Re: Spying / Intelligence gathering
very very weak sarcasm . i hope you can do better or else you'll keep trying....
Re: Spying / Intelligence gathering
just plain answers, where did u see the sarcasm in it boy
Re: Spying / Intelligence gathering
Most intelligence in South Asia beyond information gathering is also about causing mayhem and destabilising the country..Pakistan in the 1980's had one of the highest concentration of spies in the world..there were bomb blasts as almost routine at one stage..
Anyway in a Pak context jump in a taxi in Karachi or Peshawar nowadays..you probably will bump into a spook pretty fast

Re: Spying / Intelligence gathering
I think CM will make a good spy, or any intelligence related work that requires thinking.
Verizon, you will also make a good Spy. When you put your Hoodie on, I can’t tell if it is you or some FBI guy.
The only thing that I find attractive in spying related work is access to chicks of all nationalities.
Re: Spying / Intelligence gathering
I think CM would make a good spy too..corporate spy..he would be the undercover brothuh for Dunkin Donuts and get the crispy cream secret creme recipe. :k:
Re: Spying / Intelligence gathering
Sheikh Saab you'd make a good spy.. your work for Saudi intelligence (an oxymoron perhaps) is of the highest calibre...
Danda Sahib I am less impressed with your work..as such I'd recommend you again to consider working strictly for Raw ..Mossad operates low key..
Verizon: Strictly phone tapping...
Re: Spying / Intelligence gathering
Zakk saab, I am playing down to the level of the competition. Look forward to your next “hai allah” thread. :k:
Re: Spying / Intelligence gathering
I got no problem with spying as long as Mossad says its Halal...err... Kosher.
So CM what say you coming from a diplomat, is spying ok or should we put Bolton(hopefully) and Kofi in a bout.
Re: Spying / Intelligence gathering
^ Why use Bolton when we have OG?
Re: Spying / Intelligence gathering
Madhanee Get your colors straight, thats a SS jacket, and yes it is bullet proof.
OG is too strong for UN, Bolton is the watered down version of OG and UTD combined. I would like to see AK replace Kofi in UN (if he is allowed past the security gate).
Re: Spying / Intelligence gathering
Hmm I have this image of Sheikh madhanee as Fidel castro...very disturbing...
