    enough is enough from these mercenaries, where you are supposed to fight you use diplomatic means but when it comes to your own people you use f-16 and helicopter gunship and kill innocent civilians you(generals and politicians) are cowards.

    Gates defends US strikes inside Pakistan..
    USA means Business

    LONDON ( 2008-09-19 01:34:47 ) :US Defence Secretary Robert Gates has defended the right of American forces to strike at militants on the Pakistani side of the Afghan border.

    Talking to BBC he said Pakistan had authorised such air strikes, he said that the US would take “whatever actions necessary” in self-defence.

    Washington would prefer for Pakistan to tackle militants itself, he added.

    Gates, fresh from a visit to Afghanistan, is in London for talks with other Nato ministers.

    Earlier on Thursday, he said that increasing militant violence there might prompt a change in US strategy, but gave no details.

    Gates welcomed the Pakistani army’s “much more aggressive” approach to militants along the border in recent weeks.

    He said the militants were the “common enemy” of Pakistan, Afghanistan, and US troops and their allies.

    “Our goal is to partner with the Pakistanis and enable them to deal with this threat on the border themselves,” he said.

    “I would just say that we will take whatever action necessary to protect our troops,” he added

    Gates told that the US tried to keep civilian casualties to a minimum. He accused the Taliban of using them as human shields.

    Bad news.Hamid Mir resigned from Geo News.I am copying my email exchange with a freind in Geo TV Islamabad

    ——————————–

    What??? r u serious,why Hamid Mir resigned?

    —————————————–

    Solangi sab Mir included some visuals of civilians suffering in Bajour in his show with Najamudin and Imran Khan but Sherry Rehman came to know and she stopped it through Azhar Abbas(MD Geo News)who is brother of Major General Ather Abbas DG ISPR.Some claims of Dr.Khalil were also edited on which Hamid Mir protested but his resignation was not accepted till late night of Thursday.I saw him very disturbed he was saying that media will be responsible if something bad happen to Pakistan because media is hiding truth just to please some generals.He was saying that generals are not killing militants they are killing civilians.

    Shame on AZ and PPP. Where is Rehman Malik.

    PPP minister openly saying that he has no power.

    The Army is killing its own people just to appease its masters AMRIKA.

    Nothing has changed. Once dictator gone, another one has come into power.

    The parliament must decide the foreign Policy.

    @ Asif

    If it happens to your family members like Dr. Khalil-ur-Rehaman, then I will ask you and thats the only way you will really 101% understand his pain.

    Beause our leaders, cabinet members, civil and fauji beaurocrates are dis-honest, that is why they are not ready to take help from Russia and China, because they don’t give them “Rishwat” to deposit in swiss banks for the work performed against their national interest. You see Russia never gave “Rishwat” to indian officials, plus they never made their beaurocrates and leaders monetarily corrupt.

    We are helping USA but still we are in bad situation, our economy is worst, our national security is on stake, our country is burning, a blind person can see that, we are not benefitting, may be some general’s or political leader’s swiss bank accounts would be getting fatter day by day on the expense of 96% Pakistani nation’s, security,
    sovernity,economy etc.

    For sake of god open your eyes, where are you going, in close street??? Did we get freedom for this day???

    Why we are so much hipocrate like our friends, when comes to India we only do diplomatic talks nothing else, because it can hurt us, otherwise we can do anything. Aren’t we getting hurt every day in and day out???

    Soon after it issued the new stamp with President Zardari’s picture on it, the Pakistan Post Office was overwhelmed by complaints that the stamp will not stick to the envelopes.
    The Post Master General ordered an investigation to find out why????

    Few days later the investigation was completed. The findings: People were spitting on the wrong side of the stamp (the picture side instead of the sticky side

    Yes Hamid Mir is gone.He was banned by Musharraf and now in trouble again because he speak truth.He resigned in protest on the revival of a censor committee which was created by Musharraf to control capital talk.This committee censored some parts of last capital talk.I am in touch with a Sindhi reporter of Geo TV who is telling me inside.I think Hamid Mir should now join Express TV or ARY.

    Did I hear it correctly.. Imran khan finally accepting Indian security forces response to separatist and other extremist has never been mortar fire or MIg attack unlike Pakistan where carpet bombing by F-16 bombers is being used on pakistanis..

    PROOF OF INDIAN INVOLVEMENT IN FATA KURRAM VIOLENCE (eye opening proof for all):-PLZ SPREAD THIS E-MAIL.
    The main story/ news item published on the front page of Daily The frontier Post and some other sources is eye opener and proof of indian (RAW) involvement in FATA crisis & violence especially in Kurram Agency. The story can be found on the Link below or can be seen from attachment attached with e-mail.
    http://www.thefrontierpost.com/News.aspx?ncat=ts&nid=2202

    We the people of Kurram Agency praise and hail the boldness and courage of Frontier Post to highlighite
    the anti state and anti Islam millitants so called taliban working for RAW agenda to destabilize Pakistan and defame Islam Globaly.
    But we also want to show anger and protest on the attitude of some limited mediamen and groups who are showing RAW agents millitants so called taliban as ideal may be they are reciving amount in dollars for this.

