Sep11-2009--ISI chief finds no place else to break his fast but the indian embassy...

Sep11-2009--Asif Zardari who is becoming controversial as he usually only sees one side of a picture...forgetting that teh baloch continue to kill innocents he wants an amnesty for a few without anything in return...pakistan needs a quid pro quo of undying loyalty and patriotism in return otherwise a few years down teh line another group will go on a killing spree..will u give them autonomy too...autonomy will solve nothing... neither more federal resources unless the money is spent for the betterment of teh people...when teh baloch can neither afford electricity or food than how can their situation improve..giving thousands of acres of agricultural land to benefit foreigners will not help...distribute the land amongst balochis and tell them to work it for their own benefits.....teh consequences of such policies will not result in any permanent peace...money to provincial governments that do nothing for the peopel and supposed autonomy for politicians to enforce a tribal dictatorship on unhappy balochis can hardly be a formula for success...teh same sort of autonomy was given to Fata with terrible consequences...The limitation of being pakistani have tobe enforced...what control the federal govenment has over a province barring sending in the army is unclear...

Sep11-2009--In what seems tobe a covert campaign to build up a pariah coup plotter the dawn prints a number of articles trying to create an unholy picture of the most crooked general that teh pakistan army has ever produced...living it up in england on apparent saudi, US and pakistani government contributions....teh general called a good son of india by vajpayee is trying to change his image of an american indian agent who sold pakistan out of fright on just one phone call...pakistan has been living the terrible consequences ever since...

Sep11-2009--the punjab finance minister says that punjab only getting 47% resources versus a 57% population...since most resources are population based punjab forcing division on that stance...other provinces have already carved out seperate resource allocation demands with sindh said tobe teh prime looter...nwfp wants huge hydel royalties ...balochistan vying for gas surcharges...and sindh saying teh collection office is in sindh...all the smaller provinces have built spurious cases of how their resources have been lost/ looted/denied while punjab has been unable to build up any case being described by everyone as teh bully but who is being suppressed or treated as an under dog lackey who can be pushed around by the PPP regime

Sep11-2009--student nurses in layyah being victimized for protesting maltreatment as workers at teh unused carriage factory protest late delivery of salaries...GOP buys carriages from china instead

Sep11-2009--There is apparently no shortage of sugar giving many teh impression that the PPP regime is deliberately creating a crisis to help out its rich sugar mill sponsors like teh mirzas and forcing the peopel to buy a commodity at a needlessly higher price...most sugar mill owners are politicians on all sides of teh political spectrum

Sep11-2009--with iraq increasingly looking like a peaceful state many argue that the US has succeeded in destabilizing a relatively peaceful pakistan and making it more reliant on its need for aid and weapons...pakistan however is only trying to get second hand equipment due to a strong indian lobby frightened of even pakistani torpedoes and second hand humvees from iraq which the technologically backward or poor pakistanis consider highly sophisticated...

Aug2-2009--building collapse in karachi's khajoor bazaar kills 14

Aug2-2009--government inits continued misgovernance now wants nepra jurisdiction enforced forcibly...teh government has been continuously making bad decisions in this regard and Nepra is merely a front for the meanness or nastiness of the PPP regime...towards something that directly effects everybody...the government has yet to reduce electricity prices and is always willing to go along with price hikes...the government should also ensure that people like Tareen, teh iMF and teh finance ministry dont start hiking prices just on their personal whims...no where in teh world are electricity prices handled in such a shoddy, haphazard and inconsistent manner...the government wants price hikes even when the main ingredient in electricity...petroleum product prices are not rising...the government also seems unable to factor in high hydel generation which should effect prices somewhat...ten years ago wapda was making well over Rs200 billion and now should be making well over half a trillion with much higher prices and it is totally incredulous to suggest that prices have tobe hiked for any reason...

• Jun8-2009--Military spokesman says all indian defence spending pakistan specific as they can hardly fight china and its small neighbours sri lanka, nepal, burma and bangladesh are too small to even figure in defence matters...he said that pakistan militaris huge budget Rs318 billion almost equaled development spending last year but has ended up 15-20% higher than the federal development program in which the government says it allocated only 189 billion of the 373 billion upto May...even that development is invisible as the government did little but fight terrorism... The armed forces budget is very inflexible and there is no interchange in resource allocations between priorites old or emerging...military should many suggest reallocate operational resources to emerging realities rather than remain rigid...for example if a bullet or missile or soldier or tank or petrol is needed more in malakand and swat than obviously it can be shifted from one ordnance depot/base to another...
