all a bit moot since pakistan is ruled from rawalpindi, not islamabad

Joe Biden agrees with Imran

so The One wonders if he has sympathy towards militants as well

straight up question to you PP - do you think the taliban are a nice bunch of mostly misunderstood people and do you support most of their views and actions?

No, Joe Biden still thinks the Taliban are a bunch of stoneage backward donkeyf*ckers who are an insult to humanity but that if they didn't allow a terrorist presence they would be a bunch of stoneage backward donkeyf*ckers who the US could ignore.

They have a strange way of living which i do not support and do not want to live with them! I personally don't want to live in any part of Pakistan other than the big cities where they can respect my style of living.How ever just because they have a strange way of living that doesn't make them subhuman as claimed by Lever and numerous others. The atrocities showered upon the people of Northern Pakistan are immense and inexplicable.

Lets assume that a country like China claims that a few folks living in Bombay(or London in Lever's case) under the watch of Thackeray that can potentially cause disruption in Beijing, i wonder how the two of you will react if based on that the state of China constantly sends drones over Mumbai and London killing a thousand people per year! Terrorism will be created and NOT destroyed.

wow. just wow

wow indeed...

When you have time just think about your stance so we can talk in a few months.

Hell yes... burning people alive, hanging people from lampposts

After the capture of Mazar-i-Sharif in 1998 the Taliban indulged in the "frenzied killing of shop owners, cart pullers, women and children shoppers". Women and girls were raped, and 2,000-5,000 civilians, mainly ethnic Hazaras, were massacred.

· The public execution in Yakaolang of at least 170 civilians, mainly from humanitarian organisations. "According to Amnesty International, eyewitnesses reported the deliberate killing of dozens of civilians hiding in a mosque."

Poor misunderstood likkle donkeyf*ckers!

I would ask my government why it was permitting Terrorists to thrive within my territory with abandon.

Hell if Pakistan have given up on one area of its country to Terrorist supporting stoneage people which can threaten the US, then don't expect the targetted country to sit by and do nothing. As I said Pakistan can do two things, a) declare war on the US or b) rid itself of those people who threaten other countries. Any sane progressive country would do the latter.

Just imagine Ian Botham running for prime minister... *pukes* sorry I've gotta go.. *pukes*

Botham would be as useful as this fellow in parliament

He may be deaf, he may be mute but his attendance can't be questioned.

Lever seems a bit less huggable on this thread than he is usually.

I'm only a part time Teddy Bear.

And a part-time Teddy Boy?

What the hell? How many hazaras were killed in Pakistan? Talk about painting every one with the same brush....fact is that there were no suicide bombings before 911.

So you would sit there and try to convince your government that there are terrorists around when you are being bombed from a foreign force from the sky! A foreign force whose vice president has confessed that the people around you are NOT their enemies...

I believe you Lever...

'no suicide bombings before 9/11'

everything in the garden was lovely

Fine... go join the legion of backward f*ckers willing to blow themselves up then.

At the very least ask yourself 'why' the US is taking out terrorists in Pakistan.

The phenomenon of suicide bombings actually came to Pakistan in 2002, killing 15 people and injuring 35 others in a single incident that took place on May 8, 2002 when a bomber rammed his explosive laden vehicle into a bus near the Sheraton Hotel in Karachi.

At the very least agree with me that thousands of innocent people have been killed due to this inhumane tactic of drone attacks....

I am not interested in joining any one, i am happy with my life here in the United States. I just happen to disagree with a political policy.

So convicted match fixer Azhar is an Indian Politician now?

Why doesn't that surprise me

All innocent life lost is desperate indeed. Now answer my question...

It's bad but not so bad that a match fixer with the charisma of a fig has to get elected from a constituency around 1000km away from his home. He's as useful to parliament as my left bollock. Sad because there are many very good MPs as well.

ah. it was only a 'booming' export business before then

the suicide bombers are all muslims targetting muslims. surely pakistan's problem is giving sanctuary, sustenance and active support to them. unless the pakistani nation recognises this it will either continue to suffer suicide bombings or continue to make other nations suffer, thereby inviting their wrath. surely the pakistani army cannot continue to use them as proxies to do their dirty work. they need to man up

All politicians are pirates and ship raiders. Ex-cricketers included. Pakistan seem to have the worst buccaneers steerin' ship. To gallows with 'em all.

Botham is a bastard. And what a mighty fine bastard at that.

Anyone got Imran Khan on their death list?

PP- considering the mess that's the memo scandal and subsequent corruption allegations against Zardari (conservative claims considering his reputation), has Imran Khan got any corruption taint against him. After all, his trusts do receive a lot of funds.

Seems like anyone apart from Musharraf, who could get this rot of a govt out is what Pakistan needs. That said, is a PTI PML Q alliance likely if there's a PPP PML N alliance (which will happen again if the PTI remains as popular)? Imran's denied it on many occasions but surely it's possible.

None what so ever, in that regard he is possibly the cleanest politician in the country.

Q league is almost out of the game, there is a chance of an alliance between PTI and MQM which will be rather unfortunate.

From what I've read, he sounds like a classic demagogue.
