Hussain Haqqani indulged in activities that hurt Pakistan: Nafees Zikariya

.
If Husain Haqqani caused such damage why hasn't Pakistan extradited him yet from US? Even Pakistan's Supreme Court ordered the government to bring him back for Memogate, but it has yet do so. Or does Pakistan just like to keep twisting him in the wind, to use him as a scapegoat? Need to move on.

Issue an Interpol red warrant, like this.

its not that easy bro. He was a senior diplomat and he was working for some very influential people in influential positions in Washington. Plus he has a very strong support base among so called 'intellectuals" who see Pakistan as a threat and India as a friend. Haqqani speaks their language. He does their barkings for them

Well Pakistan needs to draw a line, as to who their friends are. Besides isn't he wanted for skipping bail in the memogate case?

No extradition treaty with USA.

Hussain Haqqani is a worshipper of rising sun.. The cunt has changed more political parties and turned against em than a whore...
He was a student leader for Jamat e islami .. Than PPP and than turned against them.. Rejoined PPP and got the seat of diplomat .. And now he's spits venom some audiences in USA/Washington like to hear..

Even prominent US academics label him as an Islamic radical turn into an Amerophile.

The Magnificent Delusions of Husain Haqqani

From day one, Mr Haqqani has been Team Charhta Suraj: a hired hand for the biggest boys on the playground
By ASAD RAHIM KHAN

George Orwell’s Animal Farm is a simple story: the animals rise up against their human masters, take over the farm, and cry liberation. But some beasts are bolder than others: slowly but surely, a new tyranny emerges under the pigs.

And in Animal Farm — a satire of the Soviet nightmare — we find Squealer the pig, a mouthpiece for leader (and fellow swine) Napoleon.

Squealer has “twinkling eyes” and “nimble movements”. He’s “a brilliant talker, and when he was arguing some difficult point, he would skip side to side … the others said of Squealer he could turn black into white.” Yes, Squealer’s spin is vital to the porkers’ takeover.

None of this, of course, is to draw a comparison to the esteemed Mr Husain Haqqani — after all, Squealer remained loyal to the pigs throughout. But the former ambassador’s scruples are his greatest strength: a selective amnesia that’s spun him 180 degrees; from a student at KU, to a wise man on world affairs at Boston University today.

Which is why the man from the IJT now sounds like he’s joining the BJP (stand warned Sanghis, he’ll break your saffron hearts too). In his latest media blitz last week, Mr Haqqani advised Pakistan to stop “constantly competing” with India — while addressing India over NDTV. Surely Bharat agrees already?

And earlier this month, it was again to the Press Trust of India Mr Haqqani spoke: that Pakistan had lost international support on Kashmir. Might we spot a pattern?

No, not that pattern. Whatever Mr Haqqani’s critics say, he’s not trying for the Padma Bhushan. Turning chameleon again, the gentleman switched from Krishna Menon to John Bolton last April: “[…] American weapons will end up being used to fight or menace India and perceived domestic enemies,” Mr Haqqani wrote for the WSJ, “instead of being deployed against jihadists.” The op-ed was titled, “Why Are We Sending This Attack Helicopter to Pakistan?”

To which Pakistan may have asked, who’s ‘we’? Of late, Pakistan’s former ambassador to the US has become the US’s ambassador to Pakistan — if that ambassador were a nagging neocon with an axe to grind.

But to understand Brand HH and why he’s giving the republic a kicking, we need to go back. From day one, Mr Haqqani has been Team Charhta Suraj: a hired hand for the biggest boys on the playground. At KU, those were quite literally the Jamiat.

Outside campus “I also developed a personal bond with [General Zia],” wrote Mr Haqqani. “General Zia was staunchly pro-Western, but had an Islamic vision of sorts that could be captivating. He saw himself as God’s instrument in getting rid of the communists in Afghanistan, which (he correctly foresaw) would mark the disintegration of the Soviet Union.” This paper’s Aakar Patel even suspected HH ghostwrote Mr Sharif’s tribute to General Zia in Shaheed-ul-Islam. Having lent himself to both general and Jamiat, it only followed that Mr Haqqani would fall in love with Nawaz Sharif and the IJI.

But that’s when the mud starts piling up. As the late, great Cowasjee sahib put it, “During Nawaz-I and Benazir-II the most prominent weaver [of lies] and damage-doer was Husain Haqqani.”

