NEOCON HAQQANI DOESN”T WANT SHARIF/ZARDARI PICS WITH IRANIAN PRESIDENT. All the leaders run to Dubai to hide.
Pakistanis were shocked to find out that in this hour of need, with huge food shortages looming in Karachi as well as other areas, and load-shedding in all major cities, all the Pakistani leaders are in Dubai. They shouldn’t have been. “Personal reasons?”
Gilani was left to hold the fort and do the “dirty” work of shaking hands with world leaders not acceptable to the land of the Mcdonald. Rupee News looked for pictures with Musharraf. If we find any, we will post them!
Want to see the power of American pressure upon the unelected leaders of the two major political parties of Pakistan? Both the apple-polishing Sharif brothers rushed to Dubai, ostensibly to meet the obeisant Mr. Zardari who very conveniently had extended his stay in Dubai. The Sharif brothers and Mr. Zardari were not available to see the leader, lest the pics are circulated on the media.
The Americans have been putting pressure on both India and Pakistan to keep the distance with Iran. India buckled under pressure and voted agaisnst Iran at the IAEA. On this visit to South Asia. The Indians are chagrined at the “he temerity of US imperialism’s advice to India on how it should deal with the visit of Iranian president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, to New Delhi”. To its credit the Musharraf government has resisted the US preissure to cancel the pipeline.
With India having spurned U.S. advice on dealing with Iran, the one-day visit of Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to New Delhi on April 29 will have energy as the focus. The pending $22 billion LNG deal, the $7.4 billion Iran-Pakistan-India pipeline and exploration and production joint ventures in Iran will top the high-level talks between the two countries. The Hindu
The Pakistani leaders just ran.
Disgusting? Yes!
If this is in response to the diktats from the diplomatic enclave, it is absolutely ridiculous.
With Zardari lining up to meet the Brits and the Americans, it is disgusting to see them avoid any pictures with Mr. Ahmednijad. We have already written extensively on the fact that Mr. Musharraf for all his faults refused to allow an attack on Iran. For this decision he paid with an extensive psy-ops campaign to remove him from office with a goal to destabilize Pakistan and China. Ms. Hillary Clinton as pseudo Democrat has threatened to obliterate Iran. Not a pip squeak from Mr. Nawaz Sharif, or Mr. Giliani!
Hasan Nisar on a Pakistan channel said that the two leaders are absolutely incapable of dealing with the enormous challenges facing Pakistan today. Both of them are working to consolidate their power, instead of focusing on the gargantuan issues of food shortage, electricity load-shedding, fuel prices, and budget deficits. The people are bracing for a huge wave of inflation when the petrol prices are raised within the next few days. Iran can help Pakistan in facing the oil crisis and the electricity crisis. Indian press reports say that the IPI is dead. At this point Iran needs a nuclear umbrella. Pakistan should provide it. Both the PM and the Foreign Minister should be living in Tehran right now.
President Musharraf was the last Pakistani president to visit Iran, and the new Prime Minister should visit Teheran and Istanbul as soon as possible, even if it is a short trip. If President Zia had worked with the Iranians, they could have come up with a deal and not supported the Northern Alliance with India.
Pakistan has much to gain from Iran and Iranian brotherhood. BLA: A threat to international peace-BLA is a creation of Indian RAW which is trying to create instability in the areas bordering Iran and Afghansitan. The BLA is the common enemy, and Pakistan and Iran must cooperate with each other on the BLA. When India had amassed 250,000 troops on the border with Pakistan, the Foreign Minister of Pakistan said that he expected Iran to help Pakistan, in case of war. India is a secreat player in Afghanistan. Iran can help neutralize this threat. China was there when Pakistan was threatened. Iran recognises the historic realignment that is going on and wants to be on the right side of the equation.Iran expects Pakistan to help her in this hour of crisis for her.China tells bilderbergers and trilaterals to back of Pakistan. The spigot got turned off. China wasn’t the only one. The Teheran Times warned the enemies of Pakistan during the height of the destabilization process early in 2008. Iran may be Waiting for the other shoe to fall–in Xinjian China. China and Iran know that RAW and the CIA is working Tibet and Xinjiang. Tehran can see this clearly.
Pakistan’s lifeline to China and China’s access to Gwador and the Arabian sea. Karakoram highway being upgraded. Iran should be a part of this access. Iran is struggling for his life. The dogs of war: Iranian oil bourse challenging the Dollar.The entire IPI project is to try to woo Pakistan in. Perhaps Iran has recognized the fact that the Indians are not trustworthy and they are not going to be the Superpower that they were billed to be last decade.
Peace in Swat, NATO impotency, Iran-Pakistan-China pipeline heralds the eviction of India from Afghansitan and perhaps even Shahbahar. Pakistan needs Iranian help urgently. At the OIC, Iran was the first country to bring up the plight of the Kashmiris, even before Pakistan brought it up. WIth Shah Behar competing with Gwadar, there must a long and continued discussion with Iran. Pakistani Gwador to China links threatened by Indian Shahbahar links to Kabul via Iran. The charges of the Jundallah working from bases in Pakistani Baluchistan have to be refuted and addressed. The BLA and BLF can be jointly hunted down in Sistan-Baluchistan and Baluchistan with Iranianhelp. Iran had considerable influence in Kabul, specially in the Shia Mashad area, and can cap and control the bilious blathering of the Mayor of Kabul, Mr. Karzai who is incarcerated in the “forbidden city”. Iran joins space club. Teheran recently shot a missile into space. Pakistan also needs to be space.
