And do they have any brain to think of some thing called self-sufficiency?
Or alternative alliance to off-set the US pressure?
I hope that next time the drones get those ministers who think life is a cat walk.

Absolutely, Pakistan is not without means. It has well-developed institutions and a military to secure the place. They do not need NATO or the US and can take care of their own security. It is also clear that allowing the NATO/US back in to resume operations against Afghanistan is not in their interests - NATO will use it to attack the Taliban and cause mass casualties amongst the people living near the border. The Afghan Taliban have and will be the natural allies of Pakistan long into the future.

But the question is, after all the violence and trashing the US has done, why do they keep allowing these Crusaders back-in? What has the US/NATO offered these leaders?

If Pakistan needed a big foreign power with clout, surely China is the pick - they actually share a common border, have loads of trade and politically have veto power at the UN. It has been a longstanding ally of Pakistan even when NATO and the US turned on it and left it in turmoil accusing it of being a hotbed of terrorists. There is something not clear about this which stinks of corruption. The only conclusion I can come to after considering various scenarios is someone is being offered alot of money or power if they eventually buckle under pressure from US stooges in the Pakistan political administartion.

From the first post, why did they leave out the segment on not allowing US troops/mercenaries/spies on the ground and why was the bit about Pakistani bases also left out of the final draft?

Astaghfirullah, it at times like these, that I feel inside me that our leaders actions, not once but on multiple ocassions, are indicating Nifaaq. Not just in Pakistan but this can be said about many other prominent Muslim nations aswell.

Allahu A'lam
