Most of the Pakistani politicians and powerful bureaucrats have palaces, villas, houses, flats, bank accounts, kids, wives and other wives living in London and U.S. They cant afford to open their mouths. Some of them read U.S. as us. The present government made up of compromised beneficiaries of the disgraceful National Reconciliation Ordinance (NRO), whom the people describe as the dry-cleaned crooks with NRO bleach is criminally toeing the foreign agenda. Pakistanis are in a real dilemma when they see crooks, corrupt and the compromised coming back to power and making millions. The Zardari government could not even find full time ambassadors from Pakistan so they asked outsourced cronies to take charge in London, Washington and now New York.
On July 24, 2008, at the International Institute of Strategic Studies (IISS) in London, I posed a question to the Pakistani Foreign Minister, His Excellency Shah Mahmood Qureshi.
Foreign Minister, I asked, your democratic governments sole motto seems to be, Visit U.S. before U.S. visits you because you just came from the USA and Prime Minister Gilani is going to USA too. On the other hand, If U.S. wants to visit/ invade Pakistans tribal areas, then SO BE IT. NATO Military commander in Afghanistan has said, approximately 400,000 troops required in Afghanistan for the security and stabilization of the country. Please comment.
His response was something like, Pakistan will not allow any one to operate on its territory and we can deal with things better, Blah blah blah. His response was not as robust as one would expect from a nuclear states leader. My question was a reference to an interview that outgoing ISAF commander McNeill gave to the German magazine Dier Spiegel, where he confessed to having inadequately trained forces to effectively counter terrorism in Afghanistan.
NATO has only 47,000 soldiers instead of a required strength of 400,000 with a shortfall of 260,000 men. NATO is practically running on reserve, as very few units can be used in combat situation. While neighboring countries want peace in the region, manning a volatile country with only 47,000 NATO troops and practically no well-trained Afghan Army, the mission to bring peace to the region seems an uphill task, McNeill said.
Only God knows from where NATO is going to get these 400,000 troops and how much they are going to cost. How long they are going to stay in the country? What would be the economic consequences on the economies of the participant countries? One Taliban leader reportedly said, If more occupying forces come to Afghanistan, more body bags will go back. It is time review the WOT policy to save human lives and misery from all sides.

Some of them read U.S. as us? A polite warning was given to Nawaz Sharif few weeks ago at Londons Heathrow airport, when Zubair Gull, President of the British chapter of the PML-N, who was traveling with Nawaz, was not only arrested at the airport but also taken to a police station for questioning. Mr. Gull was released after paying off thousands of pounds in outstanding balance to the Inland Revenue (Tax Office). Was it a coincident? Is Nawaz Sharif going to be living in London now for a while like Altaf Hussain?
The present government made up of compromised beneficiaries of the disgraceful National Reconciliation Ordinance (NRO), whom the people describe as the dry-cleaned crooks with NRO bleach is criminally toeing the foreign agenda without any doubt. Mr. Zardari promoted his personal lawyer to become Pakistans Minister of Law. He promoted the present wife of a former Citi Bank official as Pakistans Minister of Information. He promoted his business partner and oil tycoon as Pakistans de facto Minister of The Interior. None of these people are chosen by the people of Pakistan. So what kind of democracy is it? People of Pakistan are in a real dilemma when they see crooks, corrupt and the compromised coming back to power and making millions. Is there any accountant in the world who could justify the growth in their wealth? They are eroding and looting Pakistan.
The so-called democratic government led by Asif Zardari continues the spineless foreign policy of General Musharraf. Was there any policy at all? Zardari is running Pakistan while traveling between dubai and Pakistan. Some one has said, Zardari got PPP as part of his dowry (Jahaaz) and people usually dont care for what they get for free?
The great game of dismantling Pakistan was going on for a few years but now it has picked up pace and no one seems to be bothered. A multifaceted agenda to break up Pakistan is underway by (a) creating and fanning law and order chaos; (b) crippling Pakistan economically; (c) exacerbating the energy crisis; (d) the humiliation of Pakistan armed forces; (e) taking over Pakistans nuclear assets; (f) installing minority group people in powerful positions, which Zardari is already doing. Why use minority groups as collaborators? It did not fully work in Iraq but did bring chaos and destruction.
