How bad is it in Pakistan? This Bad [Pic]

by Infidelesto on April 23, 2009 · Comments

An update from yesterday’s post.  

Wanna know how screwed Pakistan is? All the areas in red are Taliban controlled, the areas in orange are basically divided (at war), the areas in yellow are Taliban “influenced” and those teeny weeny green spots? Yea, that’s the Pakistan gov’t control.  

In other words, the capital of Pakistan is next on their list, and guess where the nukes are?

Long War Journal has more on this:

The Taliban are pushing past the districts of Swat and Buner and are threatening Islamabad, a senior Islamist member of parliament said at a briefing.

The Taliban have consolidated control over the district of Buner and are moving on Mansehra and Haripur. These two regions, which are just on the outskirts of Islamabad and Rawalpindi, have been relatively spared from the violent Taliban insurgency that has plagued the Northwest.

The Taliban have entered the district of Mansehra and are threatening to take control of the Tarbela Dam in neighboring Haripur district, said Maulana Fazlur Rehman, the chief of the Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam Fazl, an Islamist political party, during a debate in parliament.

“If the Taliban continue to move at this pace, they will soon be knocking at the doors of Islamabad as the Margala Hills seem to be the only hurdle in their march towards the federal capital,” Fazl said, according to a report in The News. “After occupying Buner, they have reached Kala Dhaka and may also be taking over the water reservoir of the Tarbela Dam.”

    As a sometime visitor to the benighted land of Paki;I couldn't wait to get out.
    The silliest and biggest black comedy on the planet!
    It's scenically breathtaking;but polluted by retarded fools.
    Their collective mental disease is no better exemplified than by the attempted murder of the Sri Lankan cricket team!
  • Faisal

  • SirWilhelm
    Did you notice this was posted 2 months ago? Who's trying to mislead anyone?
  • spootnik2000
    LET THESE BARBARIANS WIPE EACH OTHER,,
  • We can ONLY guess where the nukes are. For all we know Musharaff gave the locations to the US when he left office. They may be in Islamabad, or they may be in Taliban hands already. We have no way of knowing.

    I invite all of you to the dreadful thought of the 120 plus MILLION muslims
    that call India home...
    Imagine if ONLY 10 or 15% of'em become "TALIBANIZED"...It'd be more than
    the current number fighting in Pakistan and Afghanistan combined;

    My friends,Hindus already suffered what few cultures had endured under
    Islamic yoke.

    They won't let happen all over again.They will fight.

    It will be a BLOODBATH of biblical proportions,a CIVIL WAR,fought
    with knives,axes,rocks,bare hands,bullets,rockets,the kitchen's sink...

    Picture the episode in which a Hindu mob destroyed a mosque
    BY HAND a few years ago.Multiply that by 1000 and you'll get closer
    to what I'm talking about.

    I will,naturally,support 100% the Indian State and Hindu People.

    listen you jewish shit head...i am apakistani living in pakistan...i dont know what ur media says to that you guys come up with comments and images like these....you must be crazy to believe that pakista is controlled by taliban.let me assure you nothing like that is happening.and as for india let me tell you that they are the main force behind this.they are supporting terrorism in pakistan.if you say that they arnt then please tell me why india has 8 embassies in kabul.you dont the situation in pakistan.and please watch what ever you say about muslims.and the mumbai attack in india like many before was planned and executed by indians.let the inquiry end and you will know in coming years the truth.
  • JEWHAWK
    Mr.Bilal:
    Your country STINKS.
    Your people STINKS.
    You STINK.

    When "BAKISTAN" (as the "bakistanis" pronounce it) becomes
    TALIBANISTAN,the weapons you shouldn't have in the first place
    will be at their disposal,something that India will NOT permit.
    I do sincerely hope that India could INVADE your country,grab
    the nukes and kill all Talibans.That's only wishful thinking,of
    course.
  • uh, nobody said the Taliban were in control of Pakistan. There's an existential threat though, but you must not understand that.

    India is the "main force behind" what? The Taliban? I't shard to even respond to such asinine theories.

    Please watch what we say about Muslims? or else what, aisha? Yet again another veiled radical Muslim threat.

    The Mumbai attacks were conducted by Pakistani's controlled by operatives in Pakistan. Do you not read the regular news?

    Why are you guys over there such idiots? Get out of your cave and start paying attention!
  • SAHIL ASIF
    pakistan can control all kinds of issues so, America should not attempt to enter in this country . thay just make lame excuses to enter in any country . Taliban are thier on Product.
  • aisha bilal
    leave it.i just read the 'about us'...u r the owner so u r rite.bbye.
  • Necrowulf
    Now its India's fault...rrighttttttt

    Do you know what Embassies are fore Aisha, of course not, you just said something utterly idiotic about them...but oh well..
  • JEWHAWK
    Hopefully Pakistan will be another Afghanistan,pre 9/11...I do
    sincerely HOPE that India's Army could take advantage of this chaos
    and impose its sovereignty in Kashmir once and for all.

    India OUGHT to seize control of Pakistani nukes,otherwise nuclear
    warheads will appear on the bazaars throughout the Middle East,
    next to the pistachios and humous parlors.

    Almost TWELVE BILLION DOLLARS were given
    to Pakistan exactly to avoid the current situation.I guess that
    some Swiss Banks won't complain about American GENEROSITY
    toward the poor pakistani officials...

    Bottom line about this situation it is what you get when muslims put their claws upon
    nuclear stuff.They are ALL UNSTABLE,UTTERLY CORRUPT countries,which are
    prone to proliferation of its technology, which already was sold to
    Libya,North Korea,Syria and possibly Israel's "old friend",EGYPT.
  • Honestly, India has a very passive gov't. They may not have the stomach to do what's necessary to take Kashmir
  • They are in an election cycle now. The new government may well have the stomach after the Bombay attack last summer. The Taliban are itching for a fight with India as are Al Queda. The question is, whether or not the Obama white house will support or at least not actively oppose India acting it her own interests against a Talibanized Pakistan, which would indeed be a near existential threat to India.
  • JEWHAWK
    Yep.They are passive,indeed,until the Taliban begin
    to launch attacks a la Hezbollah/Hamas against Hindus in
    Kashmir and elsewhere,such the one occurred in Mumbai.

    India is by far,the most threatened country with the Pakistani
    debacle...but,as I said earlier,it must know how to revert this highly
    unfavorable landscape into an unexpected victory and final
    annexation of Kashmir.

    If Pakistan falls,Afghanistan will go down into the toilet altogether,
    so will the BILLIONS of DOLLARS spent on the last eight years.It will
    all be for NOTHING.
  • I'd be more worried about India as a whole if the Taliban succeed in overthrowing the unstable Paki-gov't. Can you image the world's reaction esspecially India's if the Taliban declare that they've taken control?

    You're right thought, India is in the most dangerous spot right now.
