The PTI had announced on Sunday to take out rally to express solidarity with the Supreme Court of Pakistan in the back drop of Arsalan-Malik Riaz case. Many in Pakistan see the case as a conspiracy against the apex court.

When Imran Khan's PTI takes over, he will end Pak support (critical air supply routes which still remain open) for the NATO war/occupation/Karzai/Northern Alliance pimp regime, and end the drone attacks.

It is pleasant to know.

Pakistan has been propping up a NATO war/Karzai regime in Kabul with NATO supply routes .

The support for the NATO war with supply routes is un-Islamic, immoral, a crime against humanity, and has resulted in a lot of Pashtun deaths.

Pak Army has played a very dirty game in supporting the NATO war/Karzai regime/NA fascists/pimps with the critical NATO supply routes, previously both ground and air supplies, but now they still have the air supply routes open.

Pakistan is the only country that supplies NATO/Karzai regime with lethal supplies. Northern Distribution Network does not.

An Imran victory is conducive to ending the NATO war/occupation in Afghanistan from the logistical support aspect.

The NATO war has resulted in mostly and only Pashtun deaths.

lynx aka unknownprince, it surprises me how you continue to linger on to spread your misinformation and confusion.

Pakistan is playing a classic double game. Every kid in Afghanistan knows this. Imran Khan is no friend to the Pashtuns. He's a Punjabi politician. He represents Islamabad's interests, which can never be one with the interests of Pashtuns on either side of the Durand divide. And are you really naive enough to believe that he will end the US' drone attacks? The drones have thus far been a non-negotiable issue and there are no signs that it will change.

The only thing your precious Pakistan has to do in order to stop the drone attacks in North Waziristan, by the way, is to move its forces there. After all, the NWA groups are all pro-Pakistan. But the Punjabi generals have given the North Waziristan militants groups free reign in the agency in exchange for loyalty in any post-Karzai 2014 setup in Kabul. Make no mistake, the military establishment, who are the real backers of Imran Khan, have still not given up their dreams of conquering Kabul. We lar Pashtuns are already Punjab's slaves and they wish to enslave the bar Pashtuns as well.

The next thing you'll say is that Imran Khan will help reunite Peshawar with Kabul. And he will make Pashto the official language of Pakistan.

Pakistan supports the NATO war/Karzai regime in Kabul with NATO supply lines at Torkham and Chaman. NATO was was not possible without Pakistan supply lines.

Karzai flew aboard American choppers from Islamabad to Kabul, not from Delhi or Tehran to Kabul, but Islamabad and Rawalpindi.

Pakistan Army cooperates with the drone attacks. The government and army are together on this even at this juncture in time. Dont be fooled into thinking the US does drones without Pak cooperation.

Disinformation and distortion in the name of a false nationalism is not your card anymore. You and others, cheerleaders of war and bloodshed of Pashtuns by NATO and Pak Army (one in the same, please do not separate your NATO masters from your Pak Army masters- they sit together and decided on war that focused on Pashtun bloodshed, they sit and decide on drones too buddy)

The only thing your precious Pakistan has to do in order to stop the drone attacks in North Waziristan, by the way, is to move its forces there. After all, the NWA groups are all pro-Pakistan. But the Punjabi generals have given the North Waziristan militants groups free reign in the agency in exchange for loyalty in any post-Karzai 2014 setup in Kabul.

Buddy, your Pakistan Army supports the NATO war with supply routes at Torkham and Chaman. Pakistan Army supports drone attacks and coordinates with the US on drone attacks. This was not an issue of contention. Pakistan supports the illegal Karzai regime in Kabul with the supply routes. The NATO war was not possible without Pakistan support. ANP and PPP both support drone attacks and reopening of supply routes.

Make no mistake, the military establishment, who are the real backers of Imran Khan, have still not given up their dreams of conquering Kabul.

Imran Khan simply is ending Pakistan support on for the NATO war. The British should not have installed the Durrand line. Are you saying you want to enforce the Durrand line now now that your vision of imposed NATO occupation and imposed illegal government in Kabul is over? Even your ANP knows the reality.

We lar Pashtuns are already Punjab's slaves and they wish to enslave the bar Pashtuns as well.

Unfortunately, this is true of groups like ANP who toe the establishments line. They went along with the PPP-Army in wanting to reopen the NATO supply lines. This is true. They also support Pashtun bloodshed.

The next thing you'll say is that Imran Khan will help reunite Peshawar with Kabul. And he will make Pashto the official language of Pakistan.

Imran Khan is not a Pashtun nationalist. I simply view him in regards to the means justifying the ends. I could care less if he is a womanizer, a drinker, a playboy, or whatever.


The end of Pakistan support for the NATO war leads to the end of the NATO war.
