• Nov22-2009--Many have noted with horror teh manmohan statement that the indians really did not want to turn pakistan into a somalia...than what are they up to many ask...this in the contexts of reports of indian-israeli involvements
  
• Nov22-2009--As the supposed reconciliation apparently ended with the lists of peopel who benefited from the NRO...doubts as to whether teh SC will reopen all cases or follow the principal that earlier decisions were given under an active law...it is unfortunate that our current rulers are either defaulters, corrupt or criminals with the mqm trying to justify their criminality(murders and mayhem) viz corruption of the PPP and defaulters of PMLn/PMlq while still stating that it was victimisation...many suggest that the earlier NAB-defaulter deals should also be reopened...others are of the opinion that references should be filed against the PMLq for excessive wealth accumulation with the first case against mushahid hussein who apparently became teh owner of a thousand acres during teh musharaf era...?
  
• Nov22-2009--In news that will surprise many given the reports of the past weeks Fauzia Gilani turns out tobe a wilful defaulter and reportedly benefited from NR0-1 which was used to clear people like Nawaz sharif, chaudhries and faisal saleh hayats...etc... and others in the PMLq mostly having huge loan defaults...her loans had swelled to Rs.570 million and under the NAB-defaulter deals she ran away with a payment of only Rs.45.521 million...earlier reports had said that the loans would be returned in ten years under a yusuf-ztbl deal...many question the strange nature of the loans and suggest that these people were under cover for military dictators and given loans as spending money...Yusuf Gilani himself who had a chequered career as a national assembly speaker which included the burning or setting fire to the national assembly also with the support of nawaz sharif apparently was cleared from cases of hiring multani relatives for national assembly posts and receiving kickbacks on purchases of toyota corollas for teh national assembly after he became primeminister...he however has been unrepentant at his attitude of a multani for multan/multanis only and said he had continued to hire multani relatives and was willing to go to jail again..strange jailbird..many would however prefer that he resign from the primeministership as he again needlessly suggested an 18% price increase for gas...while many said the gas price increase was due to the greed of sindhis and balochis he said that they wanted to give teh state owned gas companies a pre arranged 18% profit margin...
  
• Nov21-2009--The NRO controversy is not yet dead what with Fauzia Gilani and Sherry Rehman(reportedly)running off with Rs200 million and the interior minister not knowing that american security contractors exist in pakistan...methinks both Yusuf Raza Gilani and Rehman Malik are all but totally discredited and should resign...unfortunately if teh country cannot provide security to diplomats and brigadiers(people and politicians are secondary to anyones concerns) than there is no route other than blackwater or dynacorp...the US security contractors were actually here to train the SSG and make them better able to deal with emerging security problems many say to deal with them with a cruelty, lack of feelings and barbarity that would make them indistinguishable from blackwater, indians or israelis......america has always dealt out aid thru its contractors and consultants and such contractors are especially not new in teh health, education and judiciary fields...in iraq blackwater had started to run jails and were arresting people and torturing them(others suggest that the ISI and Blackwater are almost indistinguishable in many aspects...as still others say that all drone attacks made on ISI information))...we hope teh PPP does not degrade pakistan to that level or beyond those limits...why the JI has addresses of the 250 homes rented out to blackwater is a concern as we donot want lawless political groups as that only leads to a taleban like situation...if we destroy our own contractors thru corruption and donot work honestly or cannot work in difficult areas than how will something be done in areas like Fata where even pukhtuns fear to tread...The answer is only the army and foreign contractors...is there any difference between chinese, korean or american contractors...it is just necessary to ensure that a bad pakistani employee does not get tortured or shot dead if he works improperly or has a problem with teh contractors...one has to realize that we, political or extremist groups or the contractors should all be within teh framework of teh countries laws...if we as a people donot want a peaceful country than nobody else can come and provide us one or be able to secure it for themselves...
• Nov21-2009--Indian insincerity:The foreign office says that india not a reliable partner in talks on kashmir as well as other matters while shah mahmood scuttles musharaf premise that the kashmiris can reach a solution with india themselves...
• Nov21-2009--Islamabad police say they have a terrorist in custody involved in a number of blasts in teh area
• Nov21-2009-- eight killed in drone attack in north waziristan
• Nov21-2009--The PPP regime indicates another massive increase in gas price of 18%...The massive escalation in gas and electricity prices will just fuel another price hike and is counterproductive to teh overall economy..giving state sector enterprises massive profit margins is unexplainable...
