The Government Of Pakistan Is In Trouble By: tishbite | - Pakistan's prime minister, Yousuf Raza Gilani appealed for support Friday from parliament in a standoff between his beleaguered government and the military, saying lawmakers had to choose between democracy and dictatorship.
Tensions between the armed forces and the civilian leadership have escalated in recent months, raising fears of a coup attempt or that the army might support possible moves by a partisan Supreme Court to oust the elected government.
The Taliban And Al-qaeda Have Benefitted From A Lull In The Us Drone Campaign By: tishbite | - The US has conducted a Drone campaign in Afghanistan during the last few years which has caused withering damage on the Taliban. This campaign has effectively turned the tide of the war in the favor of the US and NATO forces and have kept the terrorists off balance for quite a while.
The attacks have crippled the terrorists to the point that terror leaders are afraid to come out into the open. This campaign has kept the organization in such a shambles that they have not been able to ... Tags:taliban, pakistan, al-qaeda, drone, drone campaign,
Downslided Us-pak Relations Will Adversely Affect Indo Pak Friendship By: Ryan | - Proverbially, the summer of 2011 following May 2, proved to be quite blistering for Pak army, not only for its fall from grace with the US, but also in the eyes of Pakistans public. Many events of this year have taken a heavy toll on the morale of Pak armys rank and file. And as the year ends, the memogate crisis widens the Pakistans civil-military trust deficit, despite army chief Gen Ashfaq P Kayanis assurances of the army not taking over yet again.
Is Peace Finally A Reality In Afghanistan? By: tishbite | - The war in Afghanistan has been ongoing for years and the fact that there are rumors of peace talks indicates to me that both sides are growing weary of war. The war has been long and costly for both sides. It has placed a severe drain on the economy of the United States. It has also placed a severe mental drain on the troops who have served multiple tours there. It has been a drain on their families and the rest of the United States. Many American and NATO troops have lost their lives and been ... Tags:peace talks in afghanistan, operation enduring freedom peace talks, operation enduring freedom

It's About Kicking Ass By: Matthew McKernan | - When you get down to it, there is only one real reason anyone gets into martial arts, to know how to kick someone's ass. Yep, I said it and I'll say it again, I don't care if you're a Shaolin Monk or Thelonious Monk, you got into martial arts because you wanted to know how to kick someone's ass. It's like the only real reason to go to a dance club is to hook up (don't trust anyone, gay or straight who says it's to dance, or the music). There's a reason why you stop going when you're attached, it ... Tags:martial arts, self defense

Role Of A Criminal Lawyer In Society By: Jeffrey Lloyd | - Lawyers form the backbone of our legal system in the country or state. Due to ever increasing crimes in the society, criminal lawyers are being hired more and more. The lawyers are bound to follow the country's established laws while advocating for their clients. Countries are generally following three systems of justice, which are, British, American and Islamic systems of law. Countries formerly under the British raj are mostly using the British judicial system, tailored according to the needs ... Tags:Crime, Lawyer, Legal, Law, Defense
Why Does Pakistan Continue To Cut Off Us Supply Routes? By: tishbite | - The Pakistanis have a habit of shutting down US supply routes which run through their country whenever things dont go the way that they want them to. The last time that this happened was after the NATO air strike which killed about two dozen Afghan troops. The issue is that NATO forces were returning fire on the positions where it was coming from which turned out to be positions occupied by the Afghan military. Pakistan says that the attack on their positions was unprovoked. So now we have tw ... Tags:pakistani supply routes, military supply routes.
Skate And Destroy By: Tug Search | - So, check it out, my friend Jay and I were skating downtown L.A. and this cop tells us we better stop or else we'll "be eating through a straw for the next month." We were like, "No way, pig" (in our heads).
This happens about every 10 fuckin' minutes in L.A., so me and Jay decided to find the cheapest place to fly to in the world and go skate there.

Hamid Karzai Seems To Be Getting Fed Up With The Taliban By: tishbite | - I have had reservations about Afghan President Hamid Karzai because of the way that he has been dealing with the Taliban. I thought that he seemed to be very nave in his dealings and Im not sure that he isnt nave now but the fact that he seems to be getting frustrated by the dealings of the Taliban offers hope.

The Coalition Continues To Attack The Taliban By: tishbite | - The US led coalition has used drones to whittle away at the Taliban for quite a while and I am beginning to wonder just how long the Taliban and al-Qaeda can last against the hail of strikes which has taken out many of their top leaders. The Obama administration has used drones increasingly in this campaign with much success.

