"You know I am convinced that Mian Nawaz Sharif really wants this country to develop with cheap electricity for all, low rate of inflation, high employment led by private sector growth." "That's what he said in his Eid message but that could be a proforma message - you know like condemning terror attacks."
"Don't get me side tracked but anyway I reckon his main problem is that he is too trusting of his lieutenants." "Well he is not the Commander in Chief you know, that's the President and that's according to the constitution, and the more than a year's exercise to amend that document did not take away this position from the office of the president."
"You are so very literal - in politics there is much to be said about symbolic..."
"Not our politics. What any politician says is what you get, subject to a u turn if wooed by the other side?"
"Anyway by lieutenants I did not mean army officials I was referring to his kitchen cabinet. He needs to get some independent evaluators to assess the performance of his civilian lieutenants and..." "Why are you referring to them as lieutenants? Why not cabinet members?"
"Because their attacks against the two dharna parties is more like that of a rather well organised machinery carrying out orders."
"Ah but the machinery is operating like the coalition forces in Iraq/Syria."
"What do you mean?"
"Islamic State fighters are gaining territory in spite of a worldwide coalition."
"The reason is that the West and Arab nations don't want to send ground forces I believe. Now Mian sahib has mobilized ground forces if you know what I mean."
"Right but he hasn't given the ground forces the air support necessary for victory."
"The daily verbal attacks..."
"Yes and that is all the ammunition he has allowed. Now what they need is some air power."
"Air power defined as what? Bombing the dharnas?"
"No, what former President Zardari deployed against Qadri? Sign a document after intense negotiations and then burn the agreement or throw it in the rubbish heap."
"Ah yes but Mian sahib is more intense about his powers so not likely."
"Alas."
