1. Nizam e Adal:
a) This was flawed right from day one.
b) TNSM and the NWFP Government, were contradicting each other. Sufi Mo' had made it clear that his approval was necessary to appoint Qazis. And also that the Supreme Court of Pakistan will not be the final authority.
c) Yet, NAR passed by the Parliament stated the exact opposite.
d) NAR was one sided and Sufi Mo' was never taken into confidence.
2. Zaid Hamid seems to be confused. First he says that drone attacks in Pakistan are unacceptable, because they cause collateral damage. And then, he is asking America, why Baitullah Mehsud has not been targeted?
3. IMF:
a) Your country is going through a financial crisis. Your foreign exchange reserves had depleted to a dangerous level. Does Zaid Hamid know that if IMF hadn't come to your rescue, you would not have been able to buy crude oil and other items that you import? Why is he making such sweeping statements?
b) Do you know what inflation is Sir? IMF conditions are tough, no doubt, but you are in a desperate situation. You have to go with the lesser evil.
c) Your Army is using Tanks in Swat, hadn't you taken help from IMF, there would have been no fuel to run them. Ever thought about that?
4. No American supply lines through Pakistan:
a) Yeah, dream on.
5. ZH says that Pakistani Taliban are getting support from Afghanistan, that their bases and supply lines are in Afghanistan.
Well, this is a two way street. You cannot stop Afghan Taliban from carrying weapons etc. from Pakistan across the border, and similarly the Americans cannot stop the Pakistani Taliban from carrying weapons and supplies to Pakistan from Afghanistan.
6. Zaid Hamid claims credit for defeating the Soviets.
a) You, the Mujahideen, were being slaughtered by the Soviets. Americans came to your rescue.
b) That was the era of Cold War. Soviets could not cross the border to target training camps inside Pakistan since you were in the American Block.
c) Right now, there is only one superpower, and it doesn't give a damn about your sovereignty. Americans are killing the Taliban(Afghan) inside your territory. This is a major difference from the Soviet War.
d) You were saved by the American weapons, Stinger Missiles etc.
7. American Economy-
ZH talks about the economic crisis in America. Aren't you in America right now, asking for aid?
Also, if you read the latest assessments on the American economy, they state that the condition is not as bad as previously thought, and though there are tough times ahead, the situation is getting relatively better.
8. Balochistan-
Your Army and Federal government has a strangle hold on the affairs of this province.
Recently one of the MNAs resigned saying that he finds the situation hopeless and that there is too much interference.
As for the headquarters of BLA, when did it move to Tel Aviv :lol:
Earlier he used to say that it was in Kabul or Delhi.
