Loading ...From April 2010:
Will the Pakistan Army's operation in Orakzai box the Taliban in and weaken them beyond repair?
- Perhaps. But the militant presence in the country will still be large as other extremist outfits that preach intolerance and train jihadis share similar ideologies. (34%, 24 Votes)
- Yes. The Taliban lack strong leadership, and a strong campaign against them will inflict heavy Taliban losses, demoralise militants and cut off the supply routes. (27%, 19 Votes)
- No. The army's strategy is flawed, the Taliban are too numerous and too fluid, moving and mixing with civilians too easily. Besides, they have the tendency to bounce back strongly. (24%, 17 Votes)
- It's impossible to tell. There are too many factors on and off the battlefield. (15%, 9 Votes)

With the NRO buried and PM Gilani publicly saying the president will give up his powers under Article 52(2b), what will be Zardari's next move?
- He's not ready to leave - greedy men are never sated. He will fight to stay on with all the current benefits of the 17th Amendment (44%, 39 Votes)
- He likes the presidency. Powers or no powers, he'll stay on as a figurehead just for the title, the home and to continue to meet his Friends of Pakistan (25%, 22 Votes)
- He will manoeuvre a bit, but then hit the road. More court cases, means more jail. He's had enough of that and besides, he won't be able to wear his Armani suits in the clink (17%, 15 Votes)
- He's looted the country and stuffed his pockets over the past 14 months. He'll leave quietly (and contentedly), and maybe look for a good point to re-enter the game down the road (14%, 12 Votes)
Total Voters: 88
Loading ...From October 2009:
Does the Kerry-Lugar Bill undermine Pakistan's sovereignty?

- It doesn't matter. US influence is not going anywhere, and this way, Pakistan gets cash. (34%, 43 Votes)
- No. Pakistan still controls its institutions and will act freely and in its own best interest. (14%, 18 Votes)
- Not really. The bill consists of benchmarks that are not measurable. (14%, 18 Votes)
