Our withering sovereignty!
2011-05-15
By General Retd Mirza Aslam Beg

The Abbottabad episode of May 2, 2011, provides the opportunity to restore our national sovereignty and establish a new level of relationship with our immediate neighbours and countries beyond. It is a ‘blessing in disguise’ to restore national honour and dignity. In fact, the 2/5 episode was a hoax and a big lie, the same as the 9/11 episode was a big lie for an excuse to launch a crusade against the Muslim world.

OsamaÂ’s look-alike prisoner from Bagram was picked up and brought to Abbottabad and killed in cold blood in front of his family members, who were living there. In fact, OBL had been killed in Afghanistan some time back and his body may still be lying in a mortuary in Afghanistan. They showed a bullet-ridden picture of Osama, which was two years old, and another photo that had no resemblance with him. His body was dumped into the sea to hide the crime committed in such a clumsy manner. The 2/5 episode was the finale of the 9/11 lies and was meant to achieve three main objectives:

i With the mission accomplished, Obama was to gain political advantage in the forthcoming elections;

i To find an excuse for the withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan.

i To defame the Pakistan government, its armed forces and the ISI.

On all the three counts, the US President has gained and Pakistan now is reeling under pressure, blaming its own armed forces and the ISI for the failure to safeguard territorial sovereignty, not knowing that we ourselves have pillaged the countryÂ’s sovereignty as a matter of political expediency. It is a sad story, but needs to be remembered.

With the first military takeover of Ayub Khan in 1958, the Americans entered Pakistan and established their tentacles, and got so entrenched that they were able to boot out Ayub Khan, when they found him getting too big for his boots. Ironically, a political movement was launched to replace him with Yahya Khan, who became the catalyst for the dismemberment of Pakistan. Zulfikar Ali Bhutto took over as the first elected Prime Minister of Pakistan. He was a visionary leader and statesman, and did not fit into the ‘American agenda of Great Game on the Global Chessboard’. Thus, he became an unwanted leader, because he opened the way to China; he asked King Faisal to assume the leadership of the Muslim world and also laid the foundation for Pakistan’s nuclear programme. Therefore, he had to be punished and “made a horrible example” at the hands of a military dictator and a compliant judiciary.

#4  IIUC HAMID MIR > OBL desired to improve, empower Islam + Islamism via JIHAD which required the cooper = combined might, etc. of the various sectarian Militant Groups which likely would not had occurred IFF US TROOPS WERE NOT IN THE MIDDLE EAST = MUSLIM LANDS IN THEIR CURRENT SCALE OR BETTER???

IOW, NO 9-11 OR SIMILAR = NO US MIL RESPONSE = NO INTER-MILTERR COOPER = NO JIHAD = ISLAMIC WORLD STEADILY SELF-IMPLODES LIKE USSR???

Which is not in Pakistan's interests as per Pak's own perceived "Manifest Destiny" = desire to become a "Great State/Power" in its own right???

#3  Me, too, JQC. Not sure how you sneak a look-alike into the bedroom without the wifee noticing, unless they were under a "spell" like Dinnerjacket.
However, General Aslam Beg is showing his true conspiracy colors and is thought to be connected to AQ Khan and the rumored rogue nukes. The proximity of Binny's compound to the Khan's and the ISI is disconcerting to say the least, and he should not be dismissed as another nutjob.

#2  Pakistan supports several armies, none of them American, which roam around, killing Muslims mainly. These armies are not dogs, for dogs would not bite the hand that feeds them. These armies suck the sovereignty right out of Pakistan.

Pakistan will be a great country, when -
it stops killing its neighbors,
it stops paying armies, which kill Paks,
it stops lying, or at least agrees on its lies,
it does something for its citizens (& not the madrases or army), and
it stops thinking about its pride and starts doing something for its people.
