The United States of America, having failed to get its undercover double murderer Raymond Davis
REAL FACE OF US
The United States of America, having failed to get its undercover double murderer Raymond Davis released unconditionally, has resorted to an arm-twisting of the Pakistani government by suspending the strategic dialogue process with Pakistan;
the tripartite parleys between Pakistan, Afghanistan and the US on the pretext of political changes in the country; and threatening aid cuts. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s refusal to meet her Pakistani counterpart at that time, Shah Mahmood Qureshi, because he refused to endorse Davis’ diplomatic immunity, has raised him in stature but thoroughly exposed the hypocrisy of the Pakistani rulers, who withdrew him as Foreign Minister and unleashed their cronies on the Makhdoom, who had taken a principled and resolute stand, only hurting their own credibility.
Maria Sultan, a top Pakistani Defence Analyst, Riaz Khokhar an outspoken former Secretary Foreign Affairs, and many prominent journalists like Salim Bokhari to name a few, have unequivocally condemned the brazen act of murder by the American spy, and rejected the US demand of his immunity on the pretext of being a diplomat, which he is not. As the diplomatic community in Pakistan disapproves the American stance, Mr Khokhar without mincing his words has called for the cancellation and review of all visas granted to the US personnel in the last few years.
Pressure of all kinds, diplomatic and otherwise, is clearly being brought upon Pakistan not merely to get a US operative released, but to cover up its covert operations now threatened to be exposed. But the more it happens, it would strengthen the common belief that the professed American strategic relations with its non-NATO ally, i.e. Pakistan, have been and are no more than a smokescreen. Davis is not just a killer, but a part of the network operating in Pakistan this scribe has long been hinting at.
M.K. Bhadrakumar in his article published in the Asia Times, has capsuled my gut feeling and I quote: “The heart of the matter is that Pakistan has been wondering for a long time who it is who could be instigating the so-called ‘Pakistani Taliban’ to inflict such bloody wounds on the Pakistani military and weaken and incrementally destabilise the Pakistani state.” The blindfolded pro-West elements in Pakistan refusing to see through the imperial game need to read this account titled US and Pakistan square off.
The surfacing of a sleuth-like Raymond Davis in our midst only goes to strengthen the considered public view that Pakistan, courtesy our spineless rulers, is profusely infested with enemy agents, who have been facilitated to wreak havoc across the country; and pray! Do not discount the significance of the third attack on the Punjab Regimental Centre - a symbol of Pakistan’s Defence - and its timing, as an isolated coincidence. This also raises a question mark on our preparedness against espionage and infiltration, as we practically face an undeclared war in which the threat is not so much from the much trumpeted religious extremists, but the troika of enemy agents who need to be effectively tailed.
