Pakistan's American Face

If you want the low-down on Pakistani politics, go HERE and check out the MUST READ section!

He knows a propagandist when he sees one!


"BU professor-turned-Pakistan-envoy draws fire" by Farah Stockman, Globe Staff | November 4, 2009

WASHINGTON - Professor Husain Haqqani, who took a leave of absence from Boston University to become Pakistan’s ambassador to the United States last year, is one of the most influential figures in his nation’s government. But in recent weeks, Haqqani has been fighting for his political survival, accused of something that can tank a government career in Pakistan: being too “pro-American.’’

Some journalists in Pakistan have denounced him.

Yeah, and I READ ONE!!!!!

Of course, my PRINTED GLOBE says "right-wing" journalists.

Globe must have gotten a call from the Pakistan embassy!

So Mr. Quraishi is a "right-winger," huh?

That's odd; I thought he was just a person that LOVES HIS COUNTRY!!!

Opposition members of parliament have given scathing speeches about him. Pakistani military officials have sought his dismissal. The attacks have been so nasty that Haqqani has filed a defamation lawsuit against a leading Pakistani newspaper. If he returned home, friends say, his safety could be threatened....

Then he better not go back.

Ironically, the recent spate of criticism stems from Haqqani’s role in shaping a $7.5 billion, five-year US aid package to Pakistan that aims to strengthen the friendship between the countries.

Clinton Carries Package to Pakistan

Yeah, is it NOT INTERESTING that the as soon as the Pakistanis complained about the package the "terrorists" hit?!

CUI BONO?

The package, which triples US assistance for projects such as schools, clinics, and roads, was widely celebrated by Pakistan’s civilian leaders when it was announced in September. But the aid - pushed by Senator John F. Kerry of Massachusetts - has drawn an angry reaction from Islamist opposition politicians and senior officials of Pakistan’s military.

Yeah, if you OPPOSE US then you are LABELED an ISLAMIST!!!!

They have called the aid bill insulting to the Pakistani armed forces because it suggests that military purchases should be tied to continued cooperation in the war against the Taliban, and because it promotes control of the military by civilian government. Two weeks ago, the Pakistani Observer newspaper called the aid “a slavery accord’’ and incorrectly reported that Haqqani would be replaced within 48 hours.

Here is why he was not: If Fired, Haqqani Threatens To Reveal 'Reams' of Pakistani Secrets

And GOOD THING Zionist AmeriKan newspapers never incorrectly rep.... never mind.

The furor has exposed a dangerous, continuing struggle between Pakistan’s powerful military, which Haqqani criticized as a professor, and the fledgling, democratically elected government. “The [Pakistani] military clearly has decided that it would like to have him removed,’’ said a US congressional aide who asked not to be named because he was not authorized to speak to the press....

Yes, the PAKISTANI MILITARY must be made an enemy now because THEY DID NOT LIKE the AID PACKAGE!!!!

What, the OCEANS of PASHTUN BLOOD in SACRIFICE ain't good enough?

**********************

Haqqani has maintained ties to Boston University and continues to advise a student pursuing a doctorate who is defending her dissertation this month. Haqqani has a reputation for emerging victorious from political warfare in Washington and Islamabad. Born in Karachi, he was once a radical Islamist activist.

Oh, so he is an AGENT PROVOCATEUR!!!!!

Then he turned to journalism, and finally to politics. Known as charming and shrewd, he was a senior aide for two rival prime ministers. In 1996, when Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto was ousted for a second time and went into exile, it looked as though Haqqani’s career was finished. But he managed to reinvent himself and rise to a more important post.

In 1999, when the Pakistani military toppled the civilian government in a coup, Haqqani’s political future appeared bleak. But after the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, 2001, Pakistan became an important US ally, and his writings sparked great interest in the United States. In 2002, he joined the Carnegie Endowment, a Washington-based think tank. In 2004, he arrived in Boston, becoming a popular professor whose office was packed with interested students.

The APPLE of AmeriKa's eye, huh?

While at BU, Haqqani finished his book “Pakistan: Between Mosque and Military,’’ which detailed the troublesome alliance between Pakistan’s military and radical Islamists groups.

