US looking for excuse to attack: Qazi
2011-09-25
[Dawn] Former Amir of Jamaat-i-Islami Qazi Hussain Ahmed has said that the US push for establishing a relation between the Haqqani network and ISI is a mere drama in order to materialise its plan of attacking Pakistain.
We've been materializing our plan for simply ages, Former Amir Qazi Hussein Ahmed. How odd that you haven't noticed. But perhaps that's because, as a mere former amir, your name is far down the list for a missile of your very own.
I have no problem voting him up the list...
"The United States is planning to launch an attack on Pakistain on the pretext of hot pursuit. The Haqqani network and ISI relation is a mere drama in order to materialise its plan," Mr Ahmed said in statement issued here on Friday. The JI leader said that the government, Pakistain Army and the entire nation should be ready for any action by the US against Pakistain. He suggested that the government should clearly warn the US that in case of attack Pakistain could use any kinds of weapons for its defence.
Could, yes indeed. Haven't been, for some reason...
The people, he said, still remembered that the US attack on Iraq was launched on the pretext of search for chemical weapons, but no such arms were recovered in the country so far.
Not true, but you go ahead believing the New York Times and their claque, if it brings you comfort. But think on the implications, were it true: not only did we stay on anyway, but we forced democracy on a population that discovered it liked it...and led to the various Arab Spring revolts. However they might turn out long term, the former rulers will no longer be in power, a very real consequence.
He said that the 9/11 was also a drama prepared by the US to attack Afghanistan. He said that thousands of innocent Afghans were killed without any reason.
Another useful thing to ponder, whether or not it's true, you silly fool.
In his statement, the JI leader referred to a book of a Western journalist, Freidman, wherein he had claimed that the US would attack Pakistain and India would capture a portion of its territory.

"Had the US any interest in elimination of the Haqqani network it will have attacked it in Afghanistan, as it had nothing to do with Pakistain," he said.

The JI leader disclosed that during his recent meeting in Iran with Afghan leader Burhanuddin Rabbani
... the legitimate president of Afghanistan...
 -- who was assassinated a few days ago -- he (Rabbani) had said that the Afghanistan's Caped President Hamid Maybe I'll join the Taliban Karzai
... A former Baltimore restaurateur, now 12th and current President of Afghanistan, displacing the legitimate president Rabbani in December 2004. He was installed as the dominant political figure after the removal of the Taliban regime in late 2001 in a vain attempt to put a Pashtun face on the successor state to the Taliban. After the 2004 presidential election, he was declared president regardless of what the actual vote count was. He won a second, even more dubious, five-year-term after the 2009 presidential election. His grip on reality has been slipping steadily since around 2007, probably from heavy drug use...
 believed that his brother Ahmed Wali Kazai was killed by the US.

#2  Pakistan has no fear of trying to assassinate national leaders like Rabbani or even Bush on Sept. 11, 2001. I see no reason for the US to hold off splashing a 1000 pounder on Pakis like Qazi.
