Filed Under U.S | Leave a Comment

The top US general Norton Schwartz has warned that Russia would be crossing red line if it used Cuba as a refueling base for nuclear capable bombers. A Russian newspaper has said citing highly placed sources that Russia could use Cuba as a refueling base for its nuclear capable supersonic bombers called White Swans in response to the missile shield plan which the US wants to set up in Europe.

If Russian’s action would be crossing a red line, what is the setting up of a missile shield in Europe?

After his exoneration from the charges of raping a girl, Dr. Masood filed a defamation suit against former chief minister Pervez Elahi, JUI chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman and nine others men of repute and position and the additional district and session judge, Mohammad Masood Bakhsh Hashmi has issued non- bailable warrants of arrest for them.. The honorable judge has ordered the Inspector General of Punjab Police to produce these men of pelf and power before the court on July 25.

This is a case of independence of judiciary. Will the supporters of independent judiciary who are moving heaven and earth for restoration of particular judges help the court in dispensing a fair judgment? Will the IGP Punjab fulfill the demand of justice?

Does Prime Minister Gillani have any power at all?

Filed Under PML, PPP, Pakistan | 1 Comment

It was said that former PM Shoukat Aziz was a showpiece prime minister only and the real powers were in the hands of President Pervez Musharraf. We are seeing a repetition of the same situation in the new government as well. It seems that PM Gillani is prime minister in name only. The real powers of the prime minister are being enjoyed by Asif Ali Zardari.

Important political and administrative decisions are being taken in the Zardari house. The prime minister only follows the instructions passed on to him by Zardari House. We can say that only names and faces have changed.

Five years of war in Iraq

Filed Under Middle East | Leave a Comment

The world has paid a very heavy price for the wrong US decision of mounting attack on Iraq. To punish one man, even if he was not a good ruler, and a handful of his supporters1 million innocent people have been killed and more than 40 thousand have been rendered homeless. And in this war, half as long as the Trojan War, American’s loss of over forty thousand soldiers is not insignificant. Either.

It has been proved beyond doubt that allegation of producing WMD was groundless .It was all a game for capturing of oil fields of Iraq. It had no connection of whatsoever with war on terror. The attack on Iraq was an act of terror in itself. Blood is thicker than water or not but Americans have proved that, blood is cheaper than oil.
