| 'Govt will not tolerate hot pursuit' |
| 2008-09-09 |
| The government will not put up with 'any hot pursuit' inside Pakistani territory, Leader of the House Raza Rabbani told the Senate on Monday. Responding to concerns voiced by Jamaat-e-Islami Senator Professor Khursheed Ahmed, Rabbani said there was no ambiguity in the government's policy on the war on terror, and it would not tolerate attacks against the country's territorial integrity. "We have a clear policy that no one will be allowed to violate our territorial, political and economic sovereignty," he added. Earlier, Khursheed had said that two contradictory statements -- by Defence Minister Ahmed Mukhtar and Interior Adviser Rehman Malik -- had been reported in the media regarding the suspension of supplies to the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO) troops in Afghanistan. Khursheed said one statement had said the supply was suspended indefinitely, whereas the other said it was a temporary delay. Khursheed said NATO forces had carried out another missile attack in Miranshah on Monday that had resulted in the deaths of seven people, including three women. |

| #7 If the Pak government could find some troops who are at least moderately well trained and equipped AND that we could trust, we could give them some good help in cleaning things up. 'Til then, we have to take out threats to our troops, even if they are a little over the line. |

| #5 Jamaat-e-Islami Senator Professor Khursheed Ahmed, Rabbani said there was no ambiguity in the government's policy on the war on terror, and it would not tolerate attacks against the country's territorial integrity. I got a clue for you Senator Professor, your country has no territorial integrity. |

| #4 It's not like they actually control their borders - if they did, they could stop the terrorists themselves. If they wanted to, that is: better they should go blow stuff up in Kabul than in Karachi. |

| #1 If they refuse to allow us to move supplies and kill the vermin that we need to, fine. Destroy Pakistan, kill any of them in our way and tell India they can have it back if they keep the routes open. |
