He conceived his duty as representing the civilian government as a decision-making executive. His forced removal shows the military still runs things and sees themselves as a veto over civilians.
As for the SC, we can see from how the report goes beyond the remit that it may be worthy of being held in contempt as long as it tries to ruthlessly expand its power beyond the limits of interpreting the laws and Constitution.
truthseer, see your truth.
My dear dear poster. Why on earth this thread has gone on for so long.
What on earth makes Haqqani as the permanent ambassador to the USA. He is just a man. And why Pakistani army as an institution has to be dragged through mud if His Highness Haqqani is asked to resign?
Ambassadors come and Ambassadors go. Many a times they are political appointees and given a cushy job to be in DC, on government payroll and drive fancy cars with national flag or special diplomatic license plates.
I give two hoots to what that other guy the so-called businessman Mansoor Ejaz accused Haqqani for.
American army generals make two visits every week to GHQ in Pindi and Pakistani generals get to drink tea/coffee with them in return. If they have an issue, they can and they should resolve among themselves. What Ejaz has to say or What Haqqani can do matters very very very little.
It is just disheartening to see the level of pro and anti Haqqani debate.
Must we sacrifice institutions and countries for the sake of few egotists? USA's long term interests are not dependent on Haqqani the ex-ambassador or the Sheri the new ambassadors. They will go on for better or for worse long after the current set of protagonists and antagonists have bitten the dust.
And if Haqqani is larger than life figure who can "stand up" for US-Pakistan relationship, he can still do, he still has all his contacts in place. Doesn't he.
So let's not allow ourselves to get into mud-wrestling match where the judge is no other than the famous amos Mansoor Ejaz. Unless you like to mud-wrestle in the ring being officiated and announced by ejaz.
In summary, majority of Pakistanis educated "civilian" elite from Lahore, Karachi and Charsadda has always been anti-American. Not because of drones. No Siree. This love-hate relationship goes back decades. They wanted cuban castro and not Eisenhowver in their midsts. Why was it so? Well that's a long and separate discussion that we must have over a cup of tea.
So what if this elite have one more excuse to blacken the face of Uncle Sam.
the only Pakistani institution that has been untiringly supporting USA in the whole region is the Pakistani army. The reason is that Pakistani civilians do not have the luxury of having anti-socialism institutions like Heritage foundation or Wall street journal.
In Pakistan, civilian intellectuals walk to the drum beat of socialism nicely wrapped in green Islamist burqa. I call it Subzee-commies.
In this "intellectually hostile" environment, what do the democratic led US government do?
Make all the effort to destroy the only institution that has stood by their side for 60+ years.
This is what I call bad policies that will come back to haunt future US missions in the region.
So I urge you to cool of, and quit building something that stands on very unstable leftie-socialist foundation especially the one that has been already devoured by the Islamists moths.
peace
