    That man was our air force chief when Abboatabd and salala attacks were happened on our soil. The duration of these attacks were more than 2 hours but our self claimed air force and air defence under his control looked paralyzed or static surly by his orders. So instead of being court martial ed he was awarded with another lucrative post to honor this work for western masters and his duty for his men and nation.
    It is good he felt some humiliation through this civilian post.

  2. Shame on us says:

    He cud not take the pressure from the civilian politicised organisation……
