The present government seems like the cat that have swallowed the canary by getting 3years insurance policy for itself . A timely decision has been made indeed and must be applauded by every one. COAS deserves to continue till 2013 .

Regards,

PML (N) was looking for mid term elections and to destablize PPP's government by the means of such issues, so for their disappointment PPP has decided to turn every political move, of PML (N), neutralized. So they have done by extending his tenure and that'z the reason of PML(N)'s disappointment.

Afew points to be noted:

1)announcement of extension was given at 11 A.M.
in the night. why so much emergency was shown?
2) the SOP of announcing the job extension of 'coas' in other countries is such as that before declaration, a pre announcement is delivered through the spokesman of govt.
the same could be followed by our govt. inorder to avoid the rumours.
3)hillary clinton met with kiyani. his large size wall posters were installed all around his way from hotel to the hall(brussels).
can we deny american rule in such as matters of job extension of 'coas'?
4) we are at war and our gallant forces are winning it under the command of new general. so, its a routine matter to extend the tenure of army chief in extra ordinary circumstances. as was done with Douglas McArthur and henry trueman.

----------Impacts of the decision:
A]Internally:
1)pml(n) ,which had been in a close collaboration with ghq, has been sidelined by ppp.
2)coalation doctrine has admitted the supermacy of army in national power centres.
3)the previous policy of non interference of army in democratic process as followed by kiyani will continue atleast till 2013 nov.
4)combating extremists at home ground will be more than ever. our establishment is ready under the sagacious commander to lock the fossils of soviet war in a stalemate and to create last push for the falling wall.
5)zardari will not enjoy an absolute free hand in strategic decision making .
6)after 2013 ,we may see a new alliance in pak politice;
army+judiciary+lawyers+civil society
7)the morale of pak army will be more than ever
8)west will feel constraints in patronizing the puppetocracy and balkanization plans in pakistan.
9)ppp thinks army will favour her but army is playing its own cards as it will bypass ppp interests . since pml(n) too is unreliable. so, both will wait for their gala but will eat humble pies.
10)some chances of mid term elections....If not then after full tenure of ppp , a new set up "government of technocrats" can be expected.

B]External :
1)war on terror will be fought with more zeal .
2)kashmir will be in focus again
3)conflict zone will gradually be switched towards the eastern borders
4)chances of safe departure of ISAF will be more.
5)pro-pakistan govt. in kabul
6)china factor will be dominant in pak politics for the 1st time instead of america
7)india will depart from afghan soil.
8)democratic govt. would be more potent to engage india in a meaningful dialogue since the war winner military set up would prevail.
(kiyani,s presence in ghq will create a perrmanent trouble for the strategic adversories of pakistan in the region.

The unusual haste, the timing, the way it was announced, and extension period of three years (usually it is 1 or 2 years) all spoke clearly that descion was made and announced under pressure.

I agree that the extension given to COAS is a positive step, but was the address to the nation necessary? The Democratic norms require that he (the PM) should have addressed the parliament on the issue instead. Being the head of the government and having constitutional powers to do so, he shall either appoint or grant extension to COAS through a notification in the offical gazette. why address? was it for getting consent of the ruled? or a kingly privilege? I dont understand the logic behind the adress, over THE GENERAL'S JOB

well the extension of COAS cannot be justified but the present dwindling situationof our country requests us to make rythm in our system both military and civil.so the extension given to the kiani is i think justified.

i cant understand that why the extension of kiyani sb was considered the need of time.if someone is working well,it doesn`t means that one should b given extension.
plz tell me this extension can b challanged in court or not..?

yes it could be challenged in the court of ALLAH, BUT not in the courts of Pakistan. it is an executive privilege granted by the constitution of Pakistan to the head of government so that the GENERAL could protect us from the danger of armed invasions

What the government of PPP is seeking is "sympathy of blind voter" and the results of the elections mainly depend upon those blind voters who can be easily impressed. Everyone knows what is the actual motive behind Benazir Incom Support Program (BISP), obviously, it is to impress the lowest category of population of the country who are loyal to their worldly feeder, they are enough ignorant to fail to recognize their real and ultimate feeder. Where the money of this program is going and what are the hurdles for the poor people to get these little benefits, need a seperate thread to be debated on. Here it is enough to ask that the amount spent on BISP could not be used for Intializing project of utility of Thar Coal reserves to produce electricity and other energies Or they couldn't spend it to provide jobs or small businesses to them? It has an open answer that PPP wanted to gain political benefits and they are quite successful in it.

Same is their motive in this activity to announce this extension publicly.

well in my view the exceeding the time limit of kiyani isn't the right decision
u know today 44 names were announced who will be retired before the kiyanis next retirement, mean if kiyani had to retire in coming nov, there must be next man in that 44 list who must be next command of army, but this situation will create misunderstanding in army

yah kiyani is the sincere, loyal person in today time in pakistan, we can appointment him somewhere else like the chief of ISI, ISSPR, etc, but we should maintain rules & pak army at least
