?????? | ????? ????? | President Asif Zardari just a few weeks ago said the the Kashmir solution should be left to the next generation. US wants ISI destoryed. Then he said “India was not Pakistan’s number one enemy”. He invited Mr. Hamid Karzai to his inauguration. Water Wars: The impact of India stopping Pakistani water. After returning from the UK, USA and China has Mr. Zardari had an epiphany? He has now called on the same Mr. Karzia with which he shared the podium on his inauguration to halt cross border terrorism into Pakistan. What a difference a few weeks make.

What happened in the past few weeks?

Is it reality that visited President Asif Zardari, or did his meetings with Mr. Karzai, Mr. Bush and the Chinese leaders made him relaize that his old idealism was misplaced.

The volte face of Mr. Zardari either shows political maturity or some proof which he had not seen before. Zardari backs up request to US by threat: US drone shot down. What was the information that Mr. Zardari had not seen before as a private Pakistani citizen? What was the information that he has since seen? Pakistan repulses US raid: PAF jets chase away drones.

So the president has finally become aware of Indian duplicity and hostile intent towards Pakistan. Deeply rooted in its revisionist historical mindset, India is certainly not going to alter its approach towards Pakistan simply because of the presumed “charm offensive” the president feels he can turn on to right all ills the country faces! In fact, it is the Indians who yet again managed to trap our leadership into conceding all manner of political (on Kashmir) declaratory compromises and trade concessions while they continue to undermine us with water strangulation and baseless charges of cross-LOC infiltration. State and people still out of sync. Wednesday, October 15, 2008. Shireen M Mazari. How can Pakistan react to US attacks?

Afghan money fuels terrorism in Pakistan By Maqbool Malik submitted 6 hours 23 minutes ago

ISLAMABAD – President Asif Ali Zardari is believed to have called for immediate US steps to prevent the use of Afghan drug money in terrorism in Pakistan.

Pakistan’s National Crisis Management Cell (NCMC) submits proof of Indian RAW involvement in terror bombing in Pakistan. Blunt message to New Delhi to stop!

Reliable sources informed TheNation that President Zardari had conveyed these concerns to US Assistant Secretary of State for South and Central Asian Affairs Richard Boucher who was believed to have called on him Sunday at Aiwan-e-Sadr.

• Karzai the biggest drug baron in Afghanistan

The meeting was not officially confirmed, as the official spokesman of the President was not available for comments.
When contacted, the US embassy spokesman neither confirmed nor denied the meeting.

However, he clarified that Boucher’s current visit to Pakistan was mutually finalised by the two countries, adding the US Assistant Secretary was meeting various government officials, representatives of the civil society and political leaders.

• Insidious plan for Pakistan? Is US a Trojan horse in Afghanistan?

It was learnt that issues related to the war against terror, Pak-Afghan border situation and bilateral ties figured out during the meeting.

• The last mayor of Kabul’s failures spell the end of Afghanistan. How long can the inept Karzai blame others for his corrupt Narco Warlordism?

The sources said the President Zardari also called upon the US and the world community to halt intrusion into tribal areas from Afghanistan. He said Islamabad was fighting a war against terrorism under a comprehensive strategy and the US was needed to understand the ground realities in Pakistan.

Boucher participating in the discussion said the US supported Pakistan’s policy against terrorism and high-tech weapons would be supplied to Pakistan forces for crushing the miscreants. He said he would ask President Karzai in a meeting to stop intrusion into Fata from Afghanistan.

• India intelligence: “‘the aim of RAW is to keep internal disturbances flaring up and the ISI preoccupied so that Pakistan can lend no worthwhile resistance to Indian designs in the region.”

Meanwhile, it was learnt that Boucher would also meet PML-N Quaid Nawaz Sharif and Chief Minister Punjab Shahbaz Sharif here on Monday to discuss political issues and war on terror.

• Kabul bombing: Ruse to send Indian troops to Afghansitan?

PML-N sources said, “Sharifs would convey the party viewpoint to the visiting US official to encourage negotiations with Taliban in order to establish durable peace in the region.”