To achieve the above all the players are in place. One London based analyst said, do you think it is a mere coincidence that people from a minority group are being placed in the highest positions in Pakistan including media, especially the appointments, postings and transfers after the Feb. 18 election? People are watching carefully what Zardari & Co. is up to. It is more like following the old colonial game plan of divide and rule.
Dr. Rehman Malik, the Interior Advisor to the Prime Minister, who is yesterdays fugitive and todays security expert, who failed to save his own assassinated leader, is turning minor local issues into international issues. Why and who for? Pakistans Shias are very well integrated into our society and an integral part of Pakistan with full liberty to practice their faith in harmony with the majority Sunni population. There was no need to form a Shia-Sunni Ulema (clerics) committee. There are approximately 13,000 Sunni and 380 Shia madrassas in Pakistan, which are functioning peacefully according to the rules of the Ministry of Religious Affairs.
Khurshid Kasuri, the former Foreign Minister, once said to the Iranian Foreign Minister, Pakistani Shias are not like Sunnis in Iran. No doubt there would be minor religious tensions but internationalizing them is like asking for trouble. What is happening in Kurram Agency now or in the past? Our Iranian friends have no control over it and they have their own big problems to look after. When tensions between Catholics and Protestants were at their peak in Northern Ireland, Britain did not ask the Italian Catholic Pope to intervene or sign an international Catholic - Protestant peace deal? Dr. Rehman Malik is inviting trouble in the future. Good doctors diagnose and then contain the disease not spread it.
Zardari is known as the sole beneficiary of the Bhutto political empire. Some people used to call Benazir a Princess and Zardari a Pirate. It seems the pirate hasnt changed much apart from behaving and dressing like Iranian leaders. The wholesale political appointments of crooks and cronies are compromising the integrity of the country both nationally and internationally.
Zardari government could not find even full time ambassadors from Pakistan as they just asked outsourced cronies to take charge of London, Washington and now New York embassies of Pakistan. I am sure they will move back to their flats and villas in the next set up. Why cant Pakistan have full time professional representatives trained in diplomacy instead of political cronies?
Those who became Quaids (leaders) of their parties have moved to London and started telephonic speeches while people are committing suicides for lack of food. It seems like Pakistan is colonized and captured by collaborators, traitors, haji and non-haji smugglers, crook bankers, and corrupt mafia groups.
Those who were selling tickets in cinemas and making water pumps have become billionaires in last 20 years in Pakistan? Not a bad deal investing in politics? One can imagine the level of corruption and mafia control in Pakistan. When an ordinary Pakistani sees yesterdays thieves and crooks appointed at the highest positions by so-called democrats, what should they do?
According to Dawn newspaper published on July 23, 2008, BB murder probe to cost over $100 million and the Pakistani government has assured the United Nations it will provide all the money needed for an investigation into the assassination of former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto. The assurance was conveyed by Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi during a meeting with U.N. officials on July 10. According to the sources, the investigation could cost Pakistan in excess of $100 million and take up to 14 months to complete. There is no need to refer the request to the Security Council, Mr. Qureshi told reporters after his meting with U.N. officials. An investigation sought by the U.N. Security Council would have been funded by the world body. The investigation of former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik Harriri murder has so far cost $350 million. Besides, an investigation ordered by the U.N. Security Council would have been more intense and intrusive.
Poor Pakistani taxpayers who dont have clean drinking water are going to have to pay for this U.N. investigation. These leaders dont trust anything Pakistani. They just like power. When not in power they go abroad to their villas. Khaled Shehenshah, a witness of Benazirs murder and chief security officer of Zardari & Co. who was acting very suspiciously on the day of murder according to video footage shown on Aljazeera TV, was killed in broad daylight in Karachi, just like police Inspector Haq Nawaz Sial, Murtaza Bhutto murders main witness killed in his house. Why?
Fatima Bhutto accused Mr. Zardari of her fathers murder. Should Fatima Bhutto also request U.N. investigations into Murtaza Bhuttos murder? Critics are saying both the witnesses were killed when Mr. Zardari was in full control of the government machinery including intelligence agencies.
Mr. Zardari and his henchman Rehman Malik should think and reflect on the consequences of their actions beginning with internationalizing local issues to meddling with the provincial and federal affairs when it comes to the national resources of oil, coal, gas and water of the country. Its a dangerous game.
