UPDATE: April 5: More Pakistani Muslims - this time 30 in Chakwal - were martyred today by the enemies of Pakistan. Here are details from The News:
At least 24 persons died and 35 were injured at the Imambargah suicide bombing here. One killer blew himself up with explosives during annual Majlis Aza being held at the Imambargah located in the centre of the town at Mohala Sarpak of City police station area. The blast ripped apart the bodies of the faithful at the Imambargah, leaving a horrific scene of scattered body parts and blood all around the incident site.
Eyewitnesses said that following a Majlis, the faithful had crowded the main gate of the Imambargah, while those entering into the Imambargah were being frisked, when a youth 16/17 year old during checking blew himself up, which resulted in on the spot death of 20 persons, while the other four succumbed to their injuries in hospital. Four children were also included among the dead, they said. The bodies and the injured were shifted to the Chakwal District Headquarter Hospital, while some injured were sent to Rawalpindi.
Ambulances from Rawalpindi and Jhelum reached the scene of incident and stated relief operations. High police officials, DCO and heavy contingents of police also arrived following the blast. The police besieging the area have collected the evidences. Several vehicles were also damaged in the blast. Large number of people had thronged the hospital for finding out the welfare of their relatives, while the town remains drowned in an environment of mourning.
Six more Pakistanis were killed today by the enemies of Pakistan in a suicide attack in F-7 Islamabad. According to The News:
Six security men were killed and several others injured in a suicide blast near check post of Frontier Corps (FC) in Sector F-7/3 Margala Road, Islamabad on Saturday, Geo News reported. SSP Tahir Alam said security men were taking dinner when the attacker entered the check post and blew himself up, killing six of the security men and injuring several others. He denied any exchange of fire, saying the security men fired in the air to scare away any other attackers. Police has cordoned off the area. The injured have been brought to Poly Clinic Hospital. The incident has set off panic among area residents.
This is just more in the ongoing war on Pakistan by the enemies of Pakistan. Mosques are targeted in Jamrud, little girls are flogged in Swat, attacks are conducted in Lahore, Rawalpindi, Karachi, Quetta, Peshawar and everywhere in between, political leaders are assassinated in Karachi, everyday and everywhere the enemy is within us and killing us in every way. It does not help that our so-called friends are also bombing and killing Pakistanis.
But why, oh why, are too many are still reluctant to call these suicide bombing murderers what they are. How may Pakistanis must they kill off before Pakistanis recognize the face of the enemies of Pakistan?
Today, April 4, former Prime Minister Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto was killed by Gen. Zia-ul-Haq. The killing has not stopped ever since. It is not that there was not killing before that. Even Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto was himself no angel. But the demons unleashed by the this and other actions of Zia-ul-Haq continue to grow in size and sway over society. What will it take to push these demons back?

Now Government of Punjab under Shehbaz Sharif is sponsoring hate conferences…as if we don’t have enough hate already.
…and then we wonder why there is so much extremism in the country…

The people who are killing Pakistanis every day are the ones that the people of Pakistan are defending… How long will we tolerate these Taliban??????
I fear that mullah raj is already won .
Our politicians are so bad that everyone has given up on them and all that remains as an option now are these Taliban criminals.
@ razia…
Well, yes, the president Can in fact over rule on military matters….the fact that he doesnt have a military back ground is not relevent and it’s upto the president himself if he lets that stop him from desicion making….
please remember that Lyndon Johnson was picking bombong targets over North Vietnam personally at one stage…!
@Razia:
I do not disagree with you that the US government is not run by angels and has told many atrocious lies in the past which can explain the cynicism that you (and many others even in the US) have while accepting the US government’s version of any events.
But you have to be careful when you quote unverified reports on the internet as a gospel truth especially those that can not be crosschecked from other references.
Putting it another way, you are free to question the media bias of a particular event but then how can you be sure that the version of the events reported on the website you like to read and quote is indeed the objective one and free of bias itself?
Governments do lie, including the US, yet big events such as the 9/11 bombings would be very hard to fake, even by a super power like the US.
Then one has to believe that if all the world’s media (not only western media but the entire international media such as the Chinese, the Russian or the Japanese media as well) reports that 9/11 indeed occurred and only a few unheard of websites call it a conspiracy then one has to use commonsense and believe that, statistically speaking, the majority is more likely to be right than the one or two nutcases.
So if we are to look at it this way, most people believe that if the 9/11 occurred as shown on all the world’s TVs, and a guy named Bin Laden repeatedly claimed on multiple media outlets, (including several Arab networks) that he and the Al Qa’eda are at war with America and called for a Jehad against it, then logically one has to believe that BL and Al Qa’eda are indeed the reason that America became interested in our neck of the woods.
Now, when that happened and the Taliban refused to surrender BL and his murdering thugs, even after being advised to do so by several friendly governments (including the Pakistanis and the Saudi), this gave the US a perfect excuse to march in to Afghanistan in 2001.
The rest, as they say is history.
If you don’t want to believe the above course of events based on some conspiracy minded websites you like to frequent, then I am sorry, I can not help any further.
Regards.

technically and constitutionally the president can over rule but practically he has to listen and go along with their recommendations, unless he has strong military military back ground and or knowledge, which obama does not.

what is and where is alqaeda, seriously?!! with sophisticated us intelligence and military power they could not defeat ‘al-qaeda in afghanistan, in iraq, in somalia, …. may be they don’t want to. why would they, what excuse would they have to spread their claws all over the world.
you have to believe all the garbage the us media , the zionist propagand machine, feed you to believe, al-qaeda is capable to do all the things they tell you. if you want the truth you have to go to alternative sources, independent media, such as democracynow.org.
and yes i was referring to referring to the Cuban Missile crisis, the Bay of pigs and in the end what happened to kennedy.
i was living in the dark for 20 some years in this country. only in last few years i have come to realize that the reality in the us is quite different than we are led to believe.
i don’t understand the reasoning that i often hear even on this blog that talibans and others extremists are killing more people than us or israel. people forget that we did not have this ever increasing bombing and killing before the us invaded afghanistan. themore us troops in afghanistan and drone attacks in pakistan the greater the frequency of bombing.
the us war on terror gave the extremists excuse to advance their agend - the ‘islamisation’ of pakistan. yes, they should be dealth with by all means possible. but if they kill that should not mean an open season for the us or any other country to come and kill pakistanis with immunity. our government has surrendered pakistan to the us to do as they please. almost daily missile strikes followed by mullah’s bombing.
the united staes is desperate, it can’t win any where. people the world over know what the are up to except the americans.
