The Daily PakistanPolitics Oct16-19, 2009
Oct19-2009--In what might be considered an escalation in the regional conflicts in teh region a bomb blast in pishin,iran on the sistan baluchistan border killed 49...while iran is a friendly country its shiite leadership is in conflict with its sunni minority and abdol malek rigi heads a jundullah rebel group in teh border regions...obviously internal conflicts cannot be controlled by supposedly pakistan based rebels many of whom were brutally hanged by iran recently after a masjid blast..iran like india is castigating teh pakistani regime for not controlling teh situation inits volatile balochistan province...many see it as an example of possible US-pakistan cooperation and the fact that teh pakistani government cannot control terrorists from actions in any country...especially onits borders...many have accused iran of involvement with india in balochistans volatility..pakistan with a subjugated sunni majority is ruled by shiites...Oct19-2009--Pakistan has come out against a troops surge in afghanistan although apart from inter afghan talks there is no other handling mechanism apart from a substantial troops buildup and direct ground attacks by US troops on taleban areas of control...US like iraq expects inter afghan rivalry and bombings to solve teh issue...unlike iraq the karzai regime does not have teh single minded support of a substantial shiite population as sunnis never think alike and the north south divide is unlikely tobe much help unless important positions are allocated to the south...John Kerry has warned the state deptt of wrangling with pakistan politically without any objective necessity...a troop surge not expected to have a negative impact on pakistan theoretically but pakistan is wary of destabilizing karzai their new champion in afghanistan with no other option available but taleban ruleOct19-2009--with most mosques run by pukhtuns and tribals thruout pakistan the police launched a search of suspect madressahs most of whose students are pukhtun and tribal in origin...in islamabad...Oct19-2009--The pakistan army moved into south waziristan as the tribals moved out...sixty taleban killed and five soldiers in a heavily mined area...many suspect that baitullahs death and a months long seige may have financially devastated the mehsuds to the edges of starvation and most are migrating to avoid the war and search for foodOct19-2009--grenade lobbed at balochistan ministers home in quettaOct19-2009--punjab seals entry points from DI khan as conflict escalates in fataOct19-2009--fertilizer sale banned in bajaurOct19-2009--Ejaz afzal khan takes over as CJ Nwfp high court...he was the only judge who refused to take a new oath even under teh PPP...appointment is suspect as he is not teh senior

in a quetta jail is found drunk six doctors with bogus degrees..three of them nurses found in DHQ rawalpindi...MS and DS arrested...pakistani doctors are usually unable to understand teh reason they are doctors...looting and badly treating patients at will...Oct18-2009--after resting at the end of the swat operation the militants force the army to move into south waziristan after a months long seige...the army seemed tobe backing off but the resurgence of terrorist activity on a larger scale killed muted opposition to further operations in teh nwfp government, analysts and teh bystander nature of the federal government...operational losses have caused the army tobe more cautious..reports of tough resistance,roadside bombings and teh loss of two soldiers...also many say the $1.5 billion aid requires the army to keep fighting the tribal rebelsOct18-2009--hizbul tahreer house raided in islamabadOct18-2009--Nawaz Sharif says that NRO approval by parliament is a disgrace...so was the NAB and the decade of mindless accusations of corruption...The PPP has been devastated by the recent scandals of the Kerry-lugar bill and corruption allegations against raja ashraf's mindless approval of high electricity generation prices and its mindless philosophy to hike prices of sugar and everything else......many believe that shabaz sharif met teh army chief to get some independence in politics for the subjugated punjab which is being devastated by the anti punjab governmentOct18-2009--maldives cabinet meets under the sea to seek reduction in global carbon emissionsOct18-2009--government now wants a gas shortage in winter to support its shoddy price hike policies...pakistans electricity generation price is now reportedly higher than the electricity

as teh US had stopped essential military supplies which was also the main concern behind teh Kerry Lugar bill...many say the government finally could not get out of the clutches of teh US embrace and took the embarassing Kerry Lugar dole with all teh difficulties involved...we are now literally an israel without jews...!!!Oct17-2009--a suicide car blast at teh CIA center in peshawar kills
