The Daily Pakistanpolitics Dec23, 2009

• Dec23--2009--Shah Mahmood qureshi who one must say seems tobe running parallel to the puny frightened pakistan government questions new US policy of threatening to invade pakistan and start activities in balochistan...reports already suggest that teh US is running terrorist outfits in pakistan...The pakistan regime which is providing cover to US activities and is literally being dubbed a facile democracy is only brave in military acquisitions and political faceoffs with rivals but unable to utilize any military hardware which than rots inits military backyards...the latest seem to be the acquiring of useless air refueling aircraft from teh ukraine which can at best be described as useless in a war but might keep a monitoring aircraft up in teh air...many suggest that teh government acquired teh aircraft after children questioned the airforce chief why their military aircraft did not have protruding nozzles like the US...many hope that drone attacks on balochistan and north waziristan may cause the first direct conflict in which the airforce can use its swedish awacs, ukraininan refuelers and might be chinese thunder aircraft...to shoot down unarmed drones...obviously pakistan will run for cover if armed US aircraft intrude and challenge them...
  
• Dec23--2009--In what is being termed as the only bravery that the PPP government displays electricity rates were raised by another 15% considering teh the initial base...the government as usual hurts the people while benefiting its friends teh industrialists and agricultural lobby...This government has now raised electricity rates by over a 100% and still electricity companies keep complaining...raising rates is not teh answer......many suggest that pakistan is now worse than nepal where electricity rates are Rs10...the agricultural lobby is benefited as usual by a hefty 40 billion subsidy on electricity while the poor get only 16 billion...the country cannot see any hopes of industrial growth because of high rates of electricity, land prices and bad manpower attitudes...the government has continuously raised electricity rates despite high profits by generation companies such as hubco and kapco...government should move towards an industrial profit margin target of of 6-8% rather than 15-40%...This is the only government which has provided no benefit to teh people in any way....
