Please check our reconrd since inception. ggg That is on lighter side but a fact, I have on these pages exposed the glaring lies that are sold to the US public so as to malign the image of my nation with best of efforts. This is happening day in and day out. Lahore is my place of business plus every newspaper is carrying the story today, I just talked to SP Lahore he tells me his entire command was placed under US elite forces who led the attacks and flew in from one of the bases within Pakistan with the goggles and paraphernalia that goes with it. Faisalabad and Lahore are third and second largest towns in Pakistan. By the way when was the last time US had been given this free hand to operate in any of the Islamic countries ( Saudis are not ready to surrender their prisoners from Al Khober up until now-Egypt refuses to acknowledge the crazy pilot who ran the plane in the sea) other than Latin America like Columbia or Panama or Japan under occupation never a sovereign nation has allowed this to happen, we do this because we as a nation want to get rid of this menace, naturally our enemies who have greatest of the sway over US media cannot swallow all this, their whole dream that we will implode under 'Talebenisation' has become a nightmare as Pakistan comes off dark ages since 9/11 and have become a respected member of global community, we played a role in it, we take greatest of pride. The nation is behind it, the coup never happened, the party has just begun, where others were looking for US to make hot pursuits in and around Parachinar or Qilla Urrah vali the escape routes of these Al Qaeda, US- Pakistan went for the jugular in the heartland and within the hinterland of Punjab a dagger in the heart of these extremists. Attacking Lahore/Faisalabad havens with US commandoes is like attacking London Derry ammunition dumps of IRA. The guy who actually suspected to kill Daniel hails from Toba Tek Singh a town 50 miles from Faisalabad, by denying them sanctuaries and safe havens US has now an upper hand... deny them place to convene and put them on run that is right now the biggest business concern of US to do business and to protect the intellectual overstretch of US you need the stick and need to shove it up too. President Bush butters it right and inserts it enough to give them the right run. Resolve and chase makes the difference between avoiding future crisis and having one, that is where a hard line President in this crisis was required someone who may not go for appeasement and encouragement of terror.
