170 Million People Do Count

US Defence Secretary Robert Gates, now what would Pakistan do without aid flowing in from a bankrupt and debt-ridden economy! Our 170 million people are all jobless and so afraid of Uncle Sam.

Gates said on Friday that ‘he sought to build bridges with the next generation of Pakistan’s military leaders and to end a trust deficit that hampered cooperation against militancy.’

Meaning: They will not construct bridges over our five rivers but rather recruit slaves from the Armed Forces to do their bidding. [Can our defence secretary address American military leaders like this? Ayub Khan Yahya Khan, Zia-ul-Haq, Musharraf, may you all be dealt with the same way you dealt with this country.]

Addressing military officials at the National Defence University, Gates said distrust between the allies had been compounded by an organized propaganda campaign orchestrated by their common enemy.

Meaning: The voices that spread truth and hamper Allied plans need to be silenced and untruth needs to be propagated with the full force of the mass media.

He called the US decision to abandon Pakistan after the Soviet withdrawal from Afghanistan a grave strategic mistake, and said it resulted in today’s trust deficit and lack of understanding between the two armies.

Meaning: That abandonment was also part of the destructive plan. Understanding between the two armies is all that is needed; the peoples’ voices may be conveniently disregarded.

Gates urged the government to ‘stop making distinctions among militants as safe havens on either side of the Pak-Afghan border would lead to more lethal and more brazen militant attacks.’ He said that ‘maintaining a distinction between some violent extremists groups and others is counterproductive.’

Meaning: Continue to kill those who kill (of course, funded and trained by foreign sponsors), the peaceful ones too deserve to die. Time must not be wasted in working towards peace but rather towards supplying arms to both the sides and starting mini wars on all fronts so that Pakistan will suffer in the long run.

Gates announced that the US was neither ‘coveting a single inch of Pakistani soil nor was it seeking any military base in the country.’

Meaning: Americans own the airspace and many old and newly-built airbases within Pakistan.

The defence secretary also assured the military audience that his ‘country had no desire to control Pakistan’s nuclear weapons.’

Meaning: Americans (Israelis) do wish to dismantle the project and campaigns against individual scientists and institutions are part of the plan that will show the world how irresponsible Pakistani really are. The same plan is being used for Iran but Iran has the courage to spit on the face of American propaganda.

He said ‘the US was fully committed to a stable, long-term and enduring friendship with Pakistan. However, Gates expressed concerns over the prevailing ‘scepticism’ about the intentions of the US in Pakistan.

Meaning: Scepticism is the truth; it is the voice of the people the world over. If Pakistan has come to this stage with all that wonderful American help, why look lovingly at another friendly country?

Earlier, he told reporters that Pakistan’s leadership would decide for itself whether the country needed to expand its anti-Taliban campaign along the Afghan border.

Meaning: There is no need to trouble Pakistani brains when American think-tanks can do the remote-controlled job just a s easily.

“Pakistan is a sovereign country and it is up to it to decide when and where to launch an operation. We (the US and Pakistan) are in the same car but Pakistan is in the driving seat, with its foot on the accelerator,” Gates said.

Meaning: America will act according to its own intelligence and ‘bomb everyone back to stone-age’.

He said ‘the core of Al Qaeda” would not abandon the tribal belt as the areas had special importance for them.’

Meaning: Al-CIAda will never leave until God wills its Vietnam like defeat.

About the US private security agency, Blackwater, the US defence secretary said ‘the Defence Department does not have Blackwater in Pakistan and we do not use them in Pakistan.’

Meaning: But other agencies and departments within the US government can and do use Blackwater.

A Warning To Pakistani Parents

US National Intelligence Director Dennis Blair on Tuesday held a roundtable discussion with Pakistani-Americans as part of an effort to boost the recruitment and retention of Pakistani-Americans in US intelligence agencies.

“We need you to help us build a better relationship between the United States and Pakistan,” Blair said during the meeting, according to remarks released by his office. He also stressed the “common threat” faced by both countries.

The Pakistani-American citizens—led like sacrificial sheep by Pakistan’s Ambassador to the US Husain Haqqani—included two dozen business leaders, college students and federal employees.

I request all Pakistani parents, please talk to your sons and daughters, whom you have sent abroad for expensive but useless education, and instruct them to remain clear of these dangerous recruiters. Dr Afia Siddiqui is going to be sacrificed on the altar of American demon-crazy. She is a very bright person who has nothing to do with what they accuse her of; this is what they call entrapment.

The National Intelligence director’s office said the meeting delved into “past problems of mistrust”, the role of the media and “the rise of religious extremism in Pakistan”.

Understanding who we are and where we are headed is NOT religious extremism. I would advise all the Green Cardigan turncoats to stay clear of this trap of spying on their own Motherland and their relatives back home and instead focus on happily remaining where you are and on getting your invader army 'boys' back where they belong.

We already have a huge population of agents, double agents, and triple-decker agents amidst us. We certainly do not need more of the same human garbage dressed in business suits.

Pakistanis must be wary of dealing with such elements that look like us, speak like us but are not WITH us or FOR us. This ‘intelligence’ recruitment has been going on since many decades The reason why you see no progress but rather a downward slide is that very few men here are 'real men' who have the courage to say no to these fancy dinners and indirect bribes. Now imagine how Washington might react if our intelligence agencies gathered some Pak-Americans and asked them to do the same for Pakistan. God! The poor green Cardigans will be horrified at such indecent proposals.

Remain fearful of Allah alone, He will indeed question you about what you did on Earth.

Never be collaborators or traitors to your Motherland. Never let Iblees mislead you.

Document reveals Gillani authorised Haqqani to issue visas to Americans

ISLAMABAD: Two days after Adviser to the Prime Minister on Foreign Affairs Sartaj Aziz claimed that the interior ministry had in 2010 empowered the then ambassador of Pakistan in Washington, Hussain Haqqani, to directly issue diplomatic visas to Americans without clearance of relevant authorities, a document reveals the authorisation originated from the office of then prime minister Yousuf Raza Gillani.

PPP hits back after letter empowering Hussain Haqqani 'leaked' to media

Clarifying the PPP's position on the controversy surrounding the issuance of over two thousand visas to US citizens, allegedly after bypassing proper channels, party spokesperson Senator Farhatullah Babar on Friday said there was "nothing new or wrong" in the letter sent by Prime Minister House to the Foreign Office in 2010 circulated in media today.

Rock n' Rollin' Sufi Wanna-be

Mr siddiqui:

Your article (Salman Ahmad Pens "Rock & Roll Jihad") is not shocking at all. Allow me to shock you.

You cannot possibly know old 'Sal' better than I do. Goodwill ambassadors are chosen very carefully to serve a purpose and an agenda which we need not touch upon here.

I have seen a video of Sal mockingly proclaim from across a dinner table that 'everyone says Islam is a religion of peace. …its a very sexy religion'.

Then another video purporting to show his amazing talent at ‘composing’ Quranic verses! He used a pop song’s melody to 'compose' the Qur'anic dua (Rabbana aatinaa fiddunya hasana....azaabun naar).

You say ‘Salman (no relative of Rushdie)’ but he is related if you look carefully the next time you go fishing.

What is 'Sufi rock', what is this rock ‘n roll Jihad non-sense? The Way forward for a Muslim is not to ape the nude-protesting Yoko-loving John Lennon's way.

The poor wandering singers at Karachi's Boating Basin sound better than this pseudo-Sufi wanna-be who did not answer the last question I asked him ("Do you believe in the finality of Messenger Muhammad and do you admit MGAQ was a fake prophet?).

Do not glorify fools who think they can change the world with the six strings of a guitar.
