US confused: Pakistan moves ahead with gas import and LNG contracts

Posted on 21 June 2010.

IT was quite surprising to hear Mr Holbrooke tell the journalists at Islamabad on Saturday that the US had no objection to Pakistan getting natural gas from Iran since it was facing an acute energy crisis. The surprise news – a pleasant surprise for the loadshedding-beaten people here – however, called for serious thinking about what [...]

Obama's Mistress of hate–Sonal Shah

Posted on 20 June 2010. Tags: Hate mistress, Sonal Shah

US President-elect Barack Obama may have cultivated a left-of-center image for himself, but Sonal Shah, the Indian-American advisor in his transition team, has well established rightwing VHP leanings.

The 40-year-old economist has been associated with the overseas activities of the Sangh Parivar. She was a national coordinator of the Vishwa Hindu Parishad of America campaign to raise funds for Gujarat earthquake victims in 2001.

WSJ attacks India and criticizes Zakir Naik

Posted on 20 June 2010. Tags: India, televangelist, Zakir Naik

It is amazing that while the Wall Street Journal pulls all the stops to crticize Dr. Zakir Naik, not a word is uttered on Sonal Shah or the World Hindu Council, or the BJP, or the RSS, or even Mr. Modi. Not a word is said against Sonal Shah who can visit the White House [...]

Obama fires worst White House Chief of Staff ever

Posted on 20 June 2010. Tags: Rahm Emanue

Mr. Raham Emanuel should have been fired a long time ago–for incompetence and for bias. It is amazing that Mr. Obama picked Mr. Emanuel as his first choice. Perhaps he was trying to show the world how open-minded he was. One of the biggest criticisms of Mr. Emanuel is that he refused to deliberately act [...]

Iran hangs terrorists supported by USA and India

Posted on 20 June 2010. Tags: Iran, Jundullah, Terrorist

It is amazing that a terror group using murder and mayhem is not on the US terror list. In fact the front page story in the New York times doesn’t even have the word “terror” or “terrorist” in it. The US Congress had allocated $450 million to instigate Iranains against the government. Support for Jundullah and Mujahideen a Khalq were part and parcel of the funding. Jundullah is headquartered in Tel Aviv and is Israel’s answer to Hizbullah and Hamas. The Jundullah Rigi met with the Indian Ambassador in Kabul and on his way out of Afghanistan was arrested by the Pakistanis and handed over to the Iranians. His brother was dealt in the same manner and will meet the same fate.

Where are the drones which bomb those who harbor and provide succor to the Jundallah terrorists. Where is the UN report listing the evil doers of Jundallah? Why is the world silent on the murderous Junduallah?
