 25 February, 2012 02:05:00
while it is not time for one more apology for the US, the delay is welcome for Gen Kayani because with all the attention fixed on the snowballing anti- American riots in Kabul, he doesn’t want to lose the mileage that would come his way. There is convergence of mutuality of interests. ...

The same Mansoor Ijaz later made a statement that the chief of ISI, Lt Gen Ahmad Shuja Pasha, had gone to some Gulf countries to seek support for a military coup in Pakistan but this statement was ignored. If Ijaz’s first statement was as credible as to demand resignation of Hussain Haqqani how can his second statement be less credible? ...

U.S. resumes drone campaign in Pakistan

 12 January, 2012 07:25:00
Pakistan army chief Kayani is not against drone strikes, which for him, are no more than outsourcing security drill in Waziristan. His anti-American plank is more a reaction to CIA planting hundreds of Raymond Daviess to keep tabs on ISI, and to CIA using Ambassador Haqqani for visas to these Davies without GHQ knowledge. This the reason why Americans have shown no undue concern over the coup rumours and give the impression of going along with the Pakistani concerns....

 27 November, 2011 12:50:00
American investigations post 9/11 and Indian experience that predates 26/11 and go back to the time of Kargil war substantiate what Memo Gate says as a sub-text that for Pakistan, the terrorists are a bargaining chip to achieve its political, strategic and territorial objectives and that Islamabad continues to rely on terrorism as its life-line.

As long as this continues, there is little chance of Islamabad achieving any breakthrough against terrorism. ...

Message from Pakistan on the eve of Delhi talks...

 26 July, 2011 12:05:00
Put simply, Pakistan’s message to its Kashmir lobby is let the continuity in status quo remain undisturbed and let your wishes and your right to self-determination be pipe-dreams, for the present. Contentious issues like Siachen and Sir Creek may not find a passing reference. Some CBMs will find mention, however because Pakistan needs some talking points at the end of the day. ...

Nirupama Rao - Salman Bashir Talks

 26 June, 2011 09:30:00
Rao – Bashir talks have marked a qualitative change from the discourse the Shah Mehmood Qureshi introduced at the foreign ministers’ meeting (July 2010) and turned the post-meet press conferences into a noora kushti for the TRP hungry private TV channels at home. ... What holds hope is the calibrated roll back of ‘trust deficit’ in Pakistan-US and Pakistan-Afghanistan relations. And hence the conviction that the Sharm el-Sheikh initiative of Prime Minister Manmohan Singh was and is worth the effort to keep the channels of communication open....
