Alert: Indian Army Ready For War Against China And Pakistan Simultaneously

India, take responsibility for Karachi Terror

New clues emerge: Suicide attacks against Pakistani Shias in Karachi and Kashmir are unprecedented. There have been no sectarian or suicide attacks in Kashmir before. The attack in Karachi is the first major sectarian assault in five years. The attack in Karachi is the work of Indians. It cripples Pakistan's business hub, it aims at a civil war between Pakistanis, it puts Pakistani military on the defensive, it strengthens America's intention of invading Pakistan, it reinforces US propaganda that war is in Pakistan and not Afghanistan. The Indian role here is critical. India is responsible for poisoning the Afghan well for the Americans and for everyone else. India is the missing part in the story of how US blundered in Afghanistan.

lyrics Say (what you need to say)

John Mayer - Say (what you need to say)

Take all of your wasted honor
Every little past frustration
Take all of your so-called problems
Better put ‘em in quotations

Say what you need to say
Say what you need to say
Say what you need to say
Say what you need to say

Say what you need to say
Say what you need to say
Say what you need to say
Say what you need to say

Walking like a one man army
Fighting with the shadows in your head
Living out the same old moment
Knowing you'd be better off instead
If you could only

Say what you need to say
Say what you need to say
Say what you need to say
Say what you need to say

Say what you need to say
Say what you need to say
Say what you need to say
Say what you need to say

Have no fear for giving in
Have no fear for giving over
You better know that in the end
It's better to say too much
Than never to say what you need to say

Even if your hands are shaking
And your faith is broken
Even as your eyes are closing
Do it with a heart wide open

Wide

Say what you need to say
(repeated till fade out)

Happy Birthday ... original Little Master

1934
The Little Master was born. Hanif Mohammad firmly believed in occupation of the crease. He spent over 16 hours compiling his famous 337 in Bridgetown in 1957-58 to save a Test in which Pakistan had followed on 473 behind - and his innings of 499 for Karachi v Bahawalpur in Karachi in 1958-59, the first-class record until Brian Lara's 501 in 1994, would have been even higher if he hadn't been run out going for the 500th. According to the Wisden Almanack, "the scoreboard scarcely moved" during the last of Hanif's 12 Test hundreds, at Lord's in 1967 - but he frustrated the England bowlers to the tune of 187 not out. He played Test cricket alongside his brothers Wazir, Mushtaq and Sadiq (his last Test was Sadiq's first).

he was inducted in the Cricket Hall of Fame, the other 2 Pakistanis being Imran Khan & Javed Mianded.

looking good ... All the best !!!

Well Done NAB !!!

ISLAMABAD: A NAB court has issued arrest warrants against Interior Minister Rehman Malik, DawnNews reported.

These warrants are likely in connection with two previous references against Malik.

One of the references was for alleged misuse of authority and the other for the alleged receipt of two cars from Toyota Motors as illegal gratification to expedite the purchase of official vehicles.

A NAB prosecutor told DawnNews that all these cases against Malik and others have been revived following the Supreme Court’s verdict. The move came after the verdict against the National Reconciliation Ordinance (NRO) sent shockwaves through the present set up, with many prominent ministers placed on the Exit Control List. — DawnNews

We salute our Heroes ... the judges of the supreme court

ISLAMABAD: The Supreme Court has declared the controversial National Reconciliation Ordinance (NRO) null and void in a short order.

In a landmark decision, the apex court unanimously decided that the ordinance was unconstitutional.All old cases that had been dismissed under the NRO stand revived and can now be reopened as per the court orders.

The court said that all orders that were passed and all acquittals under the NRO were illegal and never existed.The apex court in its order also said that all convictions that were held prior to the enactment of the NRO stand revived as well.Letters made to Swiss courts requesting the withdrawal of cases were also declared unconstitutional.

The Supreme Court asked the government to take action against the former attorney general for making these requests. Presidential Spokesperson Farhatullah Babar called the verdict 'shocking' but said that the government will respect the courts decision. Babar, however, pointed out that the president and the provincial governors enjoyed immunity from legal proceedings under the constitution.

Pakistan kicks some indian @#$ again ... Hockey to be precise

Pakistan crushed archrivals India 6-3 to enter the final of the Champions Challenge hockey tournament in Salta, Argentina, on Saturday.

