| Hamid Gul sez suicide squads "disturb balance of power" in Iraq |
| 2003-04-02 |
| A top Pakistani defense analyst and former chief of Inter-Services Intelligence on Wednesday said the suicide bombers had disturbed balance of power in Iraq war. "The unjustified and unilateral war has taken a new decisive turn and the human life is up against machinery," General (Retd.) Hameed Gul remarked during an interview with IRNA here. Hamid, lest we forget, is a raving Islamist with a pathological hatred for the U.S. and Britain. My favorite quote: "It's not that difficult to obtain a suitcase-size nuclear weapon. Just the thing for retaliation against London or New York." He maintained that the supremacy of latest weaponry had been neutralized with suicide bombing, sending shockwaves within the ranks of US-led usurpers and killers of humanity and forcing them to resort to indiscriminate bombardment on Iraq. It appears, he noted, the apparently helpless Iraqi people have decided to lay down their lives for the defense of their motherland instead of becoming targets of relentless bombardment. The war against Iraq, Hameed Gul said was a slap in the face of civilized American society and their values as the leading nation of the world. "The US respect for human rights and sovereignty of other countries stands exposed," he remarked. To a question, he maintained there were no two opinions that the unilateral military operation had resulted in diplomatic defeat of the US; democracy slaughtered and freedom of American nation trampled under the foot of George W Bush's barbaric policy. He came down heavily on the Western media for portraying wrong picture and lamented that instead of giving a true perspective of the imposed war, the media were trying to mislead the world. "I think, the despotic rulers have forced their media to tell blatant lie to the world and to their own people and conceal their colossal losses in Iraq," the analyst noted. |

| #1 This guy's telling the IRNA what they want to hear. He has no clue about what's happening, and he has no idea what's going on in this country. He also is deathly afraid of what's happening in Iraq. He's seen us get hit with the unexpected, take a deep breath, and pick up and go on. That scares him into needing Depends. As one novelist I've read recently stated, "he's a waste of good oxygen". |