So he is a BULLSHITTER, too, huh?

"The U.S. government was well aware of the Taliban's reactionary program, yet it chose to back their rise to power in the mid-1990s. The creation of the Taliban was "actively encouraged by the ISI and the CIA," according to Selig Harrison, an expert on U.S. relations with Asia. "The United States encouraged Saudi Arabia and Pakistan to support the Taliban, certainly right up to their advance on Kabul," adds respected journalist Ahmed Rashid. When the Taliban took power, State Department spokesperson Glyn Davies said that he saw "nothing objectionable" in the Taliban's plans to impose strict Islamic law, and Senator Hank Brown, chair of the Senate Foreign Relations Subcommittee on the Near East and South Asia, welcomed the new regime: "The good part of what has happened is that one of the factions at last seems capable of developing a new government in Afghanistan." "The Taliban will probably develop like the Saudis. There will be Aramco [the consortium of oil companies that controlled Saudi oil], pipelines, an emir, no parliament and lots of Sharia law. We can live with that," said another U.S. diplomat in 1997."

What, he LEFT THAT OUT of his BOOK, did he?

In the book, he argued that the United States should use its aid to break the cycle of military dictatorship in Pakistan.

All while OUR BUDDY Musharaff (sic) was doing his DICTATOR IMPRESSION!!!

Notice how MUSHY is IGNORED here?


Haqqani told his students that the United States needed to become a long-term ally of Pakistan’s government, not just a fair-weather friend to its army whenever Washington needs help fighting a war - a key principle enshrined in the new aid package.

Yeah, and if you are no help we turn on you!

In 2008, Pakistan’s military leaders stepped aside and allowed for the election of a new civilian government. Ali Asif Zardari, the husband of the late Bhutto, became Pakistan’s new president and sent his friend Haqqani to Washington.

They really SKIMMED over the BHUTTO ASSASSINATION, too!!

"U.N. not to name culprits in Bhutto assassination The U.N. team conducting an inquiry into the assassination of former Pakistani Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto will not seek to name culprits, the commission's head said Friday, lowering expectations from the outset.

Already on a first-name basis with many key congressmen, the professor quickly became an influential figure, a frequent visitor to the White House and Capitol Hill.

I didn't know he was *ewish, did you?

An avid Red Sox fan who is more likely to wear an expensive suit than a loose-fitting traditional shalwar kamiz, Haqqani captivated US audiences with speeches about Pakistan’s woes.

WHO GIVES a FLYING F*** about the RED SOX!!!

People are DYING over these DAMNABLE LIES!!!!!!!!!

But his role in Washington has long caused consternation among those who say he is out of touch with Pakistan and too American in his point of view. Although his wife, a former CNN producer, holds a seat in Pakistan’s parliament, Haqqani hasn’t returned to Islamabad for eight months.

They ALL MIX in the SAME CIRCLES, don't they?

It's ALL ABOUT CLASS, America, NOT religion or race!

Don't be a tool of the *ew!

“Many Pakistanis say that they think he is too close to Washington, that he has spent too much time outside the country, that he doesn’t understand the demands of the Pakistani people,’’ said Daniel Markey, a senior fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations who said complaints about Haqqani came up frequently during his meetings in Pakistan last week.

First I heard about the CFR being OVER THERE -- and probably the LAST!

And WHAT is so hard to UNDERSTAND about WANTING to LIVE in PEACE and be LEFT ALONE, huh?

Haqqani’s failure to predict or prepare for the outrage in Pakistan over the language in Kerry’s aid package “may be an example of that,’’ Markey said. “The embassy should have known that some people were going to try to make hay of it, and headed that off in advance.’’

But Samina Ahmed, an Islamabad-based analyst for the International Crisis Group, said the attacks on Haqqani were carefully orchestrated by the military to weaken the government he represents. She predicted more will come.

ANOTHER GLOBALIST OUTFIT!

“These are the first rumblings of the storm,’’ she said. “This is the beginning of the military trying to take down this civilian government.’’

And THUS we must OCCUPY PAKISTAN, America!

So HOW MANY MILITARY DICTATORSHIPS are there in the world?

--more--"