Peace in Swat, NATO impotency, Iran-Pakistan-China pipeline heralds the eviction of India from Afghansitan and perhaps even Shahbahar. Pakistan needs Iranian help urgently. At one point, Iran offered to pay Pakistan $6 Billion-advance payment for the IPI transit fee. Kabul is not addressing Pakistan’s concern. Iran has to be asked to “down boy, down” the Mayor of Kabul. Pakistan has to resist the Indian negotiators. The Indians have playing hardball on the IPI pipeline
Pakistan has had differences with Iran. Is this time to bury the hatchet?Dogs of war: The 7 bolloxed blunders of Iranian irrationality. All these have to be addressed with Teheran.
President visits Pakistan today
ISLAMABAD (ONLINE) — Iranian Ambassador to Pakistan Mashallah Shakiri has said that Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who is on an official visit to Sri Lanka, will make a four-hour stopover in Pakistan to discuss matters of mutual interest with special focus on energy cooperation with Pakistani leadership today (Monday).
Addressing the press conference here at Iranian consulate on Saturday, he said, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad during four-hour visit to Pakistan would meet Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf and Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani.
In 2006, the then President of Iran visited Pakistan but after that no Pakistani ruler paid official visit to Iran, however, President Pervez Musharraf during official visit to Turkey had a brief stopover in Iran, he said.
The forthcoming visit of Iranian President to Pakistan is in response of Musharraf?s brief visit to Iran, he said, adding that, the Iranian President would pay official visit to Pakistan followed by official visit of Pakistani President to Iran.
Answering to a question, he said, Iranian President have no schedule to meet Co-Chairman Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) Asif Ali Zardari and Pakistan Muslim League (PML-N) Chief Nawaz Sharif, however, it depend upon the hosts.
Issues related to establishment of peace, multi billion-dollar Iran-Pakistan-India (IPI) gas pipeline project, and bilateral cooperation would come under discussion during talks of Iranian President with Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf and Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gillani, he told media men.
Signature on IPI gas pipeline project is not in agenda, Iranian Ambassador to Pakistan Mashallah Shakiri while replying to another question. When asked about Iran-Pakistan bus service, he said, Iran is fully prepared to launch bus service from Quetta and Zahedan while Government of Balochistan is not ready so far, he said. It is our desire to start bus service as soon as possible, he maintained.
Iranian President during visit to Pakistan, he said, would also be accompanied by high level delegation comprised on Iranian Foreign Minister, Trade Minister, Petroleum Minister, Power and Energy Minister and authorities of Export Import Bank of Pakistan.
Commenting on Iran nuclear issue, he said, the section imposed by Security Council of United Nations are illegal. The section would not affect Iran because she is self sufficient in resources, he concluded.

India has rightly rebuffed these remarks stating that both India and Iran are ancient civilizations whose relations span centuries. Both, therefore, are perfectly capable of managing all aspects of their ties without, as the MEA spokesperson said, “any guidance on the future conduct of bilateral relations as both countries believe that engagement and dialogue alone lead to peace”.
Such attempts by the US to influence or even pressurise India into taking positions that dovetail US strategic concerns, resoundingly vindicate the apprehensions voiced by the Left in connection with the Indo-US nuclear deal anchored, as it is, in the US Hyde Act. Readers will recall that the Hyde Act explicitly states that India must take foreign policy positions that are “congruent” with US positions. It also stipulates greater enmeshing of India with USA’s military and intelligence activities globally and in South Asia. In this context, it is necessary that India must go beyond the official response of rejection of unilateral US interference on this count. This visit by the Iranian president must be utilised to further the Indo-Iranian gas pipeline project. It is widely recognised that this pipeline is not only a cheap energy source but will also go a long way in augmenting the energy capacities so urgently needed for India. In fact, if the argument of the protagonists of the Indo-US nuclear deal was based on this question of energy augmentation, then the gas pipeline is the cheapest and the best option for India as it comes without any conditionalities. This will immensely help us in meeting our expanding energy requirements. The UPA government must proceed ahead with this pipeline deal without any further delays. As regards the US asking India to take up the issue of Iran’s nuclear programme with the president, it must be noted that Iran is a signatory to the nuclear non-proliferation treaty. Iran is, therefore, bound by the rights and the obligations conferred by this treaty. It has the right to pursue a civilian nuclear programme while being obliged to abjure from undertaking any nuclear weaponisation programme. It is for the international watchdog to ensure Iran’s compliance on this score. The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has already stated that Iran does not have a nuclear weapons programme or capability. The IAEA had made similar observations regarding Iraq in the past. That, however, did not prevent or deter US imperialism from proceeding to launch a war against Iraq and continue with its military occupation based on an intricate web of fabrications. Every single excuse the US forwarded to the world as the legitimate reason for its attack on Iraq has been proved to be untrue. If it is making a similar case with Iran today and seeks to tread on a similar path as it did with Iraq, then India can never be a party to this. Given this, it is necessary that India moves beyond its official rebuff of these US comments by summoning the US ambassador to India and conveying in no uncertain terms that India cannot tolerate such gross interference in its internal affairs.
