doctrine of necessity”, Supreme national interest” etc ?

The plot thickens. The US is using the same mujahideen tactics against Pakistan as it did against the USSR. And the drone strikes keep the pot boiling. Its very interesting to see how will the Pakistani state react. Will it try using military force to quell the insurgents as did the USSR (we know what the result was in that case), or will it examine the root causes of the insurgency and rectify them. This challenge will force the state to either grow up very fast, to correct its many mistakes and to act maturely (ensuring Pakistan’s future viability and success), or, it will rapidly destroy it.

This is also the time to ponder over the US military’s overseas activities and what Pakistan should do about it (alliances, solo action, a combination etc). For simply attacking the fingers while leaving the rest of the body intact is rarely a successful strategy.

Lets face facts here ! This is a charade, nothing more ! As for ISPR , its credibility is questionable at best of times !
The bluff has been called by Pakistan and it has not delivered no retturns, nor there will be one forthcoming, as its obvious from the contents , that no Apologises were discussed here !
The only solution is to negotiate the supply line ! nothing more !
In regards to Border incussions , well Pakistan should have thought of them long time back !

British PM David Cameron said that “Pakistan should not promote export of terror.” Then he defended his statement by saying that he “has a duty to tell the truth. German chancellor Angela Merkel for the first time sent a strong message to Pakistan saying that Islamabad cannot use state sponsored terror as a means to any end. Shedding the niceties of protocol, the President of France described Pakistan the melting pot of state sponsored terror. Afghan President Karzai said that the terrorists are operating from sanctuaries in Pakistan with Pakistani protection. Pakistan ‘epicenter’ of world terrorism, said Admiral Mike Mullen, outgoing Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

@F Robinson: Sir pls pay heed to Mr Malik, the (suspended) Interior Minister and now the Adviser on Interior Affairs to the Pakistani PM. He has repeatedly said that there are no terrorists in Pakistan. That sir, is the end of the matter.

Pak generals actually do not need empty words of apology. They want cash and lots of it. Their lifestyle and standard of living has been affected by the aid cut off. Not much time left before the US leaves the area, so let us pick up all the low hanging fruits ASAP.

Whatever statements come after these kinds of meetings, infect the dirty game is on for better utilization of terror groups. These terror groups are professionals and are heavily funded by America in order to kill as much as Pakistani troops and organize terror activities. These terror groups are using the cover of Taliban and Islam. Our forces are required to minimize response and reaction time, and are required to go for hunt and hit back policy rather than being defensive all the times.

@ParvezM:
Putin trip is only for show and perhaps few million $$$ for power project etc… nothing major, as he too has enough on his plate at present !
The Russians really are not that important anymore, and the Chinese are going to take a back seat as they are well aware of problems arising from Pakistan too, in regards to the Saudis ! well kiss goodbye to those brothers too !!
So US and NATO will decide as to the course of actions in future, not Pakistan ! Recommend
