The Puppet Speaks

Ather miaN, you don't get it. It is not the fact that Karzai is saying what he is saying - but the fact that he has full US support in saying whatever he is saying.

As far as Pakistani "sovereignity" is concerned....

It is a nice idea!

But, like ghareeb ki bibi ki izzat - it is highly elusive!

And when everything is said and done - Pakistan is a small country and it is perhaps time for it to get used to being a small country.

Of course, it can still claim to be the potential leader of the ummah - but perhaps it should start talking to those other ummah-wallas, especially the Arabs, about that. Perhaps in recognition of that potential, they will give Pakistan a small discount on oil price. Hey, every little bit helps!

Re: # 1 Read the whole article yar! Even the title says it all -- that Karzai has full US support!!!

Re: # 4 See the picture in a broader context!!!

Ather Ather Ather....admit it...you're just lashing out at the loss of paki honor and dignity after NATO shoved a danda up paki mohammeds...

this is nothing but impotent rage from people whose own president is kept alive by american support and american techonology....

Behind the scenes, Pakistani bureaucrats and intelligence agencies are playing a marvelous game. On one hand they have been successful in making these yahoo-americans believe that Pakistan is fighting a real battle against the Talibans, and on the other hand they have given ample room for the Talibs to re-organize themselves to fight a long, hard battle that will result in America being chastened and all of (poor, land-locked) Afghanistan eventually dependant on Pakistan for it's every need. If Pakistan stops wheat shipment for a week, Afghanis in Kabul are asking for Karzai's head. Pakistan has got American, European, Indian and Afghani balls in it's hands and with one gentle squeeze, it can make sweet music.

pakistan is a s much a US puppet as Afghanistan's Karzai.The army is dog catcher of USA and so are the politicians.After all who told mush to do the NRO .Pakistan has been doing business in name of Afghanistan as dog catcher of USA since 1979.That is the hard fact.Frankly what is the difference between karzai and gillani or musharraf ? Nil ! They are the same breed who can stand any amount of kicking .All are playing double games and its all about money .

Re: # 9 ye! there is some truth in that!!!

Re: # 9 Nevertheless, Karzai is a puppet by any definition!

There is so much talk about the cause of paki jihadism, it is due to iraq, due to afghanistan blah blah and has nothing to do with the religious notion of jihad.

hello...why did the muslims do the 9/11. That preceded the iraq and afghnaistan.

Simple, jihad is about killing off the infidels...it is a religious mandate and teh muslims are driven by it with no regard to teh feasibility of doing it..simple.

One can only laugh at this. Pakis who had a puppet ruling them for 9 years (and every single ruler before him was a puppet too) are calling Karzai a puppet.

Harishbhai,

Our PM is a puppet too.

Regards

It seems to be a game of puppets! Isn't it?

Of course Majumdar bhai, which is why it is important to accept when you're in the wrong. Instead the dude goes on to berate Karzai when his own President is a US stooge.
