WASIQ1'S PAKISTAN Blog: December 2011

Well 700m US $ is a lot of money indeed for a poor country like Pakistan in a hard hitting recession and trade imbalance. Anyways I am having a fish tonight for supper...this is a true Pakistani Fish so i believe...sold by a Pakistani fisherman who came all the way from his Pakistani village by the sea on a Pakistani cycle carrying besides him and the fish basket (Pakistani) and Pakistani tools of trade....He chopped and sliced the fish and put it in a plastic tray made in Pakistan from to the best of my belief Pakistani raw material and machinery.
The Oil and spices we are using to cook this fish are all Pakistani ...I do sincerely hope that the Pakistani who eats this All Pakistani remain a Pakistani no matter what. lol

Yesterday every news channel and newspaper ( even the USAID sponsored) were bragging about the Shamsi base.Pakistan claimed that it is now completely vacated by the US and is under the Pak Army control.well done bravo...bravo
Interestingly if i am not mistaken Pakistan never accepted such a base under US control existed.It was said that its an old unused airstrip used for logistics support in emergency.Well from the pictures that are released with Pakistani troops after the US/NATO/ISAF/CIA/whatever... withdrawal seems like a fully operational AirBase.So First of All I would like to Thank the US Senate for funding an Air base capable of landing Big military and commercial airplanes in the remote region of Baluchistan,Pakistan.The more the merrier with ever increasing air traffic both military and commercial in the region you never know when An American General or Senator needs a safe place to land in an emergency.Landing is very Important.
