Our withering sovereignty!
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. Osamas 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 countrys 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 Pakistans nuclear programme. Therefore, he had to be punished and made a horrible example at the hands of a military dictator and a compliant judiciary. Posted by: john frum 2011-05-15 |
