#1 Zardari delivered a speech saying, "We are the well wishers of all (except, of course, Israel, the USA, India and Afghanistan), and don't want to make any more enemies, (like, of course, Israel, India and Afghanistan)," the president said in remarks that officials interpreted as a snub to American pressure seeking permission for anti-Iran intelligence operations.

#2 "They (Americans) want to use our soil against Iran, which we can never allow," said the official, who did not want to be named.

No surprises here. Meanwhile, ISAF continues to host PAK Army spies LNO's at critical US FOBs and provide certain levels of intelligenc collection to the Paks.

#3 Since the Paks leak like a sieve, it would be best to ruin their cred by feeding them disinformation to forward to Iran. Then, if they actually discovered something true, the Iranians wouldn't believe it.

This is the very purpose of disinformation.

#4 We are the well wishers of all and don't want to make any more enemies
They have an A-Z of enemies mainly down to their intolerance to anyone non muslim.

At least Iran is honest re Western hostility are Pakistan or Saudi who do it in a proxy/two faced way.

#5 Post-2014 Afghanistan needs direct or strategic access to the Sea of Oman + Indian Ocean iff it + US-West ever hope one day to see it transform from a seeming uncontrollable "Wild Wild West" in West Asia into a successful, self-reliant or mostly self-reliant country. DITTO FOR THE EX-SOVIET STANS IN CENTRAL ASIA REGION [C.A.R].
