Re: Shamsi Airbase
no wonder we love to believe whatever gora says
what investigation??? do you know the checkposts were 2.5 KM inside the pakistani border? and do you know both posts were almost 1 KM appart from each other? and do you know the attach continued for more than 1 hour (some news say 2 hours) and do you know ISPR clearly said they “pleaded” NATO command to stop the attack and conveyed them that its Pakistna Army they are bombing, just in case if it was a mistake, but it continued, and do you know there were probably 2 helicopters and 2 A-10 fighter aircrafts involved? and do you know these check posts are not some like a remote post which will be difficult to identify, they were well built and well recognized posts with proper flag and markings, GPS coordinates/ map-references were shared with NATO several times to avoid any miss-understanding. If investigation is to be done, it should be to find out who ordered the attack, and who down played the request to stop (that’s humiliating to even say this now, we should have retaliated, not requested to stop) the investigation if any, should clearly name the responsible and nothing less than a court martial should be accepted.
As for Shamsi Airbase, its not enough at all Pakistan needs to deny then its airspace, regular american/nato flights from their aircraft career in the arabian sea to the bases in Afghanistan use the length of Pakistan’s airspace that needs to stop, only vacating shamsi base is not enough, but its important anyway.
From what you are saying and I am reading , US was testing the waters as to what will happen if they invade Pakistan and how strong Pakistan Army is to deal with it. What do you say about that ?
