    Much ado about nothing. We got the FUQN Bomb! Fuq Israel! Fuq India! Fuq America!

    They better not fuq with us, or the junior officers will take over and execute all their b!tches in the executive class and kick their a##

    It’s about time America and EU stopped their RACIST nuclear policies and start respecting nations.

    But the thing is, our leaders have already accepted defeat psychologically!

    What are we to do?

    Agree! The alami media is watching this and thinking what a bunch of yoyo’s giving so much importance to what we think. I am trying to find where this is mentioned in the NYTImes and Washington post, and no one is caring.

(personally i am not for nuclear weapons….but that is besides the point)

    Its incredible that such sensitive issues are discussed on media. Every country solve such problem secretly and media should show responsibility. Geo will go any distance to rip Musharaf apart. For me you can do whatever u want with Musharaf, kill him, hang him or whatever. But for God sake dont do this at the cost of Pakistan security. GEO should be banned in this country they are sold out Bastards. They are highlighting such sensitive issues, they are always in hunt of ex generals and ISI heads so that they could say something about “secret issues” of Pakistan. They time to time spread disinformation which leads to tremendous loss of stock market and so on.

    …. in 1994 that then Pakistani Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto traveled to North Korea reportedly at the request of the then-army chief of staff, Gen. Abudl Waheed. …..
    A few months later, A.Q. Khan made the first of what would be about 13 trips to North Korea, as part of a Pakistani delegation to Pyongyang, composed of both scientists and military officers. At that time Musharraf was Waheed’s director general for military operations . While there, he is said to have helped N. Korea with the design and equipping of facilities focused on the enrichment of uranium in exchange for North Korean assistance in the area of missile technology……

    I watched Capital Talk on Dr. Khan. Hamid Mir is becoming a “Security Threat”. GEO is international channel and he made following mistakes:

    1: The issue would not have debated on air like this.
    2: Musharraf book was published in the USA 2/3 years ago, and there was not any issue was raised from any corner. Now Hamid Mir was giving line to other governments that President of Pakistan was also involved. Mir may be an enemy of Musharraf but Presidency is an institution of Pakistan which belong to Musharraf temporarily.
    3: He did not allow any expert to finish thoughts including specialist from GEO. Instead of asking questions; he becomes party and subjective.
    4: If this ahow is translated in English; it provides enough material to the enemies of Pakistan to go after Army, President and other Security Agencies.
    5: Dr. Qadeer is a hero, but he has made mistake in personal vendatta.

    Based in my international observation; I can say that Media; may be unintentionally; not serving Pakistan’s interest. Many times Hamid Mir has disappointed when he cuts of people who do not say or want to say what Mir wants to hear. He shows 100% bias toward some politicians.

    Now question is, how other big powers got, their nukes tech?????
    Oobiviously by the help of others, of course, then why this screaming? Etc., at this time the job of our national news media should be like rest of the world, to support their own country (specially like western media), and pay attention that how others got it of did it??? To justify their acts.
