“Maybe that’s the case; maybe they’re not gettable. I don’t know… As far as we know, they are in Pakistan,” Clinton told senior Pakistani newspaper editors in Lahore, AFP reported. “The percentage of taxes on GDP (in Pakistan) is among the lowest in the world… We (the United States) tax everything that moves and doesn’t move, and that’s not what we see in Pakistan,” she said.
JWB: Your stupidity is why I blocked you. DID SHE SAY THAT OR NOT???
Yes she did. No FACTS can convince a koolaid drinking Obamabot.

WARNING: I BLOCK ALL DEM MORONS

It will probably work. Just look what it did for american business. They all have moved out.

In any Pakistani Newspaper survey, votes are almost 50 -50. Half believe democracy is not workable in Islam.
What is the future of a country so deeply divided?

After biliions and billions of $ poured in Pak begging bowl, It is not surprising that now Government buildings have pencil and paper along with billions in pivate Swiss Bank accounts Of Army generals.
No talent or intelligence needed here.

the ball is in yr court. In view of all that u admit to, my Q remains, what is the future with such massive problems,
Simply waving the flag and saying "we will do just fine because we have been around for 63 years is just another standard balmy answer.
The Pyramids are still here after 50 thousand years. What does that mean?
Here we go again.
Forget abt any one even interested in destroying Pakistan. I am talking about the rott inside.
Do you even understand the Q?
u remind me of the little kid who picked up the ball and ran away home because he was loosing.
u probably have one more ball left. guard it well.
Finally– you said something intelligent and begin to answer where I am going and that is the government will be replaced.What I am interested in -what forces will bring abt the change in Govt/ How and what is being done by whom
Sorry to get personal but I simply have no time for un provoked sarcasm to which we both decended!

Pakistan has been a 62 year old joke.

My boss put me in charge of locating canadian newspapers that focus on indian, pakistani, indonesian, punjabi or afganistan readers. She wants me to locate these papers online and they can only be in certain providences. Mainly, Prince Edward Island, Edmonton or Alberta. These papers cannot be listed in ontario or halifax. please help me as my brain is getting fried from trying to search for these papers!

Newspapers in Pakistan have claimed that at least 200,000 Pakistani nationals have applied to enter Britain over the past year.
The shocking figure — which cannot be justified in terms of student or any other sort of visa category — was revealed in a new spat between Britain and Pakistan during current talks.

According to media reports, the government of Pakistan plans to formally complain over the delays in processing the visa applications.
The rush of applications — most of them from people claiming to be students — has utterly overwhelmed the UK Border Agencys staff at their new processing hub in Abu Dhabi.

Despite the problem being generated solely by the Pakistanis, the meeting today between Labours Home Secretary Alan Johnson and Pakistans president and prime minister is likely to focus on the delay in processing the tidal wave of applications.
Even more disconcerting is that the visa issue threatens to overshadow the real reason for the visit, which is to discuss counterterrorism issues.
According to newspapers in Pakistan, angry visa applicants have complained of long delays, unfair refusals and of being unable to retrieve their passports for up to two months during the application process.

Some of the newspaper reports claimed that there were 200,000 Pakistani passports waiting at the British High Commission in Islamabad. If that claim is true, it means that there are literally millions of Pakistanis queuing up attempting to enter Britain.

Observers have pointed out that if millions of British people decided to swamp Pakistan with visa applications, that countrys infrastructure would also buckle — never mind the demographic change which such a tidal wave of immigrants would entail.

In fact, it would be no surprise if Pakistan turned down such a large number of applicants on the basis of not wanting so many British people living in Pakistan. This was, after all, the very reason why the Indian subcontinent wanted independence in the first place.
According to an editorial in the daily newspaper, Dawn, entitled UK visa farce, no other country has such onerous requirement, whereas arguably the potential security threats they have to address are no less severe.

According to British intelligence, more than two-thirds of all terrorist plots in Britain originate in Pakistan.
It was revealed earlier this year that fewer than one in 2,000 applicants from Pakistan was being interviewed at the UKBAs Abu Dhabi hub.
It was also revealed on this website that the British High Commission in Islamabad recruits local Pakistanis to do the initial processing of visa applications — despite Pakistan being listed as one of the most corrupt countries on earth.

Ok, this one is for all but Pakistanis and Indians will be better able to understand it.
just a joke.

After digging to a depth of 100 meters last year, Russian scientists found traces of copper wire dating back 1000 years, and came to the conclusion that their ancestors already had a telephone network one thousand years ago.
So, not to be outdone, in the weeks that followed, American scientists dug 200 meters and the headlines in the US papers read:
‘US scientists have found traces of 2000 year old optical fibers, and have concluded that their ancestors already had advanced high-tech digital telephone 1000 years earlier than the Russians.’

One week later, Pakistani daily newspapers reported the following:

‘After digging as deep as 500 meters, Pakistani scientists have found absolutely nothing. They have concluded that 5000 years ago, their ancestors were already using Bluetooth and Wireless technology.

loolzz
Mommy, Dear I’m from Pakistan ( so m desi) but what I have written is a joke and could be better understood by desis… .. u enjoy it too.lolz

exact timing of good joke after i have questioned so serious topic. thanks

Excuse me but muslims should keep their nose out of what does not concern them . We in europe have freedom of speech which we value if the pope wants to condemm something let him get on with it. And if a danish newspaper wants to print cartoons good luck to them. Since when what happens in europe is within the remit of the pakistani assembly, they need to be told to shut up and clear of . Rant over.

Hitler wouldn’t have put up with their crap

The Listening Post looks at Pakistan in the post-Musharraf era.

Under President Pervez Musharraf’s government, the Pakistani media was subject to extensive liberalisation with dozens of new TV channels being launched.

But as the Musharraf era neared its end stations were closed, anchor people were ordered off the air and newspapers faced censure for reporting unfavourably on the government.

What will the coalition government and Asif Ali Zardari, the new president, mean for the media now? What will the change of leadership mean for freedom of speech?

In this week’s Newsbytes: Saudi TV station Al Arabiya’s man in Tehran gets kicked out of Iran; problems at the recently launched BBC Arabic channel as staff vote to strike; under fire Thai PM Samak Sundaravej is told to leave office because of a TV cooking show; and American cable giant MSNBC bows to pressure after accusations of overly politicising its US convention coverage.

The largest and most expensive experiment in scientific history has just been switched on beneath the French-Swiss border. If you’re not sure exactly what the Large Hadron Collider is for, perhaps our Video of the Week might help. It’s a collision of physics and rap.

I read in a newspaper recently that up to 200.000 iraqis, 50.000 afghans and 30.000 pakistanis have been injured and permanently left disabled as a direct result of western forces bombing and randomly shooting at people.

The 2 only religious people who have openly condemnned this cruelty is Bishop John shelby spong and Bishop Richard Holloway of Scotland . I have never heard of any other religious leader doing it.

When will Atheists organise rallies to protest against this barbarity?

Once again, I agree with Soliel.

And Spong may be "religious", but he’s gone so far off the rails in regards to the original tenets he followed, that he really has a religion of his own.

Additionally, what is your reference for those numbers and those claims? Make sure the site isn’t pushing an agenda.
