its about to hit the fan
i think it just did was kayani calling for a CC meeting
Kayani and specially Pasha the two BAYGHAIRATS who made several huge security blunders, failing to protect Pakistan airspace, failing to find Bin Laden hiding under their noses, and the PNS Mehran disaster. In any other country the Army and Intel Chief would have resigned but this is Pakistan!
You are a bigger BAYGHAIRAT and an ignorant one too. Its a dangerous combination.
The fact is that you both are BAYGHAIRAT, so why don't you just shut up.

good decison
Nargis sethi being is just a tool and further actions in this respect would be taken using her!
Its Prime Minister's prerogative to have any secretary removed if he thinks the man is not working in accordance with his instructions. Defense Secretary should have this in mind that after becoming secretary he was under Prime Minister and not under Army Chief. Kyani as well should accept it. There's no need to over react if Prime Minister has sacked a defiant secretary.

How innocent !
One Ex Army man (col) was telling his staff, who didn't cut a piece of paper properly to col's delight. Hum say hee kuch seekh lo, hum aik system say aey hain, at least we have a system in armed forces. Good col sb! what system did you gave to the rest when you ruled this fu….ing country for so many years, except for tearing it apart. Welcomed Russia in our neighborhood and then took a u-turn in policy. No accountability! So those consider themselves informed and others ignorant shall check their notebooks or ask their commanders if they can speak the truth.
These highly incompetent, thoughroughly corrupt politicians have made a mess of pakistan and one of the major reason for continous stand-off between military and civilian leaders in pakistan is that military generals-being very well trained through rigorous institutional courses- consider themselves far superior in security related policies when it comes to handling of these issues vis a vise civilian leaders.
Imagine what is calibre of Gilani for these issues, can he be compared with Kiyani, absolutely not.
These are the reasons for repeated martial laws and these stupid politicians have to be blamed for this mess.
