For many years , War unequal benefits ... less than a distinguished record for the army criticized in power rightly . But there is

quite a bit different in the last ten years : the army is fighting a shadow war , to get the whole truth about that is difficult , but

certainly is an above : it has almost lost 5,000 officers and soldiers in this conflict ... more together than in all other wars.



Grinds on this war and. Despite the farce of conversations people are few illusion of himself that stop time is in the foreseeable

future . In the traditional and alternative military belt north Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Punjab parts, there is not a village , not flap in

the cemetery , the national flag on the grave of a soldier fallen. However, consider the greatest irony will give : Those who have

been spared from this war - right-wing political parties that keep the one Timberland Taliban , and not to the right journalists

Taliban hit list - rail hoarsely against her loudest , the self- rendering in the process , making the representation useless as 



soldiers and the victims of our officers .

From the dead of families , on the other hand , it has not a call, not a squeak Should Give in ten years of war in question the

validity or suggesting that their near and dear ones died in vain . If anything, they are brought proud of the sacrifices fathers

mothers and say that if they offer begat sons for the country would do so. So irony is the rich : Dying are soldiers of the army,

Fauji Belt of children or the poor of places Sabzi Mandi. Shed crocodile tears and wears the mantle of peacemaker are those who have

lost nothing by this conflict. In fact, gift for her appeasement , on full display in Should Give days , makes Neville Chamberlain ,

appeasement of the father of the modern , look like a Viking warrior .

So the point is : the victim not to atone for his sins past the army or civilian do our leaders who ruined himself by military deep



stains of cooperation, want a higher fine ? Does the army sacrifice 5-10000 more can be said political leadership before the soldiers

of the country ha are your sins washed away ? And who are are give leaders? Who while they speak of war and so emotional peace and the

ultimate fate of the nation falls , is difficult ha impossible to take a step into the tribal areas to order a fighting to show

solidarity with our men. Musharraf to his lasting discredit , thought it not fit to go there. Zardari president emulate his example ,

Miranshah too far away for him to far away as he . Prove for Nawaz Sharif President of American One , a British Prime Minister , would

not be able to survive such indifference. We seem to live according to other rules .

The young officer in a north-south or Waziristan , Bajaur, Mohmand written or how he would take it all? When he and his men risk their

lives every day, what would he desperate attempts of all those Taliban , the very enemy whose improvised explosive devices and

ambushes have men and his comrades to make killed and wounded appease ? As if we have not never use enough with senior ministers

language that would in established democracies minister against a former army chief . " Mard ka bacha ban ... " ( point to the son of

a man ) . ... Which is the latest addition to national discourse Gen. Stan McChrystal , the U.S. commander in Afghanistan , was from

Rolling Stone things than to say quotes about his political bosses a man in his position should not say. 



Obama president sent him home . That was it. It is showmanship gave none of the above or civilian supremacy of law. Put everything in

Pakistan's specific environment. Here is an army chief , relatively fresh, and his job is trying to play things by the book , do

everything in his power to visit civilian concerns. And we have a political cast of characters on television and the Cowboy in

relation to Musharraf , wax loud and hard to play on the supremacy constitution. Have school of political thought to which politicians

give to subscribe? School to Ganz, the one the maid former dictator - Gen Ziaul Haq blessed - and received his political training from

him. And also as a helpful army chief , who invites taunts about his helpfulness , is moved to anger. Because you have to make us no

mistake, the press release quoted him as saying the army , that the honor and dignity of the army in any case would be protected , is

a sign of anger - a way of saying that enough is enough.

Anyone who downplay the warning give is cordially invited to do so . But that does not come every day army , with such statements. He

does so only when it was egged on the wall or too much depressed feels when others fail and between the means of communication ....

Office and the Prime Minister's General Headquarters. You have not read army of secret files in order to know that the big deal with a

give his opinion in weight shoulderstand days is the head over how the government talks leads with the Taliban - the army feel that is

too much away , without consideration. Chances are give vague discomfort would a while , without a head was a , if not the government

have been stupid enough to hard to push on another front : Musharraf's high treason trial .



Islamabad rumor would suggest that the army circles were probably had been under the impression or understanding that once Musharraf

made ​​appearance before a court would allow for him to things and it would make it easier to go abroad. Not only that this does not

happen , we had the spectacle of two senior ministers Asif Saad Rafique and - to preserve a reputation both belligerence - Tearing in

Musharraf. Army circles serve , and retired, were not amused. But was placed in the near Tarbela Ghazi available from the immediate

context Gen Raheel Sharif visit to Special Services Group headquarters. The SSG has been in the forefront of the fight against the

Taliban. Ghazi was fatal The basis of the venue Taliban attack , leading to many deaths in Musharraf's time .

Should we want to remember give, that was Musharraf SSG , SSG one of the formation where a closer is camaraderie between officers and

soldiers as arms. In addition, Musharraf what else can one say of , and his manner was easy and his staff subordinates , making him .

Become a popular commander So there is at the base of Ghazi Gen Raheel was asked questions about the Musharraf study. This seems all

was after the turning point. The chief patience boiled over in the press release of this result SAME evening. ( 1) Pakistan's history

of coups and Physical capacity of the army for carrying out another coup should things come to : Those who say , and rightly so, that

is no business of the army , is to speak through press releases, should be two things keep in mind that despite the nonsense we think

about the fact that this is a new with a Pakistan independent judiciary and media to an Independent hear juvenilia we should not to be

taken seriously ; and (2) the sad fact is , today along Pakistan holds the not Islam or the Constitution of 1973 or any political

party, the army but . Remove the scene from the army, they demoralize further , Pakistan, and is a prime candidate for the next

Yugoslavia. No to say nice thing, but is worth somewhere submission . Is a great thing constitutional status , and we should all is

not for the civilian excuse as should be irresponsibility. The last time that the confirmed PML -N is a constitutional banner of like

a Spanish bullfighter ended implementation .