The Role Of The Poppy In The War On Terror By: tishbite | - Afghanistan is the worlds leading producer of poppies from which heroin and opium are produced.

Pakistan Using Taliban Against India As Its Strategic Arm By: Chandan singh | - Pakistan's military thinking has perennially focused on the creation of strategic depth against India. Having failed to achieve that with its Afghan policy, Pak is now pursuing it in another way- by sending in hordes of trained & armed militants & jehadis into India through Kashmir & other porous borders. Actually it's been doing that since the last 60 years- only difference is that now the focus is on them- possibly because of India's growing friendship with the US-or the world's growing disenc ...

What Will Be The After Effects Of The Death Of Ahmed Wali Karzai By: tishbite | -
Recent headlines were the death of the brother of Afghan President Hamid Karzai. His death is certain to have some type of impact on the situation in Afghanistan and we can only speculate as to what they will end up being.

I dont believe that it will be as significant as if it was President Karzai but I do believe that it will have so ... Tags:taliban, afghanistan, karzai, kandahar

In my humble opinion this seems to be the case. When I look at recent developments in the war on terror and the fact that they have not been very successful in conducting terror attacks since 9/11 there seems to be no other answer. There have been some small terror operations but these operations have been ineffective for the most part. When they were effective other Arab people were the usual victims. They are normally scattered isolated ope ... Tags:al-qaeda, war on terror, taliban, covert ops
The Taliban Has Resorted To Using Children As Suicide Bombers By: tishbite | -
The Taliban in my opinion has reached an all time low. Now this as far as Im concerned is the lowest that anyone can go. I am not attempting to be politically correct in this article, I am just going to tell it like it is. The Taliban has resorted to recruiting, kidnapping, tricking, and even coercing children as young as eight or nine years old to do their dirty work as suicide bombers.
This actually makes me wonder how much they are committed to a per ... Tags:suicide bombers, taliban

We Can"t Win The War In Afghanistan Without Diplomacy By: tishbite | -
This is the determination of the man in charge (General David Patraeus). He is credited with bringing the situation in Iraq under control and he certainly is the man who will be able to do the same job in Afghanistan. In his assessment (and mine) we need to be able to get the Taliban to come to the table and talk about their terms for ending the war.
There are many reasons that the United States needs to go to the negotiating table in order to bring an ... Tags:war in afghanistan, troop surge,

The Afghanistan Commission Is Freeing Taliban Suspects By: tishbite | -
The Afghanistan Commission is a government organization which was set up by President Hamid Karzai. Its purpose seems to be to set the stage and do the groundwork necessary to get the new government operational. Each member was hand picked by President Karzai so this tells me that it will serve to rubber stamp whatever he wants it to do. Be that as it may the commission is releasing suspected Taliban fighters who have been captured by the United States and NATO. I a ... Tags:the afghan commission
The Haqqani Network By: tishbite | -
The Haqqani terror network operates in the region between Pakistan and Afghanistan. It is probably the most powerful network of its kind in the Middle East.

This is the million dollar question although both the Taliban in Afghanistan and the Pakistani Government strongly deny the allegation, there is a lot of circumstantial evidence which seems to point to the contrary.

Let"s Acknowledge The Hardships That Our Military Personnel Endure By: tishbite | - In most societies the military is looked at as almost an underclass group of citizens. They are basically given the job that no one else wants to do and are looked upon with disdain by many because they deal with the hardships that they endure.

The Russian President Wants Nato To Eradicate The Drug Trade In Afghanistan By: tishbite | - The President of Russia has expressed his desire that NATO eradicate the drug trade in Afghanistan. This sounds well and noble but there are many reasons that it is just not feasible and a waste of time for the NATO allies serving in Afghanistan. Now drugs are just as big of a problem in Russia as anywhere else in the world. So with that being said Russia would reap huge benefits from the eradication of the drug trade in Afghanistan.

"suicide Bombers Not Interested In Job Security", Says Los Angeles Translation Worker By: themarketinganalysts | - In a bizarre move to encourage Taliban fighters to pursue peace, the Afghanistan government is working to offer jobs with security to Taliban fighters who leave the battlefield.

Kabul Beauty School By: Jonathon Hardcastle | - There was this story on Afghanistan that hit the newswires a few weeks ago. Unlike most stories about Afghanistan that comment on the ouster of the Taliban and the end of the totalitarian regime in that country, this news story appeared to be on the other hand of the spectrum as far as seriousness and relevance are concerned, at least on the surface. The story told about this documentary that was focused on setting up a beauty school in Kabul, the capital of Afghanistan.
