David Miliband calls the Prime Minister a 'loudmouth'

[Dance]

David Miliband has criticised Prime Minister David Cameron, accusing him of being a ''loudmouth'' over his remarks about Pakistan's record on terrorism.

The former Foreign Secretary was speaking as the row continued over comments Mr Cameron made during his trip to India.
Mr Miliband said there was a ''big difference between straight talking and being a loudmouth'' as he claimed Mr Cameron had been ''going off script'' in recent public statements.

The Labour leadership contender said everyone had ''two ears and one mouth'' and it was important to use them ''in that proportion'' when it came to foreign policy.
Mr Cameron caused anger in Islamabad when he warned that Pakistan should not be allowed ''to promote the export of terror'' in the world.
But the Prime Minister denied his comments had overshadowed his trip and maintained that he had good relations with Pakistan, whose president will be visiting him at his country retreat, Chequers, next week.
''I don't think it's overshadowed anything,'' he said. ''I think it's important to speak frankly and clearly about these issues. I have always done that in the past and will do so in the future.''
But he did not repeat the phrase in a series of broadcast interviews, but stressed that he was talking about ''people within Pakistan'' who are responsible for terror rather than the country's government.
Mr Miliband accused Mr Cameron of only ''telling half the story'', pointing out that thousands of innocent civilians in Pakistan had been killed by terrorism.
Put to him that it was ''pretty strong'' to accuse the Prime Minister of being a loudmouth he said: ''Well, I think there is a big difference between straight-talking and being a loudmouth.
He told BBC Radio 4's The World At One: ''It is very, very important that the Prime Minister, who in three unscripted appearances at press conferences has gone off script and has said, as I say, in the Pakistan case half the story, understands that we have got two ears and one mouth and it is very important to use them in that proportion.''

[scrumpy]

I can understand the anger felt by my Pakistani friends on what was said by Cameron so I'll refrain from commenting on that and will stick to only pointing out Miliband's hypocrisy by pasting a comment from the Telegraph by a reader David Moss who puts it quiet well.

Mr Cameron may or may not be a loudmouth.

David Miliband certainly is:

• What else could explain this headline in the Daily Mail [1]: 'We would be better off with Cameron': Union chief brands Miliband a 'smug and arrogant s***'? That was Derek Simpson's view.

• What else could explain this headline in the Daily Mail [2]: 'Who the f*** are you to lecture me?': Russian minister's extraordinary rant at David Miliband? That was Sergei Lavrov's view.

• What else could explain this comment in the Daily Telegraph [3]: Why did he think it was tactful or clever to deliver a speech declaring there was no such thing "as the war on terror" in the Taj Hotel in Mumbai where dozens of innocent people were killed in a hail of machine gun bullets by terrorists? Lashkar-e-Taiba, the group linked with the murderous attack, welcomed our Foreign Secretary's "positive comments!" ... ?

• Or this one [4]: There is a rather significant impediment at the Foreign Office – the Foreign Secretary. Americans who have dealt with David Miliband confirm what many British journalists have long known. The Foreign Secretary is arrogant, given to lecturing veteran American diplomats on policies and regions of which he has only the most superficial knowledge?

Loudmouth? The accusation is a bit rich coming from David Miliband [5].

You're going off topic, I don't care about British politics and I don't know or care if Miliband is a loudmouth or not. But at least he's brave enough to call out his prime minister when he makes stupid remarks just to get indian money and deals

 

[scrumpy]

You are using an article which quotes David Miliband. In that context, it is correct to point out that David Miliband is not in a position to give such a judgement. Especially since he is a front runner for the leader of opposition post and his main job will be to criticise David Cameron.

 

[Neither Right Nor Wrong]

Looks like Mr Milliband is engaging in some Political point scoring over his counterpart.

He had his own set of similar views..last time he visited ND.


David Miliband: Pakistan must tackle Mumbai terrorists

He said that Pakistan's first priority must be to bring those responsible for the attacks, in which more than 170 were killed by well-trained commando-style gunmen, to justice.
Speaking during a visit to New Delhi, he also urged the Pakistani people to give their government and its anti-terrorist efforts their full support.


Mr Miliband said Pakistan had a history of arresting terrorist suspects only to release them later. Following a series of terrorist attacks in India in the last year, culminating in the Mumbai attacks, it was time for Pakistan to bring the perpetrators before a criminal court, he said.
His comments intensified pressure on the Pakistan government which has recently stated it would not extradite suspects to India, and only reluctantly admitted one of its nationals had taken part in the attacks.
They followed Gordon Brown's comments during his visit to Islamabad last month that 75 per cent of UK terrorist plots originate from Pakistan, and made clear that Britain believes Pakistan has not yet done nearly enough to challenge its terrorist networks.
Mr Miliband said he did not believe any Pakistani state bodies had played a role in the Mumbai attacks - which are believed to have been carried out by members of the pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) group - and that he was convinced that President Asif Zardari was sincere in his commitment to fight terrorism.
But he said the terrorists had to be fought by every level of state machinery and with the support of the Pakistani people themselves.
"Zardari is sincere when he says he wants to tackle the scourge of terrorism ... [But] it's vital that the whole of the state machine and population support that. It's not someone else's war."
His speech contrasted the "moderation and wisdom" of India's restraint since the attacks with Pakistan's history of token arrests followed by later releases of terrorist suspects.
"I don't think unreasonable demands are being made. The moderation and wisdom of India's response, refusing to cave in to actions to make the situation worse, has set the right example. It's important that Pakistan repays that in an agenda for criminal justice [which is] in the interests of Pakistan as well as India," he said.
"The responsibility of the Pakistan state is to bring the perpetrators to justice. There's a history of people being arrested and not brought to justice. It is essential to bring them to justice," he said.
He said Britain had shown the way with a series of successful prosecutions of terrorists, but Pakistan's own future depended on it waging a political, economic, military and judicial war on terrorist organisations at every level.
"The fundamental issue is how the state takes on that terrorist organisation, to take it on politically in a very frontal way," he said.
Significantly, his view that the Pakistan state itself had no part in the attacks was supported by India's foreign secretary Pranab Mukherjee, less than a week after his prime minister, Manmohan Singh, said he did not believe the highly trained gunmen who carried out the Mumbai attacks could not have organised such a well-planned strike without the support of state security agencies. It appeared to herald a calmer phase in India's campaign to bring the terrorist masters behind the attacks before the courts.
Mr Miliband said the al-Qaeda-linked LeT was behind the killings: "It's clear where responsibility lies, with LeT, and clear that Pakistan, the whole of the state apparatus has a fundamental responsibility to tackle the roots of this organisation and develop new strategies for doing so.
"The main threat to Pakistan is the terrorism which claimed the life of Benazir Bhutto. The difficult thing of counter-insurgency is to put it into practice and that's what they need to do and they will have our full support in doing so," he said.
