A.Q. Khan starts new anti-American political party in Pakiwakiland
 Following his release from house arrest three years ago, Khan, 75, quietly went to work off stage to form a coalition of former military leaders and prominent anti-U.S. politicians. Khan's new political party is named "Tehrik-i-Tahaffuz Pakistan," which means "Movement to Protect Pakistan." There is already another TTP -- Tehtik e Taliban Pakistan -- which stands for the "Black Tornado." No it doesn't. It means "Party of the Talibs (religious students) of Pakistain." Khan will serve as "patron in chief" of the new party. Addressing his new anti-American flock, he said, "I never wanted to join politics but when your country is on the verge of total collapse, it is not right to remain a spectator. Khan has left no doubt that he expects to be the next president of Pakistan. And he has already picked the man he wants as prime minister: Imran Khan,  ... aka Taliban Khan, who is the lightweight's lightweight... chairman of Tehreek-e-Insaf (Movement of Justice Party) A.Q. Khan and Hamid Gul The nutty former head of Pakistain's ISI, now Godfather to Mullah Omar's Talibs and good buddy and consultant to al-Qaeda's high command... together have a wide circle of friends and supporters whose principal objective is to move the United States and its NATO allies out of Afghanistan, coupled with a de facto alliance with Taliban to maneuver the United States out of Afghanistan, in effect sealing victory for Taliban, whom they believe they can control.  When and if the anti-U.S. coalition moves as a cohesive front, and takes over Pakistan from the top down, they will be faced with a quagmire of seemingly insuperable crises. These range from banned terrorist networks operating increasingly above ground to an economic disaster in a nuclear power.It all adds up to something bigger than all the combined threats now facing the remainder of the moderate democratic world.
