Zarak, totally agree with you, ninetykman and other friends above. FSH was depicting the morally bankrupt and subservient mentality of our “elite”. He was totally and shamelessly condoning attacks on Pakistan by a foreign power under the pretext that the foreign country is the world’s sole super power and we must accept anything they say blindly. He was totally oblivious of the fact that the sole power is 1)reeling from the sub-prime crisis, 2) borrowing heavilyf rom China (which holds billions of dollars of US Treasury Bills) and the rest of the world, 3)unable to raise further taxes for two awful and useless wars, 4) trying to prop an economy that is sinking into recession, whose top financial instiutions are being bailed out by sovereign wealth funds….etc etc… it is important to be friends with samandar par but on the basis of dignity and honour, not like subservient slaves. Can you imagine Indians allowing samandarpar to bomb their villages??!!

This pathologicial subservience is the mark of our elite. Secretary Tanvir Ahmad Khan finally got frustrated with FSH and told him he was living in some other world far from reality and should stop spreading this “psychosis of fear” in the hearts and minds of the people of Pakistan - a trademark of the mush era. TAK was excellent….really socked it to FSH.

I think Kashif is rather good, comes across well and is direct. former Secretary Khan is well known to be fiercely patriotic and never a pushover. Writes erudite pieces in Daily Times and News….Ahsan Iqbal is a well read man.

Pakistan has its brave men of world class stature.

Well done.

Faisel Saleh Hayat is a buffoon talking nonsense. He had no response to Secty Tanvir’s analysis. And Ahsan Iqbal is on another wavelength. Amazing that Faisel Hayat was re-elected to the NA. Perhaps a vote recount is in order.

Tnaveer Ahmad Khan got it right .. World is changing.Russia has secured itself economically and are emerging again, China and Iran..We have the opportunity to connect to these states sooner than later and things will be different IA.

Mush and the likes of him ruined the army. There was a time when army was respected in the country. I was not born but I am told the stories of 1965. And look now….

THey are nothing but bunch of cowards. I might start gettting the reputation of a conspiracy theorist with comments such as below … lol

I believe “Mushtaq Minhas” when he says “Afghanistan Bahana hai, Pakistan Nishana hai”. One thing they got out of this war on terror BS is a very weak Pakistani army who only takes pride in bombing women schools in capital city and selling countries people for money…. God I sooo wish these missing person case and Lal MAsjid case is taken up by a free and independent Judiciary. I wanna see some responsible people punished… and punished real good…..
No “Maafi”… no “jo ho gia so ho gia”….enough is enough… need punishment and JUSTICE !

if faisal saleh hayat thinks that paki army is that much khali haat and still using r1, r2 guns then why dont the military ends their organization and declares themselves neutral or some veto/ baighairat like japanese. musharaf kutta tau 8 saal yeh kehta raha hai kai we have started selling and exporting hardwares..daikhain jee kashkol torr diya hai….taraqeeeeeeeeeee ehh….

I agree with the points raised by Tanveer Ahmed and Ahsan Iqbal.

It seems that FSH is stil lin a state of denial like the rest of Q team. I fail to see how these people can show their faces on media anymore…. If I was in their place I would have dug my own grave and hide in it for the rest of my life… from shame !

btw Kashif is an excellent facilitator and asks very direct questions like Talat… and you can sense the qaumi dard he feels
