Ask Abhimanyu he said it, I was just explaining to Insiq what Abhi said. 🙂

Yeah, suspected as much. Tragically for you both that is the basis for your arguments and opinions. You just tried to accuse a senior PAF officer of sayingdetrimental things about LCA without knowledge of the facts when both of you (probably after searching Google in a panic!) have no evidence to support your claims.

This is embaressing isit not? Especially when on this very thread a few posts ago I was asked for a link about my claims regarding IAF loding a protest to USAF and put up my evidence immediately…

Be interesting to see what comes of the trip of PN chief to US Navy.

CNO Welcomes Pakistan Counterpart

WASHINGTON (NNS) — Chief of Naval Operations (CNO) Adm. Gary Roughead officially welcomed his Pakistan counterpart during a Full Honors Ceremony March 18 at the Washington Navy Yard in Washington, D.C.

CNO hosted Chief of Naval Staff Adm. Noman Bashir at the ceremony to help promote global maritime partnerships and reinforce his commitment to strengthening the bonds between the two navies.

“United States and Pakistan have a strategic relationship and one that is based upon a common interest in peace, security and then prosperity,” said Roughead.

Roughead expressed his gratitude toward the Pakistan Navy and its role given the current global climate.

“Relationships between our navies are deeply important,” said Roughead. “And we are appreciative, extremely appreciative, for the leadership, for the involvement of the Pakistan Navy in the peace and stability of such an important region of the world.”

During the ceremony, CNO presented Bashir with the Legion of Merit on behalf of the secretary of defense for his continued cooperation to the countries mutual endeavors.

“The future of all nations are made stronger by the cooperation of all navies and Admiral Bashir is a visionary leader who understands this and will lead his navy to a glorious future,” said Roughead.

No issue here. Simply (and as a Journolist I am sure you will fully appreciate this). The good Col is not here to defend himself. It is only fair that before totally discounting what he says it may be worth giving him a chance to reply to the allegations that he has no knowledge of what went on? Or do we only take on dies view? I hope you can appreciate that…

I have never stated IAF did not perform well. To the contrary, I am sure they performed credibly.

What I do have an issue with is the sensitivity and reactions by not just the IAF but also members of this forum. Just look at this thread? What other air force rushes to the US embassey to complain about a Youtube clip?

Thanks, you are right, 9 sqd do indeed rock! 😉
