US Defence Secretary lands in Pakistan for talks
Birmingham Star
Thursday 21st January, 2010
US Defence Secretary Robert Gates has arrived in Pakistan for talks with both military and civilian leaders.
On his first visit to Pakistan, Mr Gates will have talks on how to combat militants in Pakistan's tribal areas bordering Afghanistan.
With the fight against al-Qaeda and the Taliban involving more US troops, it is known Mr Gates would also like to see Pakistan expand an offensive against Taliban in their own border regions.
On his arrival in Islamabad, Mr Gates said he would reassure his hosts that the United States would remain an important ally in the fight against militants.
With the Defence Secretary at the disposal of the Pakistani government for the period of his visit, it has been expected that Pakistan will raise the agenda of the increased use of drone strikes by the US in Pakistan tribal parts.
Hundreds of people, including civilians, have died in the attacks, which have stoked deep resentment of the US among many Pakistanis.
Mr Gates, who arrived from the Indian capital of Delhi, said al-Qaeda had been trying to destabilise the whole of South Asia hoping to provoke war between India and Pakistan.
He also suggested India might not show restraint if it suffered another attack like the one in 2008 on Mumbai.  Email this story to a friend

Gates in Pakistan to discuss terror issuesHonestly speaking, Pakistan is on the other side, not with United States.
ISI, Pakistani Establishment & fundamental Islamic regimes around the globe, have determined to bleed the NATO forces with their dreams to enslave Afghanistan in the covered name of Talibans. What option is left to secure South Asia, Middle-east and Central Asia? nothing ........but to balkanize Pakistan. Write it in your personel diaries !!!!! |

the 8:02 poster presents nonsense!Nothing of the sort he posts is truth!
While Our capitalism has become the kings and royalty 'adversarial capitalism', does not mean the capitalism of the 1940’s through to 1980, was anything like he speaks!
All of capitalism(s) have tendenacies to be abused as do all forms of government(s) have tendencies of abuse.
What can seen with 'investigation', and not simply a lable of the word, into what is happening in Venezuela, regarding a Peoples Democracy, Capitalism, as I desire it, is outperforming Our Adversarial Capitalism!
Venezuela still has those that would abuse, however the Government being a government of the Peoples, react to the abuses, and those that abuse are being weeded out by the People! No system has a record of perfection! So a Gvernment that cleanses its self is acting in the Peoples Behalf, not the special few elites'!
The 8:02 poster, has no idea of Marx or what were the beliefs of marx and lenin, Therefore, I see his entire post a lie. |

I am here ~galljDear friend, continue your attacks. Do so with all the ferocity and hatred that you have stored in you. Do not cease until your inner demons are quelled. When you are ready, I am here to hold your hand and lead you to Jesus. That you continue to suffer only makes this worse. Open yourself to the exciting awakening that awaits you when you are ready to move forward. Until then, I too am in anguish at your continued suffering. I am here to offer support and loving guidance. If you are willing, this life of disillusionment that you live can be a thing of the past. I am here for you dear friend. Jesus will change you for the better if you will only release these hostilities. I am ready. I am here. Come ~gallj. |

Ach, China !!!!!!!Ach China !! You dirty Punjabi Phoki (Ghando). You are inviting China to Punjab because Chinese young generation consists 150 million boys more than girls. The surplus 150 million Chinese boys shall not get any girl in China in future. Are you dreaming to offer these surplus Chinese boys your sisters, mothers and daughters or what? |

The problem is IslamOnce Pakistan realizes that it it Islam that is the source of most of its problems.. A country founded on Hate, Killing and SPITTING ON GOD ( AllAH) , this country will see more killings, more corruption, more death and a mighty curse on all you that continue to follow a religion that kills in the name of Allah.. there is no worse curse. as for people in the west, please spare the political correctness http://www.masihitube.com/view/2707/most-wanted-the-666graphic/ |

Hillary Clinton heldtown hall type meetings in Pakistan when she visited a few months ago. She was criticized strongly for her lack of faith in Pakistanis to control their own nation — cool site; Balkingpoints ; incredible satellite view of earth |

Pakistan and its problemsThe very foundation of Pakistan as a Country is ill-founded historically. No wonder it is a political and economic disaster ever since its foundation. Jinnah was a very selfish man, having no concern for the muslims or the state of Pakistan. He was jealous, arrogant, communal (in later part of years) and lacked governance and empathy. Pakistan at best could be summarised a historical blunder enacted
by the super powers and now they are themselves reaping the consequences, besides the rest of the world through global terror. The most intelligent tragedy with the meanest of desires.
