Notice sent to US for vacating Shamsi airbase within 15 days: FM
2011-11-30
[Dawn] Foreign Minister Hina Rabbani Khar said on Tuesday that in line with the decisions of the Defence Committee of the Cabinet, a notice has been sent to the United States for vacating the Shamsi airbase within 15 days.

Terming the NATO
...the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. A cautionary tale of cost-benefit analysis....
/Isaf attack on border posts in Mohmand
... Named for the Mohmand clan of the Sarban Pahstuns, a truculent, quarrelsome lot. In Pakistain, the Mohmands infest their eponymous Agency, metastasizing as far as the plains of Beautiful Downtown Peshawar, Charsadda, and Mardan. Mohmands are also scattered throughout Pakistan in urban areas including Karachi, Lahore, and Quetta. In Afghanistan they are mainly found in Nangarhar and Kunar...
Agency as the breach of Pakistain's illusory sovereignty and violation of international law, the Foreign Minister said, "time has come to review our relations."

Talking to PTV, the Foreign Minister said Pakistain has supported the international community in the war against terrorism and has rendered great sacrifices.

She said Pakistain's positive cooperation must be recognized at international level and should not be taken as its weakness.

The minister said Pakistain's illusory sovereignty and territorial integrity must be respected at all cost.

She categorically stated that the nation and the government would not tolerate such incidents in future. "We don't want any aid or assistance, but we want to live with dignity and honour."

Khar said Pakistain wants complete clarity from the international community about its illusory sovereignty.

She said that Pakistain's attitude towards the international community has been positive and it wanted to move forward with honour and dignity.

"It is up to Pakistain's political forces to evolve future strategy, keeping in view the current situation," said the minister.

"It is for the first time that the decision to halt NATO supply was taken at the highest level," she said.

The foreign minister said the government's focus was on preserving the national interests, adding, "We cannot sacrifice our national interests."

Anyhoo, DEFENCE.PK/FORUM > HINA/RINA > [TheNews.com.PK] NATO APOLOGY WILL NOT BE ENOUGH: KHAR.

* SAME > ENOUGH IS ENOUGH, PAKISTAN SAYS "NO" TO US PRESSURE: FM KHAR.

ARTIC = US + ISAF M-U-S-T guarantee + protect the inviolate sovereignty of Pakistan, or else Pakistan will exercise its right to act in the sake of its own interests.

[ARETHA FRANKLIN = R-E-S-P-E-C-T Song here].

* SAME > SUPPLY ROUTES TO BE RESTORED [only] IFF NATO APOLOGIZES [for "unprovoked" attack]: AHMAD MUKTAR [PAK DM].

* ION NOT-SEATTLE-SLEEPLESS-IN-PAKISTAN, PAKISTANI DEFENCE FORUM > JACOBAD, PASNI AIRBASES [Balochistan] ALSO TO BE VACATED: FIRDOUS [PAK Inform Minister F. Ashig Awan].

versus

* DEFENCE.PK/FORUM > NATO ATTACK WAS "UNINTENTIONAL":PENTAGON | PAKISTAN "NOTION" ON NATO STRIKE INCORRECT: PENTAGON.

* PAKISTANI DEFENCE FORUM > PAKISTAN STOPS SHARING INTEL WID US.

* SAME > MUSHARAFF HAND OVER OF SHAMSI AIRBASE [to US vee UAE] DECLARED UNCONSTITUTIONAL, by PAK National Assembly's Standing Cmte. on Law + Justice.

Oh my.

* SAME > [Video = Dunya TV]"I GAVE THE SHAMSI AIRBASE, IT WAS A GOOD IDEA": MUSHARAFF, UAE HAS A SECOND AIRBASE AT RAHIM YAR KHAN.

Iff Sunni Pakistan is trying to help deter or prevent US war agz Pak BFF Shia Iran, IMO Islmabad had better think again wid these kinds of anti-US hardline responses.

#4  The Paks lost 3 wars to India. Their decision to take US money while undermining US efforts presented them with an easy win.

Reminder: under US sanctions, Pak foreign reserves approached zero, with Sindhi, Waziri and Balochi separatists moving against the terrorist entity. The nation-build/alliance-with-terror practises of 2 US governments is the worst folly ever devised by a US Presidency. I attacked it from day one.

#3  Before you lay waste to place, its probably a good idea to try to get your nationals out first. Then there are no human shields for the bad guys to hide behind.

#1  It's time to expel all Pak citizens from the U.S. and preferably from the civilized world.

It's not a state, it's a malevolence.
