"So the mother of all bombs in Nangarhar province in Afghanistan and Trump did a Bush this time - he claimed success..."

"That reminds me of Saddam Hussein - didn't he coin the phrase mother of all battles and this was after the first Gulf war when he thought he had won..."

"The US-led coalition in that war would beg to differ."

"Dictators have their own definitions. Saddam thought he had won because Bush Senior was not re-elected while Saddam Hussein remained in power after the first battle."

"That is certainly profound. That reminds me of our own dictator who hasn't been able to put up, and I define put up by winning any seats once he left the position of Chief of Army Staff, and is not willing to shut up and is making all kinds of statements that are rather embarrassing as he neither represents the army anymore nor the government of Pakistan."

"Right, anyway, the mother of all bombs was dropped in Nangarhar and let's be honest, one doesn't need to be brave or praise the armed forces for dropping a bomb on an adversary that was not visible and therefore no one knows whether the bomb got the Islamic State supporters or whether it got the Taliban or whether it got the ordinary Afghan citizens or whether it got anyone at all."

"I would like to add that irrespective of whoever was killed in the bomb blast the fact remains that no one, but no one, in Nangarhar had the capacity to shoot down the bomb carrier if you know what I mean."

"Don't be facetious... anyway Trump has stopped Americans from coming to Pakistan."

"I wasn't aware we were a tourist stop for Americans."

"Well, I know of one way to get Trump on our side: let's give him land to build a Trump tower in Islamabad."

"Where, location is important..."

"How about cutting a slice off the Prime Minister's House..."

"Maryam Nawaz wants it to remain exactly as now when she takes over..."

"Don't be facetious; anyway, you are right the power resides in the PM House so how about the President's House?"

"Good idea and Mamnoon Hussain can offer the Trumps ice cream and if they like it sky is the limit."

"Speaking of the sky why don't we give K-2 to the Trumps?"

"For what? A golf course? Are you crazy?"

"No that would be the most expensive holiday spot in the world because it would require a helicopter ride till the top and Trump can get India and Pakistan heads of government to meet there and..."

"Modi might trump us and give Siachen."

"Don't be facetious."
