Mullah Diesel: Pakistan Government hoodwinking USA
2005-08-08
The Pakistani government is deceiving the US and the West by helping militants freely enter Afghanistan from Waziristan, Muttahida Majlis-e-Amal (MMA) Secretary General Maulana Fazlur Rehman said on Sunday. Earlier, Fazl had said that if pressured he would reveal facts that would open a Pandora’s box.
"Plots. Wheels within wheels. Enemies as far as the eye can see. Further, even. Open your hearts and your wallets, brethren and sistren."
The government would have to decide whether it wanted to support jihadis or close down their camps, he said, adding, “We will have to openly tell the world whether we want to support jihadis or crack down on them. We can’t afford to be hypocritical anymore...”

#9  Following Abe Lincoln's opinion that everyone over 40 is responsible for his face, I'm betting this guy is bad news....

#7  Perhaps he is right. Were they to stay in Pakland, there is little the divided government could do about it. But helped out, or kicked out, to go to Afghanistan, the Pak government can only shrug and say that "It is the will of Allan that they walzed right in to a major ambush. Allan did not smile on them. They are martyrs. Not our problem."

#6  I guess Mullah Diesel doesn't like it when he isn't allowed to go on a shopping spree diplomatic visit to Dubai.

I think this really hurt him.
Beneath his "islamic" identity, he is like any Pak feudal and loves the high life. Being banned from the UAE while those in the army and ISI are free must rankle.

#4  Me thinks that it is just another power play. His statements may contain factual data, but he's probably just trying to blackmail some concessions out of the Army, the ISI, the Saudi financers or the Feudals -- most likely the Army and/or ISI given the nature of his comments. Truth, lies... they're just two different types of ammunition.

#3  He does raise a good point, for all the blame levied against the Mullah's for involvement in terrorism, it's not the holy men who run the training camps and arm the Jihadis.

I guess Mullah Diesel doesn't like it when he isn't allowed to go on a shopping spree diplomatic visit to Dubai.