They will meet New Zealand , who beat Argentina 3-2 in the other semi-final, played earlier.

In a thrilling encounter, marred by frayed tempers, it was Pakistan who forged ahead when Rehan Butt beat India goalkeeper Adrian D'Souza with a deft touch in the second minute.

Two minutes later, Prabhjot Singh and Muhammad Irfan were sent off after a midfield skirmish.

India forced a penalty-corner in the eighth minute and Dhananjay Mahadik found the mark to restore parity.

The goal spurred the Indian attack and Pakistan goalkeeper Akbar India was under pressure but defended well.

Goalkeper D'Souza too brought off a brilliant save at the other end soon after off Butt, but was left helpless in the 29th minute by the dashing forward who scored with a crisp shot from the top of the circle to regain the lead for Pakistan.

Suddenly the pressure was on India and Pakistan added another goal, this time through their comeback penalty-corner ace Sohail Abbas, three minutes from the breather.

Down 1-3, India, with a mountain to climb in the second period, went on all-out attack and could have pulled a goal back soon after the restart but Rajpal Singh had the mortification of seeing his deflection going just past the far post.

But the Indians' adventurism upfront left yawning gaps in defence, which the Pakistanis did well to exploit and make it 4-1 in the 58th minute when Haseem Khan found the mark with a neat piece of opportunism

The last ten minutes provided high action from end-to-end, resulting in four goals in eight minutes.

Next the final against new zealand...

Umar Akmal ... U Da Man

Pakistan 1st innings		R	B	4s	6s	SR
	Khurram Manzoor	b Martin	6	15	1	0	40.00
	3.6 big inside edge, bowls it outside off and Manzoor shapes to slap it square of the wicket on the off side, doesn't get his bat beside the line properly and he ends up chopping it onto the off stump 11/1
	Imran Farhat	lbw b Martin	22	48	3	0	45.83
	16.3 we have a review here, Martin bowls from round the wicket, lands it on a good length outside the off stump and gets it to angle towards middle and leg, Farhat shuffles, plays down the wrong line and the ball hits him below the knee roll in front of the leg stump, you could see his leg stump at the point of contact and that convinced Doctrove, Farhat calls for the review but Virtual Eye also says that would have hit the stumps 43/2
	Fawad Alam	c †McCullum b Bond	29	66	4	0	43.93
	30.1 Bond's breathing fire here, he hits the deck hard from over the wicket, lands it short of a length on middle and Fawad barely had time to react and fend it off, he fails to drop his gloves down and the ball shaves his glove before landing safely in McCullum's hands 79/4
	Mohammad Yousuf*	c & b Bond	17	48	3	0	35.41
	28.5 terrific reflexes on the follow through! Bond fires this one full and induces the drive, Yousuf awkwardly pushes it through the line and ends up spooning it low back to Bond who dives forward and cups it just inches off the pitch 74/3
	Umar Akmal	c Fulton b Bond	129	160	21	2	80.62
	84.1 he finds Two-meter Peter in the deep! He bends his knee and chases a pitched up delivery outside off, the ball flies off the top half of the bat and lands down Fulton's throat at deep backward point 293/7
	Shoaib Malik	b Bond	2	7	0	0	28.57
	32.2 Bond's in the middle of a dream spell, he cramps him for room outside off and Malik still goes for the cut, there's a thick inside edge which clips the leg stump, this is great pace bowling folks 85/5
	Kamran Akmal†	c Taylor b Vettori	82	136	11	1	60.29
	75.1 he chips down the track to take him downtown but he fails to get to the pitch of the ball and ends up getting a thick outside edge to first slip, that ends a superb partnership between these two 261/6
	Mohammad Aamer	not out	12	48	1	0	25.00
	Umar Gul	lbw b Vettori	6	11	1	0	54.54
	87.4 Gul asks for a review, Vettori tosses it up on middle and off and the ball straightens and clips his front pad, Taufel raises the finger, replays don't reveal any inside edge and Virtual Eye says the ball would have just missed the stumps, it appeared at first that the ball was hitting the stumps so fair call from the umpires 302/8
	Mohammad Asif	not out	0	3	0	0	0.00
	Extras	(nb 2)	2
	Total	(8 wickets; 90 overs)	307	(3.41 runs per over)