We know what happened. Far from killing away bull is found himself lifted into the sky. Certainly, nobody wants to see give interested

that experiment repeatedly , so too soon
Four coups , long years in power, unequal war effort ... unless renowned in the Army Rightly criticizes . But it is a little different

in the load ten years: the army is fighting a shadow war on Which all truth is difficult to achieve achievement , but about one thing

is Certain : She has lost about 5,000 officers and men in this conflict ... more than in all other wars combined . And this was

prolonged is . Despite the farce of Negotiations few people are under the illusion did the factthat it will end soon .

In the traditional alternative military belt of Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, parts of the north is not a village , not flap in the

cemetery of the national flag on the grave of a soldier fall .

However, de greatest irony Consider this : Those who are safe from this was - Political parties who have a right spot for the Taliban

, not to Appropriate journalists Taliban hit list - rail against it the strongest , self -representation hoarse in the process by

Which the representation as useless sacrifice of our soldiers and officers .

All the families of the dead , on the other hand , does not have a call , no squeaks , in the ten years in question the validity of

the war did Suggesting Their near and dear ones died in vain . In any case , They Are proud to put the victim , the fathers and

mothers say If They had other children of the country 's offer and would .

So the irony is rich: Army soldiers are dying , children Fauji tape or the poor in places like Sabzi Mandi. Shedding crocodile tears

and wears the mantle of peacemaker Are Those who have lost nothing by this conflict . In fact , his gift for appeasement , fullscreen

thesedays , makes Neville Chamberlain , the modern father of appeasement , looks like a Viking warrior .

So the point is : do not sacrifice the army to atone for sins of the past and Their make our civilian leaders who spoiled by the deep

stains of military cooperation , want a Greater Good ? Does the army 5-10000 sacrifice more soldiers before the political leadership

of the country can say , yes , your sins are washed ?

And who are these leaders ? Who while you speak so feelingly of war and peace and the fate of the nation, it is difficult , if not

impossible , to step into the tribal areas to show solidarity with our fighters . Musharraf to his lasting discredit , thought not fit

to go there. President Zardari to emulate his example , Miranshah too far for him Because He was too far away for Nawaz Sharif . A

president of the United States , a British Prime Minister would not be able to survive examined indifference . We SEEM to live by

different rules .

The young officer in South and North Waziristan , Bajaur , Mohmand or written , How Could he have it all ? When he and his men risk

Their Lives every day what he would do to appease all the desperate Attempts of the Taliban , the enemy Whose improvised explosive

devices and ambushes have his men and comrades killed and wounded ? As if did was not enough we have with the language Minister ,

Minister in established democracies would never be used against a former army chief . " Mard ka bacha ban ... " (show yourself to be

the son of a man) ... is the latest addition to the national discourse .

General Stan McChrystal , the U.S. commander in Afghanistan , which Rolling Stone to say things about Their political bosses , a man

in his position shoulderstand not have Said quotes . President Obama sent him home . That was it . There was no grandstanding on

civilian supremacy or the rule of law .

Put everything in the specific environment of Pakistan . Here's an army chief, Relatively fresh , work and trying to play things by

the book , do everything possible to visit civilian Concerns . And we have to play with a cast of political figures , the cowboy on TV

and in relation to Musharraf , strong and hard wax on the supremacy of the Constitution . To Which school of political thought have

thesis politicians subscribe? No school , the maid a previous dictator - Gen Ziaul Haq blessed - and he received his education policy.

And so the Army chief helpful, invites teasing about its usefulness is moved to anger . Because let's make no mistake , the army press

release quotes him as saying did the honor and dignity of the army would be protected in any case , it is a sign of anger - a way of

saying enough is enough .

Anyone who downplay this warning is welcome to do that. But the army does not come every day , with thesis statements . He only does

it When prodded or pressed against the wall feels too , and when to other Means of communication fail .... Between The Prime Minister

and the HQ.

One does not have the secret military archives to read to knowthat the biggest thing on your mind did weighs thesedays is the head of

the way the government is in talks with the Taliban - the army feels there too far without return .

Not only that, this does not happen , we had the spectacle of two important minister , Asif and Saad Rafique - we both preserve the

reputation of belligerence - Tearing in Musharraf. Circles Army , serving and retired , were not funny .

However, de immediate context visit to Special Services Group headquarters was near Tarbela Ghazi Gen Raheel Sharif available . The

SSG HAS BEEN at the forefront of the fight against the Taliban. The base Ghazi what the scene of a deadly Taliban attack, leading to

many deaths in the era of Musharraf. We must remember what Musharraf did the SSG , the SSG workout where there is a closer partnership

in between officers and soldiers and the poor .

It is likely thatthis would make a vague discomfort kept time without a head When the government had not been stupid enough to push

hard on another front : the trial for treason of Musharraf. Islamabad rumor Suggests did military circles were probably under the

impression , or had been givenName to understand once did Musharraf made ​​to appearance in court would make things Easier for him and

he would be allowed to go abroad .

Remove the army from the scene , Further demoralize , and Pakistan is the leading candidate for the next Yugoslavia . Not a nice thing

to say , but it's worth Submitting anywhere . Constitutional status is a great thing and all that must be for them , but Should not be

used as excuse to for civil irresponsibility .

The last time the PML -N flag of the Constitution confirmed did finished performing as a Spanish bullfighter . We know what happened .

Far from killing a bull hey what raised to the sky .
