[Mirza Jatt]

[Awesome]

What dramas Indian mind cooks up. Something he never said, and not a single person on the planet can quote him as saying so, how can he do a U-turn from that?

Time has come for Pakistan to disown Mus.

About his remarks to a German magazine last week that Pakistan trained militants groups to fight in Kashmir, he said he did not mean that they were trained during his tenure.

Pak clean chit: Minister says India never blocked water

Pakistan water and power minister Raja Pervez Ashraf told the Pakistan National Assembly last Thursday that India had never blocked its share of water from rivers flowing from Kashmir, barring a brief period of one week in 2008.

SPIEGEL: Why did you form militant underground groups to fight India in Kashmir?

Musharraf: They were indeed formed. The government turned a blind eye because they wanted India to discuss Kashmir.

SPIEGEL: It was the Pakistani security forces that trained them.

Musharraf: The West was ignoring the resolution of the Kashmir issue, which is the core issue of Pakistan. We expected the West -- especially the United States and important countries like Germany -- to resolve the Kashmir issue. Has Germany done that? {No Denial about Pakistani Sec forces training them}

SPIEGEL: Does that give Pakistan the right to train underground fighters?

Musharraf: Yes, it is the right of any country to promote its own interests when India is not prepared to discuss Kashmir at the United Nations and is not prepared to resolve the dispute in a peaceful manner.

 

[notsuperstitious]

Looks like he received the memo from Pindi.

After all, he wishes to go back and stay fit.

 

[LaBong]

Well he has his skin to save, nothing strange.

 

[Safriz]

Vote for Musharraf ...NOT

He didn't say "We formed them", he said they were formed and can be formed by anyone.

Later on he went to say "We turned a blind eye on them". You don't turn a blind eye on yourself, you turn a blind eye on what other people are doing.

Dude this is not enough... list all the questions he was asked from beginning to end and than the context will be much clear.

i advise not to ignore the point of his answer in un-serious rants.
Just a food for thought..

With so many and frequent U turns, Musharraf is only likely to drive around in circles. His transition from Commando to Politician is complete.

 

[Illusive]

He didn't say "We formed them", he said they were formed and can be formed by anyone.

Later on he went to say "We turned a blind eye on them". You don't turn a blind eye on yourself, you turn a blind eye on what other people are doing.

"You'' represents Pakistan army, and when he's talking about govt turning blind eye, he's talking about support given by the army to those militants. The question put was straight forward but the answers in twisted form. Sure Musharraf has learned few tricks. He never said No. He could have completely refuted to be clear.

In that case, job well done I guess.

 

[graphican]

Today I saw TV channels talking about Musharaf's quality of taking U turns and very often. I hope he successfully becomes another Zardari by 2011.

The question was why did he (govt) formed them. If the Govt wasnt complicit, he would have clearly denied. Which he didnt even when a pointed question was asked about Pakistani military training them.

About the blind eye, he probably meant about the civilian govt when he was the army chief.

But anyway, there is no surprise in the fact itself. The only surprise was his candid admission. But I guess pressure from Kayani made him cop out...
