| Pakistan gains capability to hit invisible target (Updated at 2200 PST) ISLAMABAD: Pakistan has gained what it calls ‘joint standoff weapons’ a capability through which an invisible target can be hit. The weapon, in which integrated Global Position System and Inner-shell Management System Navigation are used, is a part of a joint programme of Navy and Air force in the U.S. Joint airframe, guidance system and flight control is used in this programme which is designed on the modular programme and thanks to this system the missile can hit a target at range of 70 kilometers. The missile can hit an enemy target without entering air limits of an enemy. |

| #8 This is GW's way of trying to make his trip to India more interesting. I'm sure India's PM will want to discuss this. |

| #6 Exactly are Pakistanis giving back for all this US largesse? Last week, I read a report that the State of Utah yielded more patents last year than has the Saudi terrorist entity in its entire history. In general, Muslims contribute almost nothing to the world in either science or culture. Given the cartoon-jihad, they are no longer a source of our derisive amusement. |

| #5 The article is describing JSOW and nothing else. NATO allies, Singapore and others have ordered it, so I would not be too surprised if JSOW is being sold to Pakistan to go with the F-16s. Still, I am against it, including the reason that anything going to Pakistan is also going to China. |

| #4 Let us hope that this merely refers to a capability that the Pakistani military is advertising as JSOW, whether or not it meets our definition thereof... |
