New Recruit
Getting up to take leave, he handed over a folder to President Obama and told him that the folder contained his analysis of where and why US policy in Afghanistan was in error and why the Pakistan army would not be able to meet American demands.
According to media reports, Mr. Obama was completely taken aback (shocked, would have been my choice of adjectives), but he assured General Kayani that this document would receive his personal and most serious attention.
Had the Pentagon shared this information with GHQ, Pakistani troops could have arrived while the operation was in progress and GHQ (General Kayani/ISI) would not have been as embarrassed as it was. But, if the purpose was to ensure maximum embarrassment, it succeeded beyond US imagination.
i can vouch for this.He has expressed his sense of personal betrayal
Just because the 'salve' dared to question the 'master'?Xeric: Was not the embarrassment deserved?
Just because the 'salve' dared to question the 'master'?
BTW, aren't you one of those champions of sovereignty?
This is not a question of sovereignty:
The military leadership either need to explain either their treasonous collusion to the world or criminal incompetence to the nation.
Whatever they are guilty of from these two options must draw the necessary and inevitable corrective action and deservedly so, don't you agree?
ISLAMABAD: The military`s public affairs wing denied on Monday that Chief of Army Staff Gen Ashfaq Parvez Kayani had suggested that the country had been mortgaged to the US.
The entire statement is fabricated with malicious intent. COAS Gen Ashfaq Parvez Kayani never said that Pakistan had mortgaged itself to the US, Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) Director General Maj-Gen Athar Abbas said while commenting on a New York Times report.
The NYT, in a June 15 report titled `Pakistan`s chief of army fights to keep his job`, had claimed on the basis of notes of a participant of a session at the National Defence University addressed by Gen Kayani that the army chief had acknowledged that the country had mortgaged itself to the US. The participant was not identified in the news report.
In making the analogy to Pakistan as a mortgaged house, Gen Kayani said that if a person gave his house against a loan and was unable to pay back the loan, the mortgage holder would intervene, the report said.
It went on to quote Gen Kayani as having said: We are helpless Can we fight America?
After the May 2 US raid in Abbottabad, Gen Kayani held a number of town-hall style meetings with army officers in garrisons, trying to allay their concerns about the country`s alliance with the United States in the fight against militancy. His address at the NDU was the last of such meetings.
There has been a flurry of reports in US media casting the military in a negative light by questioning its sincerity in the fight against militancy. The NYT story, which sought to project Gen Kayani as a weakened commander struggling to keep control over his ranks, is seen by ISPR as a continuation of the campaign against the army.
Kayani`s statement fabricated, says ISPR | Pakistan | DAWN.COM
I think Washington want's General Kayani and General Pasha to go.This propaganda is similar the propaganda about Musharraf which was all over US media during late 2007/2008 as Bush wanted Regime change.
Kayani to consult ex-generalsISLAMABAD: Chief of Army Staff Gen Ashfaq Parvez Kayani will meet retired generals and ex-servicemen on Friday (June 24) to discus the prevailing situation in the backdrop of Abbottabad Operation and PNS Mehran Base Attack and the role of the armed forces.
Former DG Inter Services Intelligence Gen (R) Hameed Gul confirmed to The News that many ex-servicemen, including him, had been invited to attend a meeting with the COAS on June 24 When asked about the agenda of the meeting, he said that it would be better, if all the experienced people sat down and discussed the situation of the country.
He said that consultation with the ex-servicemen would help the Pakistan Army get out of current crisis and overcome the shortcomings. Hameed Gul said that his doctor had advised him complete rest, therefore, he had come to Murree and would not attend the meeting.
However, a few ex-servicemen think that Gen Kayani wants to get the support of retired officers because just a few weeks ago a forum of retired officers, Thinkers Forum Pakistan, had demanded that all the “responsible persons” of the Abbottabad Operation and PNS Mehran Base Attack should go on leave till the completion of independent inquiry and the role of ISI should be replaced by the Intelligence Bureau under civilian control.
The think-tank had also demanded fresh election in the country, saying giving two more years to present political set-up would further deteriorate the situation.
I am a victim of free speech suppression on this forum.
Anyway, I wonder what will happen to aid that US gives when Obama pulls the troops out? I mean they are planning on complete troop out by 2014, which is not far. Then America won't given any aid....no more P3 Orions or f-16s. What will the army do then?
BTW Obama's troop pullout plan is due by Wednesday. Watch out.
