86pc Pakistanis like Musharraf: survey
WASHINGTON, March 18: A vast majority of Pakistanis, about 86 per cent, rates President Pervez Musharraf favourably, says a survey by a major American organization.

The report by the Washington-based Pew Research Center also says that 60 per cent Pakistanis view President Musharraf “very favourably.” This is “by far the highest rating of any leader in the survey,” says poll director Andrew Kohut. “Pakistanis expressed highly favourable opinions of their president.”

The Pew Research Center is a non-profit and non-governmental organization, which specializes in opinion surveys. Its reports are widely respected in Washington’s academic circles.

The researchers surveyed public opinions in nine countries, asking a randomly selected group of people questions on various subjects, ranging from the war in Iraq to their opinion about their own leaders and about other major US allies in the war on terror.

The survey says that most Europeans had no views about Gen Musharraf and a third or more in each of the nine countries except Pakistan gave no opinion. Views of President Musharraf were more positive than negative in Turkey, and were about evenly divided in Britain, the United States, Russia, and Jordan. Negative opinion of Gen Musharraf was strong in France, Germany and Morocco.

Majorities in every country surveyed except the United States had an unfavourable opinion of President Bush, with negative ratings ranging from 57 per cent in Britain to 85 per cent in both France and Germany.

Outside the United States, the support for Mr Bush is the highest in Britain, 39 per cent. Six-in-ten have an unfavourable view of Mr Bush in Russia, and two-thirds – 67 per cent – feel this way in Turkey.

so to hell with MMA, and its extremist crap…Majority of Pakistanis support Musharraff and his policies…jeeez now i just increased someone’s jealousy even more..(sorry lol)..

F-16s over FC-1 is NO NO, F-16s (from aid package) along with FC-1..why not?? 😉

PLA ignore the flamers, when one stops showing bone, the dog stops barking, you cannot cure it brother…one cannot straighten the tail of the dog, why bother?? it might bite you instead, so ignoring is the best policy.

sunks costs cant be recovered, unit costs can be brought down by economics of scale, which can be achived through high production.

Im jealous 😉

West really makes sure the stuff looks secksy.

makes sense, it was in the news before, forget the other crap, general reporter non-sense.

‘Amazingly enough, them saudis don’t like our Abrams nomore!’

Its not they dont like it anymore, but can they trust americans during a war to maintain there fleet? (if its against israel?), i think one can get 5 al-zarrars in price of one Abram (nut sure), Good enough firepower. One could say it could be stop-gap measure, or just filling up of numbers.

anyway..another good news (dene wala jub bhi deta, deta chappar parh keh :p :p 😉 😀 😀 )

US to make Pakistan non-NATO ally: ISLAMABAD, March 18: US Secretary of State Colin Powell announced today the United States will designate Pakistan a “major non-NATO ally,” in a move that will boost military cooperation between the two countries. “I advised the foreign minister this morning that we will also be making a notification to our Congress that will designate Pakistan as a major non-NATO ally for the purposes of our future military to military relations,” Powell told a press conference after meeting Khurshid Mahmud Kasuri. The designation means that certain restrictions on arms sales are dropped. Pakistan will join a handful of other countries such as Japan, Thailand, Kuwait, Egypt, Israel and Jordan in receiving preferential treatment from the United States on the military front.
