I like Nawaz's lavish office
"Sources told The Express Tribune that Nawaz also raised the issue of collateral damage by drone strikes, with the hope that the Secretary of State would be able to address Pakistan’s concerns." ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ So whats Sartaj Aiziz's role then?
Paksiatn is not a banan republic ++++++++++++++++++++++ Firstly the PM should not be meeting the US Ambassador. And even if he meets it should never make it as news.
Very wise, NS. I can't imagine any other country on earth that is able to project power as effectively as the US does. We have to accept it as a super power. Can India or China invade any country say in South America and meet its objectives like the US has? Only arm-chair strategists think that it wanted to be a force of good when its only aim was to eliminate OBL.
Puppet PM talking to his Master.
