America's Sleazeball Haqqani




In the thick of the debate over Kerry-Lugar bill in Pakistan, Ambassador Husain Haqqani came under unprecedented attack. In fact, he is the only Pakistani ambassador to US who was ruthlessly criticized in the federal parliament for two days, with open demands that he be recalled from Washington. There are two reasons he survived. One is Mr. Zardari, and the second is the terrorist attack on the GHQ building in Rawalpindi. Pakistan's isolated President sees Mr. Haqqani as his man in Washington, entrusted with ensuring that Washington keeps its part of the 'deal' that brought his government to power. Interestingly, the Americans see Haqqani as their man, entrusted with ensuring that Zardari and Pakistan's military keep their parts of the 'deal'. When Mr. Haqqani sensed the noose tightening around his neck, he tried to play smart, using the Foreign Policy magazine to leak out a message to whom it may concern in Islamabad [and Rawalpindi]. The Nation published this message in a story titled If Fired, Haqqani Threatens To Reveal 'Reams' of Pakistani Secrets on Oct. 14. Mr. Haqqani didn't anticipate that someone will catch his subtle message. So he slapped a defamation suit. But he certainly wasn't expecting this response from The Nation. Here it is in case you missed it.

  1. If the Pakistan government appoints a USA citizen as Ambassador in Washington and a British citizen as High Commissioner in the UK, the consequences will inevitably be a dilution of Pakistan's interests. It is the height of folly to appoint people with divided loyalties to such sensitive posts [see my comments in my blog profile here: http://sakibahmad.blogspot.com/ ].

    After creating much mischief for the country they are supposed to be representing, these people suffering from the syndromes 'conflict of interest' and 'divided loyalties' (and that is putting it mildly!) feign innocence!

  2. The peace of mind of ANTI ISLAMIC/ANTI PAKISTAN COMMUNITY is already destroyed since the day Pakistan achieved the title of Nuclear Power. Plus they find it unable to digest their food seeing their agents known as POLITICAL FILTH trying to rule Pakistan very quickly becoming hateful creatures. The investment by this community is so far Zero or may be accounted for in minus if any new rule enforced by Pakistan Govt may legalise the forex accounts of the political filth to be confiscated by Pakistan Govt & brought back to Pakistan as none of the money belongs to the political filth. It is the investment of Anti Islamic/Anti Pakistan Community to destroy Pakistan in all fields of life. The same has been paid back a no of times by Pakistanis in the shape of fake inflation constantly being created here since the day political filth is being sold out. The Anti Pakistan Community fed up of all this has itself started revealing illegal deals of its political filth in their magazines thus making them more hateful.
