"I fully support what our incumbent chief of army staff is doing! In Waziristan, in Kabul, in Karachi..."
"What about South of Punjab?"
"Step by step by step."
"And what determines the next step?"
"The scale of the threat."
"I thought that the scale of the threat was higher in Waziristan followed by Karachi and yet the Karachi operation began in 2013 and operation Zarb-e-Azb in June 2014."
"Better late than never, but there is one delay that is a thorn in my side, I sincerely hope the CoAS would turn his attention to..."
"South of Punjab as I said earlier?"
"In time my friend. What I would urge the CoAS to do is turn his attention towards holding his predecessors accountable. There is the matter of what Musharraf did to this nation before his coup, Kargil comes to mind, and after his coup and even his most ardent supporters acknowledge that Musharraf took the country from being compared with India in 1999 and left it where there is simply no comparison in 2008."
"Yep, accountability must be across the board and let's be honest; Musharraf was clearly complicit in human rights abuses."
"Yes and then there is Kayani - a man who acknowledged that incompetence rather than complicity was the reason for the army not being aware of the world's number one terrorist at the time, Osama bin Laden."
"Either way there should be accountability don't you think."
"And the Raymond Davis case - allowing the guy to leave the country though he murdered three Pakistanis in Lahore in broad daylight."
"Justice is to be meted out by the judiciary and the case prepared by the civilian government. So what do you expect of the civilian government in this regard?"
"Hurl abuses at each other - get angry at those who challenge their motives as well as those who have the temerity to accuse the party leader. Our tax payers pay the hefty salary and protocol and expenses of Parvez Rashid and Khawaja Asif just so they can attack all those who dare attack the Prime Minister."
"Don't be facetious - that is the most important job of all - those who don't do it are sidelined..."
"You are being facetious."
