| 2006-03-18 |
President Bush's decision to seek Congressional support for a plan to share civilian nuclear technology with India could upset the balance of power in the region, Pakistan's Foreign Ministry said. The Foreign Ministry said Bush, who visited the South Asian neighbors earlier this month, should have offered both Islamabad and New Delhi similar deals to enhance their respective nuclear programs. The U.S. plan will "only encourage India to continue its weapons program without any constraint or inhibition," the ministry said in a statement Friday. Congress must either amend U.S. law or approve an exception for India if the agreement is to go ahead. American law currently restrict the trade of nuclear material and equipment to countries that have not submitted to full nuclear inspections, which India has not done. "The grant of (such a) waiver as a special case will have serious implications for the security environment in South Asia as well as for international nonproliferation efforts," the statement said. Pakistan is a key U.S. ally in its was on terror, but Washington is refusing to share civilian nuclear technology with it, fearing it may not be able to keep the technology from other countries. |

| #4 Perv made this speech at his installation as Honorary colonel of his old regiment - "The Dashing 16" Forty-two years after gaining a commission as a second lieutenant in a Pakistani artillery regiment, known as the ”Dashing 16,” President Pervez Musharraf became its honorary colonel commandant, reports said on Saturday. General Musharraf was installed as the honorary colonel of the Dashing 16 at Bahawalpur garrison in central Punjab province on Friday. Founded on May 17, 1956, the regiment is to celebrate its golden jubilee shortly. Speaking to the serving and retired officers of the regiment, Musharraf said the armed forces of the country were well prepared to face the challenges of modern warfare. Musharraf joined the Pakistan Military Academy in 1961 and was commissioned in the Dashing 16 in 1964. He saw action in the 1965 war with India as a young officer in Khem Karan near Lahore and Sialkot with an artillery regiment. He also volunteered and served for seven years in the Special Service Group, known as the “Commandos.” He also participated in the 1971 war - again with India - as company commander in a commando battalion and served in various command, staff and instructional positions in the army before his appointment as army chief in October 1998. |

| #2 Perv, old boy, Don't you understand? We don't trust you or your people to come in out of the rain, much less keep secure sensitive information. We don't like what's happening in the Tribal Areas, we're tired of the constant war in Jammu & Kashmir, we're tired of the two-faced Mad Mullah loving imams that run madrassas that are little more than jihad training grounds. We'd like to see India grind you into paste and flush you into the Indian ocean, but we're too polite to say so in public. If you want a deal, show us you can actually do what you pledge, and that you actually have control of your government, especially the ISI. Otherwise, go piss into the wind. |
