The outgoing US ambassador to Pakistan needs to be congratulated for one thing: she did an excellent job of meddling in Pakistani media and politics. She is credited with organizing a pro-US cabal inside Pakistan that springs into action whenever the US is criticized in Pakistani media. Ironically, this cabal, which consists of Pakistanis, never shows equal passion when the US officials and media demonize Pakistan worldwide.
Ms. Patterson has not been working alone. She received full support from the ruling PPPP's media managers. That is why I am mentioning Pakistan's own wunderkid: Ambassador Husain Haqqani who is said by sources in his won party to be responsible for organizing PPPP's media plans while sitting in Washington DC.
Today the pro-US Zardari-Haqqani cabal in Pakistan [read: PPPP Media Cell] are seething with anger that I criticized Nobel's cheap shot against China. A version of my op-ed, titled, A 'Nobel' Mob Ambush, Chicago Style, was published by the blog section of the Pakistani affiliate of International Herald Tribune. The comments section makes for an interesting read.
They are livid that I linked Nobel's China swipe to the unusual wave of anti-China political ads during the current mid-term election campaign in the US. I explained how the Indian lobby in the US is contributing to the 'Blame China' campaign to divert attention from US public's anger at outsourcing jobs to India.
So guess what? The pro-US Zardari-Haqqani cabal teams up with Indian net surfers to bash China on this excellent Pakistani website.
But no one should worry: Their comments and arguments don't even begin to scratch the surface. The best answer to their ramblings cames from Mr. Ghias Ahmed whose half-line was both pithy and shrewd:
"2012 Nobel Prize will be paid in Chinese Yuan...".
SOONER OR LATER AMERICANS HAVE TO LAND INTO CHINA BUT THEY COULDNT LAND POSITIVELY BUT FOTUNATELY OR UNFORTUNATELY THEY LANDED NAGITIVELY MAKING EVERY THING MORE HARDER FOR THEM SELVES. AN OTHR BLOW TO AMERICANS THAT WILL TAKE THEM AN OTHER STEP DOWN WORD. EVERY STEP TAKEN BY AMERICANA IS GOING AGAINST THEM .THEY HAVE NOT UNDERSTOOD THE CAUSE OF IT OR AUROGANTLY DOING THIS TO THE WORLD .
