Hussain Haqqani:-Dangerous Fifth Column or Selfish opportunist or Neocon mule or Naive imbecile?

Pakistan’s New Ambassador: Traitor or Naïve fool? Rupee News has tried to ascertain if Mr. Haqqani is naive,  just an opportunitst, a pawn in the hands of the “doers and shakers”, or part of a diabolical conspiracy to place Manuchrian candidates in positions of power within the Pakistani government

Haqqani and his wife, PPP MNA Farahnaz Isphani, worked to cultivate Asif Zardari as well, unlike many other unwise piplyas (Amin Fahim, Naheed Khan, Senator Abbasi and some lesser beings) who today have been frozen out all because their universe was Benazir Bhutto. They looked upon Zardari as a satellite. Didn’t we all? But fate had other plans for the former “first gentleman.”  Serendipity or Fortuitous happentance by Anum Niaz

Mr. Potato-Chips goes to Washington:-Neocon from Pakistan. The “wannabee goras” see no impact of the historical issues to Pakistani and other Muslims societies, and squarly lay the blame on internal factors which are depicted as “triba”, agressive, bent of world domination and have an intense hatred of the West. Mr. Haqqani seems to adhere to the cliche “They hate us because of our freedoms.”

The co-chairman of the PPP is currently a very busy man accommodating his loyalists. I am sure he must be inundated with reminders from all those bounty hunters claiming to have been his foot soldiers during his “dark” days in exile. So far the pattern has been predictable. Without any waste of time, Husain Haqqani, Rahman Malik, Siraj Shamsuddin and Salman Farooqi were appointed as soon as the Dogar court made the NRO (National Reconciliation Ordinance) a permanent fixture. Malik, Haqqani and Farooqi, who had cases of wrongdoing filed with the NAB (National Accountability Bureau), not only earned reprieve but got appointed to high positions. (Even Farooqi’s brother Usman Farooqi has received a fiduciary clean bill of character.) Serendipity or Fortuitous happentance by Anum Niaz

A rebuttal to Mr. Haqqani: US policy and Pakistan’s drift. Over the years, Mr. Haqqani has written a lot against Pakistan. This is a rebuttal. This rebuttal was also submitted to Mr. Haqqani personally. Upon Mr. Haqqani’s request his part of the mail excahnge has been deleted.

 We wrote a while back “naun sau choohay kha keh billee haj ko chalee” (after doing 900 wrongs, he has gone for pilgrimage to wash his sins away). Mr. Husain Haqqani has been siting in the lap of the Neoconsdisparaging Islam and vomiting against Pakistan for the best part of a decade. Now he is rewarded with an Ambassadorial position to represent Pakistan.

Mr. Haqqani is the new Ambassador to the USA. As ambassador, Haqqani will essentially act as a “prime minister representative to the USA,” –a job diametrically opposite of what he was doing. Pakistani Americans hopes he is sent back to Sri Lanka.

A Western OrientalGentleman (WOG) came to the USA in 2002. His credentials were pretty weak an MA from The University of Karachi. He noticed that there was a huge opportunity in making a deal with Faust and selling Islamphobia to the naive and scared American public. In the grand tradition of “Orientalism”, this new FOB (Fresh of the boat) man jumped on the Neocon bandwagon and stabbed the Civil Rights Movement in the heart. Mr. Hussain Haqqani’s incorrect, false and incendiary statements caused havoc with the normal functioning of the great American Democracy. Hackles were raised. If a man named Hussian said this, it must be true. If a Pakistani said this it must have veracity.

The major Kashmiri Jihadi groups retain their infrastructure because the Pakistani military has not decided to give up the option of battling India at a future date. Afghanistan’s Taliban also continue to find safe haven in parts of Pakistan.Hussain Haqqani

Mr. Haqqani’s statements and article fanned the wave of Islamphobia which ended up affecting the lives, and livelihood of thousands of Muslims. It was because of this sort of Islamphobic drivel that thousands of Pakistanis were packed up in C-130s and sent back to Pakistan. If they were lucky the spent a few nights in the rape and sodomy centers  of 3rd world and Eastern European torture centers. If they were unlucky many of these Pizza Delivery people ended up in Gitmo. If they were unlucky they ended up in satellite prison systems in Egypt and Jordan’s notorious “mukhabarrat”. For these unlucky souls Abu Ghraibwould be a picnic. Many of these horror stories are listed in “Civil Rights in Peril” and hundreds of other Human rights and Amnesty International reports.

Husain Haqqani, a Pakistani diplomat and adviser to Prime Minister Bhutto is the co-chair of Hudson’s Centre on Islam, Democracy and the Future of the Muslim World. The Washington, D.C.-based Hudson Institute has its own of think-tanks with a diverse mix of Ceoconservatives and Pakistani Neocons.  Hudson Institute’s CID was established by Hillel Fradkin, a neocon signatory to the PNACs (Project for New American Century), letter to the President Bushurging war against Iraq. It also equated the Palestinian Authority with Al-Qaeda.

Synopses & Reviews Publisher Comments:
Among U.S. allies in the war against terrorism, Pakistan cannot be easily characterized as either friend or foe. Nuclear-armed Pakistan is an important center of radicalIslamic ideas and groups. Since 9/11, the selective cooperation of president General Pervez Musharraf in sharing intelligence with the United States and apprehending al Qaedamembers has led to the assumption that Pakistan might be ready to give up its longstanding ties with radical Islam. But Pakistansstatus as an Islamic ideological state is closely linked with the Pakistani elites worldview and the praetorian ambitions of its military. This book analyzes the origins of the relationships between Islamist groups and Pakistans military, and explores the nations quest for identity and security. Tracing how the military has sought U.S. support by making itself useful for concerns of the momentwhile continuing to strengthen the mosque-military alliance within PakistanHaqqani offers an alternative view of political developments since the countrys independence in 1947.

Book News Annotation:
Tracing politicaldevelopments in Pakistan from the deliberately vague ideological justifications the Muslim League’s Muhhamad Ali Jinnah employed in calling for the formation of Pakistan to the present time, Haqqani (a former advisorto three Pakistani prime ministers and now a professor of international relations at Boston U.) analyzes the uneasy political alliance between the military and Islamists that has developed over the years and now poses unique challenges for the American “War on Terror” and relations with South Asia.

Synopsis:
Because of its cooperation with the United States since 9/11, Pakistan is thought to be ready to give up its longstanding ties with radicalIslam. But its status as an ideological Islamic state is closely linked with the Pakistani elite’s worldview and the praetorian ambitions of its military. This book analyzes the relationships between Islamist groups and Pakistan’s military. Tracing how the military has sought U.S. support by making itself useful for concerns of the moment–while continuing to strengthen the mosque-military alliance within Pakistan–Haqqani offers an alternative view of political developments since the country’s independence in 1947.

Mr. Haqqani should have been defending the innocent. He was like Nero wathcin Rome Burn. Mr. Haqqani was not just a spectator, he was an active participat on the crusade on Muslims in the West.

Rebuttal to Mr. Haqqani’s book

Now this Neocon is coming back to the USA as Pakistan’s Ambassador?
