Iraq invasion has been really good for Pakistan. That is if you don’t follow kommie leftie news media in Pakistan and abroad. Here are the benefits:
Thanks to Iraq invasion, most of the arab militants left Afghanistan and Pakistan’s tribal areas.
It opened up the possibility of sending Pak troops over to Iraq.
Pakistan has already benefited from having just the tribals and few central-asian militants fighting in the tribal belt. Had arabs militants been around, this trouble would have been much bigger.
Pakistani lefties have created so much pressure that Pakistan has not sent over the army to Iraq. The day we kick lefties out of our decision making process, we will be much better off. We can easily afford sending 200,000 troops over to Iraq. This will bring stability and peace in the country and US army will be leave the area.
Any thought on 1 or 2 or both points. Thank you and Ramzan mubarak.
It's like inviting others to a Iftaar party in which the main course is your brother cooked over a fire and then thanking Allah for the food you have received...
Ramadan Mubarak indeed...
Your mentality is indeed the hope for all the Muslims...
Look who is talking!
Those middle eastern are no brothers of any O Rafeek and Miskeen!
They have been roasting each other for thousand years and will continue doing so for the many thousand years to come. Brotherhood is zero in the Middle Eastern dictionary. Look at what they did to Hazrat Usman and Hazrat Ali.
Fast forward to Hujaj bin Yousaf. He wasn’t just roasting Christian brothers. Muslims were also BBQed by this equal opportunity chef.
Why to content with old history. Our Iraqi brothers roasted Irani brothers for 10+ years. They didn’t care if the killer gas, or missiles, or bombs are going to destroy someone who said La-ilaha-Illallah.
Now see how Hummus Hammas has roasting Palestinian police officer in his burnt out office.
Now Al-Quaida has declared Jihad against Shia brothers. Oh wait, for Wahabibis Shias are no Muslims.
If you pick on Pakistanis for roasting brothers you surely are misguided.
p.s. Ramzan Mubarak. (it is Ramzan and not Rama-Dhan).
antiobl when are we going to say thanks to God over the dead bodies of your relatives or family members? nothing against u, ur family or others being killed by the USA terrorists and others who share your ideas of love and peace. i feel no sympathy for them nor i have any for your family. so they die or your family, its all the same. pls do incite us to party when they will die. :k:
Antiobl.. why would sending army to Iraq benefit Pakistan? US army will leave & PA will get slaughtered. Pro-Iraqi organizations will step-up attacks against pak. Shia population in Pakistan might aswell get very angry, and civil disorders may start to take place. Not to mention Iran, who may also start to support the shia uprisings.
I am totally against PA going into Iraq. America started the war. It is their responsibility to finish it. Pakistan will not do their dirty work.
& no we cannot afford to send an army of 200,000 easily to Iraq. Do u know how big our army is right now? Do u know how many troops are present in Waziristan? Do u know how many troops are present in Kashmir? Do u know how many troops it takes to guard a 3000Km border with ur biggest enemy? Not to mention the 40,000 who r already up on the Afghani border. Do u know what PA's current budget is? Do u know how expensive it will be to have such a big army in a battlezone?
Perhaps you should research more about our military before posting.
ooooh those 10 foot tall terrorist. oooh they will kill our army. Bunch of durpokes pretending to be intellectuals.
Yeah right. They will be vewy vewy angwy on the army trying to save them from Wahabibi arabs. What kind of logic are you following?
True Kommies and lefties say exactly what’s written here. It is NOT American war. Iraqis were dying at the hands of Saddami Sunnies, and now they are dying at the hands of Zarqawi sunnies. It is very much an Iraqi problem. Pak army can’t do it all but it can certainly help a great deal to bring peace to the innocent Iraqis.
This world is not meant for durpokes and weak hearts. Sure Pakistan has some problems. However we can easily raise 200,000 army (roughly 20 divisions) of soldiers, police officers, engineers, and doctors who are ready at 24 hour notice to respond to any major disaster around the world.
Off course we still have some durpokes who love to pussy foot around the issues.

Our military is to defend our nation, not to police the world (thats US military's job) or fight someone's else war or clean up the mess left by someone else invading someone else.
Our defense has two aspects. One defending the geographical boundaries, and the second is the strategic-economic boundaries. You can’t defend one by ignoring the other. We haven’t raised 500,000+ army to sit home, eat, drink, and sleep. Half of them should be given a mission within the country and the other half should work overseas.
Stability and trade in our neighborhood that comprises central asia, and the middle East is key to our long term survival. It is pathetic that we treat the fire in our neighborhood as America’s fire. If we don’t go and extinguish that fire, soon our house will be burned as well.
We can stay home hiding in our attic, people will take away wealth from our neighborhood and we will be left with nothing. It is time we rid ourselves from the durpoke (fearful) attitude and go out there to make sure our interests are safe.
Please answer all the questions I asked you, before demanding PA to goto Iraq.
And by the way, we don't have an army of 500,000+. Those r the old figures. This is 2005, and a lot has changed since then.
Being a durpoke has nothing to do with this. There is nothing we will gain if we goto Iraq.
First of all, learn how to spell.
Secondly, Pakistan’s (mainly Sunni population) relations with Iran (mostly Shia) are not very good. This division is already present in Iraq. If we send our military there, tensions against Sunnis in Pakistan will arise - and that is the last thing we need, considering Pak-India Kashmir issue, Afghan war - Pak issue, Waziristan Issue, and now u want to worsen relations with Iran.
If it is not American war, then why r they there? If they cared so much about the world, why didn’t they go to the Africas where a big number of nations are ruled by the corrupt and the military dictators. When they send aid to Africa, it ends up it goes directly in the hands of the corrupt leaders, and the people are left to die. Why doesn’t America do something about that? u know why? because Africa doesn’t offer them anything (i.e. oil).
If it is an Iraqi war, then why the heck is America present there? Let the Iraqis fight for themselves, and if they need help, they will call whomever they want. It is funny how America, uninvited, steps in the Middle-East, but not in Africa.
Who are you to decide for whom the world is meant for?
Sure Pakistan has some problems, now please briefly explain how we can EASILY raise an army of 200,000 & send it to Iraq. I am waiting.
So, I am a p*ssy because my opinion differs from yours and it is hard for you to swallow?
I ain’t talking to some billie (pussy cat) from Lahore. Man your attitude puts brave Pakistanis to shame. Do some justice to your name sake. Behave like a cheetah or even better a bubber sher (lion). Right now I am just hearing mion mion (cat’s mew).
Pakistan is not safe untill the military knows its place. Fact is, if we compare Pakistan and India one striking thing sticks out - India’s progress is a direct consequence of coherent and working government policies.
As for Pakistan, policies always take an irrational turn to support military policies (including so-called right-wing policies like supporting Taliban) much to the detrement of the country.
Not only that, while the military is busy playing politician, there skills as actual warriors is no doubt being pulled downward…Pakistan has a not-too good military record when it comes to strategy (i.e. from the generals on up, the country has a bunch of idiots calling the shots).
The military needs serious reforms, and needs to focus on it’s primary mission…
Oh Baboo! you are talking about apples and oranges. Remember we are not Bharatis. If we were, we wouldn’t have gotten a separate country.
For military generals, it is utmost important to go overseas and protect Pakistani interests. This can be as simple as small missions like rescue ops for floods earthquakes, to more complicated missions like bringing peace in the middle east.
don’t waste your time on him. he is a lost cause. he enjoys the death of muslims.
