More articles on how the US has ignored / nurtured ISI, the rogue Pakistani intelligence agency.  So much that it has today gone out of control and has become the organiser and funds one of the world’s largest terrorist network.

Some good articles that nail the Pakistani lie

Pakistan’s Jihad – The Weekly Standard

Risk Factors – New Yorker

How to break a terrorist – Time

Interview with Rakesh Maria (Mumbai Joint Commissioner of Police) – Read all the 3 parts of the interview where he puts forth most of the evidence that indicates Pakistani Army/ISI involvement in the Mumbai attacks.  And also proof that all the terrorists involved in the Mumbai attack were Pakistani nationals.

Thats quite a lot to read over what i thought would have been a lazy weekend   Thanks to Prempanicker for collating all the links.  Follow Prem on his twitter link.

Vir Sanghvi makes a chilling comparison between the Joker (villain in the movie Batman) and the terrorists who attacked Mumbai last month.

Interesting read.  Read the full article here

So, the UN and Pak have declared Jamat ul Dawa a terrorist organisation and froze its assets and money.  While the morons in the UN were debating, the Paki government would have already taken out the money.  And Jamat-ul-Dawa would have renamed itself Jamai-ka-Dawa, Jumme-ka-Dawa or Jummerat Bazar or… let your mind go on a naming spree.

Asking the Pakis to clamp down on terror is like asking Gandhi to take up guns.  Terrorism is in the blood of Pakis.  They will never let go of any opportunity to foment trouble in the region or in the world.  Pakistan is today nothing but an international migraine (as per Madeline Albright).  So true.

The only respite for the world will come when Pak is squeezed economically and the Paki govt made to grovel on its knees.  Here are 12 easy to do steps on getting Pakistani economy on its knees.

A stable Pakistan is not in the interest of world peace, leave alone India. Army controls the country and owns its economy.

A significant portion of its GDP is due to army-controlled entities (See: Military Inc – Inside Pakistan’s Military Economy, by Ayesha Siddiqa; OUP; 2007). One can easily say that Pakistan economy and its Army/ISI are synonymous.

Unless this elementary fact is internalised, we are not going anywhere. This implies we should stop talking of a stable Pakistan since a stable Pakistan means multiple attacks on many more cities of India by that rogue organisation ISI, which is the core of the Pakistan Army and the heart of Pakistan’s economy.

Let us not even assume that Zardari is in control. Poor man — he did not trust his own investigators to probe his wife’s assassination — he wanted Scotland Yard to do the job. Now he blabbers that if his investigators are satisfied, then he will initiate action against terrorists sitting inside Pakistan.

Periodically, the Pakistan Army likes to present some useful idiots (as Lenin would have called them) as elected representatives and we swoon over such events.

As India cranks up the heat, pressure seems to be mounting on Pakistan in the past 72 hours trying to evade the multiple evidences and proof that Pakistan was responsible for the mayhem in Mumbai last week.  Meanwhile, Pakistan even tried to play a game of  hoax call from the external affairs minister of India, Pranab Mukherjee where he reportedly threatened Zardari.  All this just to deflect the pressure and try to play up other angles in a bid to wriggle out of the tight situation it is in. At the end, the call was found to be fake.  I wonder with the kind of communication systems the President of Pakistan uses, I can call up Zaradri tomorrow and say that i want to whip his ass and he might panic and set his armed forces on high alert.

Meanwhile, India has given the names of 3 people to Pakistan and asked them to be extradited.  Also has given Pakistan 48 hours to crack down on the Pakistani home grown terrorist organisation Lashkar-e-Toiba.  The 3 people asked to be extradited are

Lieutenant General Hamid Gul – Ex ISI chief

Yusuf Muzammil - Lashkar-e-Toiba mastermind

Zaki ur Rahman Lakhvi – Lashkar-e-Toiba commander (also known with the following names – Zakir Rehman, Abu Waheed, Irshad Ahmad and Arshad Chachajee)

The Pakistani media tried to put a lot of spin around the Mumbai attacks by trying to point out to some yellow thread around the terrorist’s hands and stuff, but finally in face of mounting evidence and of the testimony of the lone captured terrorist Ajmal Amir Kasab and his family in Pakistan, it seems time is running out for Pakistan.

No one is doubting Zardari and his government’s involvement in the Mumbai attack, but its a known fact that democratically elected government of Pakistan has no locus standi in their country.  The country is virtually ruled by the Pakistani army and their rogue intelligence agency ISI.  Maybe it was all done by the ISI and the Pakistani army without the kowledge of Zardari and his government.  Or maybe, even the plan was hatched and executed by some rogue element of the rogue Pakistani spy agency ISI.  Maybe the head of Pakistani Army and ISI had no inkling of what was happening, but the truth is that the Mumbai attacks were planned, trained, executed and guided by Pakistani nationals.

Zardari can cry hoarse at his innocence, and even if he will act against the  ISI or the Pakistani Army, he would be blown up in another car bomb attack just like his wife Benazir Bhutto was.   Benazir though was no innocent woman. She was responsible for cranking up the terrorism in Kashmir and gave a free hand to the Pakistani Army and their rogue intelligence agency, ISI to foment terrorism in Kashmir.  She ultimately paid for her deeds with her life.

Its precisely what Pakistan is facing today.  The frankenstein monster in the form of Taliban is hitting it from Afghanistan.  The home grown terrorists of Pakistan like Lashkar-e-Toiba, Jaish Mohammad etc are out of their hands.  They have created monsters on which they have no control.  Today Pakistan is like a headless chicken running around with nuclear weapons in its hands.  A perfect failed state with a rabid fundamentalist Islamic terror having taken root and spread its venom in the society.  Terrorists running amok.  Shia and Sunnis blowing each other up.  The Army and ISI behaving as a state within a state.  The PPP led government of Zardari has no say in the running of the country.

With a depleted FDI, no money in the bank for imports, Pakistan is a major headache not only for India, but for the whole world. Madeline Albright rightly called Pakistan a migraine for the whole world.

Its in such times that i envy countries like the US, Australia or the Europe for the kind of neighbours each one of them has.  Each one progressive, democratic, an army that stays in the barracks and not tries to govern, liberalism, freedom of speech, dynamic economies, people who are busy trying to make a better life for themselves and for others. And then look at the sub-continent.  We got nut cases in the form of Pakistan, Bangladesh who themselves have no future but find great happiness in troubling their neighbours.

Perfect example of the fact the Pakistani President, Asif Ali Zardari is not in charge in Pakistan and that the ISI/Army nexus is holding him hostage.

Zardari: The people who did it may be Pakistanis, but it is wrong to say Pakistan did it. We are as much victims as you are.

Zardari: We are not sure people from Pakistan were involved.

Zardari: We will send the ISI chief to India to cooperate with the investigation.

Zardari: We will not send the ISI chief to India.

Zardari: Give us the evidence and we will try these people in our courts.

Am not sure if Pakistan or for that matter any country has laws for people to be tried for crime committed in other countries.  If it was there, half of the Pakistan Army would be in jail.  Afterall, they make a living out of fomenting terror in the neighbourhood.
