us-pakistan relations

Google your own source material please, I so abhor the discussion-wrecking left-right false dichotomy. I do not belong to a political party and am interested in the meta-discussion or questions about information security in our government. As opposed to whether any particular source is out to...

I am losing patience with the triumvirate in our National Security Council. Fer the love of all that is cheeseburgers, Pakistan, a loser nation, a failed state, a basket case nation filled with fail, has nukes. Pakistan is a shabbily manufactured "nation state" that is at best the fecal...

A seemingly unprovoked attack by NATO (unknown at this time if it was just US forces) on two Pakistan miltary posts has led to the death of at least 24 Pakistani military personnel. I know the borders are not the best defined but his is pretty shocking and even worse I haven't seen it mentioned...

I think we may be seeing the end of "friendly" relations with our "ally" Pakistan. In case you spent the last 36 hours testing a new diving bell, Pakistan has arrested several people who helped the USA locate Osama. If finding and killing Osama is a crime in Pakistan, then I think we know who...

I was reading an article discussing the possibilities of bin Laden's compound becoming a tourist shrine when I came across the following quote by Dr. Muhammad Azfar Nisar, the deputy civil chief of the city. His quote leads me to believe that the Pakistani military holds a firm grip in the...

I mean he was living in a house 3 times the average size for a house where he stayed, and he and his followers built a 3 story wall. If I built a 3 story wall where I live, I'm almost sure to get police attention (or at the very least the Home Owners Association). Something tells me Pakastan...

With what Pakistan has done over the last week and with the Pakistani ISI supporting the Taliban and Al Queda crazies, it's time for the NATO alliance to realize that Pakistan is dirrectly attacking the alliance and that according to the NATO Charter, this is an act of war. The supply route...

Wasn't sure where to put this. The humour forum crossed my mind. Pakistan military abandons US trips after being 'mistaken for terrorists' http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/asia/pakistan/7975392/Pakistan-military-abandons-US-trips-after-being-mistaken-for-terrorists.html

In breaking news, the American Secretary of State visited Pakistan today, which either induced or is irrelevant to a bomb going off in Pakistan that killed over ninety people. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/33503576/ns/world_news-south_and_central_asia?GT1=43001 The bomb seems an almost perfectly...

I think most people here assumed that despite Pakistan's official howls of protest that in reality the Pakistani government has been complicit in the frequent Predator strikes on Taliban and al Qaeda targets withing Pakistan. The protests were merely for Pakistani domestic consumption. But at...

Perhaps this should go in the CT forum - I'll let the moderator decide! OK, there are two festering problems with American foreign policy right now - American incursion into Pakistan, and North Korea's nuclear defiance. We haven't heard as much about them in the press as I would expect. I...

So, I'm listening to NPR's Fresh Air on the way home from work today and catch the second half of the following story Aside from just being fascinating, this also struck me as a specific issue that everyone that partakes in this sub-forum can contribute to discussing (perhaps even work...

Here's a Colin Powell quote I'm kicking myself for not spotting earlier (Stumbled on this while reading up on Afghanistan today. lt's news to everyone else) Remember the flak that Chomsky (and others) got for pointing out, just before the invasion of Afghanistan, that the U.S. demand that...
