good morningggg

WASHINGTON: Any hope that the  US military would temper its aggressive approach towards Pakistan as a matter of courtesy or tactical need in  Afghanistan was again laid to rest this week when  the Pentagon insisted that it respected all "rules of engagement" and "international law of conflict" during the border spat in which  Nato forces killed 24 Pakistani soldiers.

Washington came close to casting the incident an act of war. "You misbehaved and provoked us and we shot you. If you do that again, the response will be the same" might well be the summation of the US investigation report into the incident.

After 2 years as Minister…Irfaan Ali builds mansion with poolhouseJanuary 1, 2012 | By KNews | Filed Under News                   The construction of a house at Leonora, West Coast Demerara, is the talk of neighbours who say that the property is owned by 31-year-old Irfaan Ali, the Minister of Housing and Water.
The house appears to accommodate eight bedrooms, a large living room, a detached kitchen and a walkway that runs around the front of the building. One resident described it as a mansion.
In addition to the home there is a multi-million-dollar pool house which makes the $69 million Corentyne office of the National Insurance Scheme office look like a garage.
The cost of the construction which is nearing completion is estimated at more than $300 million if the sums paid by the government for projects that have been advertised and completed, are a yardstick.
One contractor, using the same Government estimates, said that to fence the compound of that estate would be about $50 million.
Some have actually questioned Minister Ali’s wealth bearing in mind that he came from humble beginnings and has been a Minister for just about three years.
