• May19-2017--The army chief apparently has no understanding of the terrorism that pakistan has endured and while young people were involved it really had nothing to do with the countries youth or the young...terrorism is a method of war and islam reccomends extreme sacrifices for religion, jihad, war and country just as is followed by other countries and armies of the world...!Terrorism has had terrible consequences here because the army and police were unable to handle it until it almost subsided...
  
• May19-2017--In what looks like a complete failure of the Pakistan Army to present its case the ICJ stayed the execution of an indian terrorist saying it has jurisdiction over internal matters...while the ICJ is not usually followed by anyone apart from pakistan... pakistan must tell the court that the indians also executed a pakistani terrorist and the involvement of Jadahav is in numerous cases of terrorism...!recently the chinese also refused to follow the ICJ on a south china sea judgement...!The primeminister actually responded that the Jadhav case comes under CPEC as does the pakistan army and the pakistani government...!basically it is an internal case of terrorism and does not even involve intra country issues...!many however suggest that indians fooled Nawaz Sharif thru Jindall and had suggested that they were willing to negotiate the fates of a pakistani retired colonel and Jadhav...!many however suggest that colonel was probably executed by the indians and pakistan must not back down and should carry out the Jadhav sentence immediately...There is no recourse to the methods suggested by the Defence minister to army chief death sentences...
  
• May19-2017--In a shocking attack on a national institution Sardar Mehtab the Aviation Advisor who is a cloth seller by profession asks Senate to shutdown PIA...while it is not the senates job it is the governments..one cannot shutdown PIA just because of a pilot who was found sleeping...mostly modern planes fly on auto and there were two pilots at the helm...If rules state that the senior pilot cannot leave his seat or the cockpit than obviously punitive action must be taken and those involved in heroin smuggling must be taken to task...!

• May11-2017--Asif Ghafoor would have benefited if he had been trained before being dumped in the ISPR...The whole hoopla apparently meant only to endorse removing of the former information minister...ISPR should realize that just because twitter is available does not mean that you have to write on it loutishly...!However Cyril Almeida is scot free at present...!many surmise that whole exersize meant to clear mariam nawaz...!no information on who did what though...!

• May06-2017--whatsapp also in trouble...a lawyer files a report in an islamabad thana that he saw Nawaz Sharif making an anti army speech on whatsapp...!while just sitting around...must have been from his anti army days in the musharaf era...!having been ushered out of office twice by the army he has a right to make some anti army comments...!The army recently admitted to homosexuality on whatsapp in the army training centers after a journalist questioned the crooked nature of the ISPR...ISPR should restrain themselves...rather start maligning others
  
• May06-2017--12 dead near chaman after afghans shell census staff
  
• May06-2017--The troublemaking ISPR chief rejects the primeministers removal of a Foreign Affairs advisor who suggests that diplomats have been at the forefront of protecting national security as to the armies underhand methodology...the reasoning seems unclear as raking in the mud on a simple intelligence leak of minor proportions is hardly of any worth...it seems that with several army officers in the Nawaz Sharif steel mills JIT the army chief and ISPR chief have started bristling or at best preening their feathers...The armies information chief seems tobe acting as a young turk who are usually troublemakers...other problems arose on the military front after Khurshid Shah said that the armies twittering was a poison on the national scene..that attributed to the interior minister alongwith crooked comments of the Sindh Governor...!Nothing new can emerge from the JIT and only the decision might be different...One supposedly bought judge seems to think the laws donot exist...there might be no laws on offshore companies but the articles of the constitution on truth are almost sacrosanct...however given that the judges wrote the previous pro Nawaz Sharif judgement it might be difficult for beaurocratic jurors to overhaul the judgement...The issue rolls on the issue of truths and falsehoods...how money that could have come from the nationalization proceeds of 1974 travelled around and the free return of the Ittefak iron works by Zia Ul Haq and sold recently by the Nawaz Sharifs for Rs.6 billion...! and how something bought in the early 1990's supposedly by the Qataris from elder Sharif loaned money is claimed by the Sharifs to have been bought in 2006 or given to them in 2006...!and having been owned and utilized thruout that period by the Sharifs..and how a judge cannot find a law to give a judgement on...!Many also wonder how judges can be bought by plot allottments but not army chiefs and even lowly captains...!probably many will soon notice plot allottments to Bajwa and Ghafoor...!other needed investigations are the high and mighty of the PPP with huge plots in Bedian or starting out as linemen but ending up as billionaires...!