    Like “GEO—AMERICI MAAL PEOO” channel and its ankerperson “Hamid Mir “and one other journalist of same media group Rahimullah yousafzai who both are called so called analyst and senior journalists in media.ALL KNOWS thier contervorsal role for showing anti pakistan & anti islam millitants as ideal in thier programmes becuse they are the puppetes of estiblishment and agencies.
    For example in one of its Programme edition of Capital Talk on “DARA ADEMKHEL (FR KOHAT)
    Mr.hamid Mir showed the slides declaring the millitants so called Taliban ideal or custodians of Islam.
    He showed an interview of a maniority Sikh man who is praising Taliban showing they were good and ideal.
    BUT Mr Hamid Mir;- The so called senior journalist of puppet estiblishment media group do not the fact or he knows and neglected that If the same Sikh even open Lips against these bloody taliban ,His slaughtered body will be avilable in piecec on very next day!!!!!!!??Moreover How many notable tribal elders and representatives of social & political circles were killed in Waziristan,Bajaur,Swat,Khyber ,Orakzai and Kurram Agency who try to raise voice aginst the inhuminty and brutaility of taliban commited in the name of Islam.
    In the same Programme telecasted on DaraAdemKhel issue Mr.Hamid Mir has no coverage to mention that How many innocent people and passengers belongs to a particular sect of HANGU<KURRAM & D.I.KHAN were brutly and inhumanly slaughtered by these bloody Yazedis taliban on main Indus HighWay at daraAdemKhel……………………Did Mr. hamid mir has coverage to telecast this aspect of his ideal taliban in his Prograame or even have coverage to tlecast the intrviews of affected families living just 30 k.m ahead in villages of District kohat & hangu with addition to Kurram??
    We from the “Voice of kurram” once again praise and salute to Daily “The Frontier Post ” for writing true image of millitants taliban who are destabilizing Pakistan and defaming Islam globaly
    and Appeal to all independent media sources to do the same justice based approach by neglecting the some limited so called senior journalist like Mr.Hamid Mir and so called expert on Afghan & regional affairs Mr.rahmiullah yousafzai or simply “GEO—–AMERICI MAAL PEOO” if they do not come to lines of real Journailisms and neutral plus Justice based approach instead of showin them as the representative and lawyers of RAW agents so called Taliban movement of pakistan working for american intrests to justify that as the instability in FATA & NWFP are at peak therefore NATO & US should invade or come to fullfill the agenda of RAW & MOSAD to destroy the atomic power capibiblity of Pakistan………
    we want some questions to be answered by Mr hamid Mir & Youasfzaui;
    IS TO DESTROY GIRLS SCHOOL IS ISLAM & JIHAD????
    IS TO ATTACK AMBULANCE AND CASUILTY WARD OF HOSPITAL AND THEN TOOK THE RESPONSIBILTY IS JIHAD???
    WHILE HOSPITAL AND AMBULANCE ARE EVEN NOT TARGETED DURING WAR ACCORDING TO GENEVA CONVENTION????
    IS TO SALUGHTER THE PEOPLE & FELLOW MUSLIM SECURITY FORCES MEN IN WAZIRISTAN,BAJAUR,SWAT,KURRAM & DARA ADEM KHEL (THE IDEAL OF MR. HAMID MIR VERSION OF ISLAM & JIHAD) IS ACCORDING TO PRINCIPLES OF ISLAM & JIHAD???
    At last we once agin praised and salute to majority of journnalists & media sources who are aware of these bloody RAW agents so called Taliban agenda of destabilizing pakistan & defaming islam globally.THANKS.

    I can understand ur feelings and anger over the situation in KURRAM Agency and adjacent areas.But just to let you know that no body is safe in the whole of PAKISTAN,on one got any SECURITY there.You people are still lucky as no ARMY OPERATION/US STRIKES are happening in your area.
    Govt should must come into action to provide SECURITY to the people of a particular sect in that area.
    Lastly, you have every right to disagree/dislike Hamid Mir and RahimUllah Yousafzai but they are considered as the best experts pakistan got on the PASHTOON region and affairs.

    How come army is targeting ordinary people, while failing to target Taliban ? Why can’t our army differentiate between militants and peaceful citizens ?

    The media should focus more on how actually the operations are being carried out in tribal areas and Swat in order to bring out the facts about these operations.

    When Imran Khan was the captain of Pakistan cricket team, I never liked him. But now he has a great love, affection for the Pakistan and people of pakistan and thats why I like him and back him.

    He along with Nawaz Sharif are the only ones who have a bit devotion and love for Pakistan otherwise others are ready to sell Pakistan.

    I hope all NATION will back him and one day we will be free from these bastered politicians ( PPPS, ANPS, JUIS, MQM, PMLQ etc).

    Najam din says again and again: HUM AIK LOOG HAIN, BAHI BAHI HAIN then why your so called President & PM order to stop killing of innocent people like the one you watched in the picture ( so sad).

    are we going to sleep walk into total destruction? are we aware of the deadly threat that taliban pose to the Pakistani people?
    are we going to stand up for the freedom of the people of Pakistan and save it from the fundos who wish to make it into a terrorist state, killing all others except fundos, who hate women education, kill shias and other sects etc.
    are we not going to stop mixing what is our fight for existence and other issues like external interference. there is also a great threat to all Pakistanis.
    we must stand against foreign interference but there is a greater threat emanating from within: the terrorist talibans in Pakistan!
