'Pakistan not responsible for terrorism'
 [Iran Press TV] Pak Prime Minister, Yousuf Raza Gilani, says it is not his country that should be held accountable for the creation of the al-Qaeda terrorist network.Then his lips fell off Gilani, in his speech, rejected the allegations that Pak officials were aware of the al-Qaeda leader's hideout as absurd, a Press TV correspondent reported. "Tut tut, my good man! And tut!" "Pakistain is not the birthplace of al Qaeda. We did not invite the late Osama bin Laden ... doesn't live anywhere anymore... to Pakistain, or even to Afghanistan," Gilani said. "He just moved in to a million dollar compound within walking distance of our national military academy and with dozens of retired generals for neighbors!" Gilani was briefing the lower house of Pakistain's parliament on the recent US raid in the town of Abbottabad. "Harumph! Harumph!" "Let no-one draw any wrong conclusions. Any attack against Pakistain's strategic assets, whether overt or covert, will find a matching response. "We will kick yore butt!" "Pakistain reserves the right to retaliate with full force. "Feeeear the Mighty Pak Army, the Scourge of Kargill! Destroyer of Bangladesh!" "No-one should underestimate the resolve and capability of our nation and armed forces to defend our sacred homeland," he said. "We mean business, and I ain't talkin' dry cleaning!" "We have strong differences with the United States. "But we do allow them to give us money..." "The media spin masters have tended to portray a false divide between the state institutions of Pakistain. I would like to most emphatically reject the notion of divide," the premier noted. "We're all on the same sheet of music here. We do exactly what the ISI tells us to do!" However, The didactic However... he said Pakistain is determined not to allow its soil to be used for militancy. "No, no! Certainly not!" "Pakistain will not relent in this national cause and it is determined not to allow its soil to be used by anyone for terrorism," he added. "And we have a very precise definition of terrorism, lemme tell youse!" The Pak premier also told the politicians that an investigation has been ordered into the presence of bin Laden in Abbottabad. "Governor William J. Le Petomane will be submitting a full report any day now! As soon as he's finished with the Benazir Bhutto inquiry..." Last Sunday, US President Barack B.O.Obama announced that the al-Qaeda leader had been killed in a US military attack on a compound near Islamabad. "He's dead, y'all!" Washington claims its special forces killed Osama bin Laden in the attack without informing Islamabad. CIA chief Leon Panetta said the US did not inform Pak authorities about the raid since they feared Islamabad might disrupt the mission. The remarks come as pressure mounts on Islamabad to explain how bin Laden managed to hide out in a compound near a military camp for several years. Posted by: Fred 2011-05-10 |