The IJI hit where it hurts: from airdropping pamphlets of Begum Bhutto waltzing with Jerry Ford, to forging Benazir’s ‘letter’ to Peter Galbraith calling for American action. But the right’s resident Squealer was implicated more than once. “He came up with the nickname ‘Mr 10 Percent’ for my father,” the PPP’s current chairman told Charlie Rose in 2012. “… Since then, [he’s] made a shift towards a belief in a democratic Pakistan.”

As to why belief in democracy was contrary to mocking Asif Ali Zardari, the chairman didn’t say. Nor did his predecessor: Shaheed Mohtarma took Mr Haqqani back in, a liberal reborn.

Enter Squealer 4.0: like a football forward constantly trading up teams, Mr Haqqani hit the jackpot —Ambassadorship in 2008, courtesy President Zardari’s sense of humour. Embraced by America’s red-meat right, The Atlantic’sJeffrey Goldberg saluted the ambassador with a straight face: “A one-time Islamist turned pro-democracy Americaphile.”

The Iraq war’s leading cheerleader, Goldberg enjoys betting on the wrong horse. He even thought the Raymond Davis murders were Mr Haqqani’s “finest moment”. “Haqqani helped engineer an elegant solution,” gushed Goldberg. “He turned to … Muslim family law which allowed the dead men’s families to be compensated with blood money. This is the ploy that sprang Raymond Davis from jail.”

A ploy flawed in law: were the fisad fil-arz test applied, a thug like Davis would never be let off. But who cares? All hail His Excellency for busting out a foreign national who murdered two of our own — a diplomatic first.

Yet it was too good to last. Like a fortune teller, Cowasjee had diagnosed the delusion in ’99: “[Haqqani] considers himself capable, with the necessary help, of climbing up the greasy pole and leading the 140 millions to glory.”

After the Osama raid, the ambassador overshot; he may have thought the ‘necessary help’ would be American intervention, that it would fix the civ-mil imbalance (if with a new imbalance in favour of American civilians). Reads the memo to Mike Mullen, “Should you be willing to do so, Washington’s political/military backing would result in a revamp of the civilian government that … replaces … national security officials with trusted advisers … favourably viewed by Washington.”

His Excellency denies involvement.

Mr Haqqani now occupies that rarest of spaces in American public life: an exile with an agenda. Other worthies include Iraq’s Chalabi and Iran’s Pahlavi Junior — gents the Department of Defence blows hot and cold on, given the season.

But like all spin gurus, the man’s solutions aren’t solid: they range from the West putting Islamabad in its place, to Pakistan preferably castrating itself first. A recent book, Magnificent Delusions, is a study in our ingratitude (even the front cover is a Stars-and-Stripes bonfire).

The trouble is, Husain Haqqani isn’t representative of Pakistan; he’s not even representative of Husain Haqqani five years ago. Pakistan too has moved on: the war has been taken to the militants, at tremendous risk. Confidence is up and terror is low, but it’s a long road ahead. It’s time HH move on as well, if in the direction of the next rising sun (the Chinese Communist Party, perhaps?).

On another, lighter note, Mr Haqqani is famed for tweeting poetry on weekends. A gentleman of wide learning, it’s hoped His ex-Excellency stumbled across Aziz Nazan:

Ghaflat ki neend mai sonay walay dhoka khayega/Chadhta suraj dheeray dheeray dhalta hai, dhal jayega.








To issue an Interpol red warrant you don't need an extradition treaty.

Memogate scandal will open a Pandora's box ... And since PPP and PML N have a pact to support each others behinds ... None of em is going to open it.

I don't know about other monarchies, but as far as UAE is concerned, zero issues. I'd rather have them, than democrazy.

Housing, Healthcare, Education, Social Welfare, Law & Order, MashAllah are well taken care of, like they should be.

Because your nations are blessed with vast and previous natural resources .. Black gold.

Whatever we have is either untapped or victim of illegal mining and so on...

Your monarchies make stricter rulers to secure their power yet take care of their citizens financially,socially.

We have freedom yet it is useless... We don't have democracy in the real sense.. Rather democrazy...

Honestly akhee... I'd rather have an effective socialist govt (similiar to Chinese model) at the helm than a pathetic democrazy.

What good is democrazy when your rights are violated 24:7 ? The name tag ?
