Really? And did these people find any connection between the lawyers and the CIA?
Nothing can happen in Pakistan without Uncle's nod.
Always follow the money. How are lawyers supporting themselves since 9 march 2007?
Name some names and give some evidence or proof that links the CIA to the lawyers. Who was on the payroll, how did they start the "lawyer's movement" and why would a bunch of lawyers walking the streets have infinitely more effect on deposing Mushy than people like Hamid Gul.
That Aitezaz Ahsan's upto no good.
Remember "I'm retiring, no I'm not retiring" fiasco?
Or are you going to now claim that Hamid Gul(who was against Mushy firing judges) is a CIA agent while Mushy is a pakistani superhero battling against Washington and Langley?
Hamid Gul's just the old Taliban variety partner from the times when Mullahs were good in CIA books.
You don't know who Ahmed Qureshi is?
I know.
I got the name of the show wrong. The correct name of the show is "World View" and it was on PTV. It was on this show that Ahmed Qureshi introduced Zaid Hamid to millions of viewers as a neutral security analyst. While Zaid Hamid does a good job of appearing neutral to the casual observer, things look a bit different if you examine his words more carefully. Here he is as a guest on his first major TV appearance:
1:30 Zaid Hamid starts out by saying there is a sinister aspect behind the US weakening Mushy and replacing him with Benazir. Then he lists some demands made by the US which Mushy is supposedly not meeting because he is "resisting" America like a patriotic general.
Yeah so that's a good argument.
Mushy defying the US isn't a good argument for Mush not being a total lackey?
2:37 Zaid Hamid says Mushy did not recognize Israel
And he didn't, he dangled it, came really close to it. No harm in recognizing Israel btw. But Mushy tried to milk the situation as much as he could.
2:40 Ahmed Qureshi pretends to critique Musharaf and says "but President Musharraff did actually allow his foreign minister to shake hands with the Israeli foreign minister". Zaid Hamid responds with "Cosmetics, in reality Israel was never allowed access into Pakistan. Pakistan never recognised them despite the fact they are so desparate to have access into this area".
Again, not the end of the world!
Israel wanted to look good. Unilateral offer. And plus c'mon that article seems to have been written with the intent to defame Mush. "Help is friend, put pressure on the coalition government"... Uff, As if its not Mush but the Messiah that would lead the Jews to the Promised land.
3:40 Ahmed Qureshi now asks the great security analyst Zaid Hamid for his opinion and stamp of approval as to whether Mushy is resisting Washington in contradiction to what most people in Pakistan are saying. Zaid now pretends to be neutral and babbles nonsense for a few seconds trying to appear as if he is not as big a chamcha of Mushy as Ahmed Qureshi is.
Right non-sense... Great argument.
5:40 Ahmed Qureshi suggest his hero Mushy has "thrown cold water" on Washington's plans and looks at Zaid Hamid for a stamp of approval and Zaid gives his stamp of approval "this is exactly what he has done".
You're again arguing for Mush... If it's true, its true.
4:14 Ahmed Qureshi starts to play devil's advocate(from the point of view of a Mushy fan) and asks hey is it true that the Swat problem is a result of Pakistan's(read Mushy's) "Afghan policy" meaning where the PA started attacking and killing Pashtuns after 9/2001. Ahmed Qureshi now asks Zaid Hamid for his expert opinion.
4:30 Zaid Hamid says nonsense! Zaid Hamid then claims that the Swat problem started in 1996, once again totally taking the blame away from Mushy!
You do remember that around the Mid-90s we totally rooted for Taliban's resurgence... That didn't have any impact on the level of militancy we have in our country? No Mush did it all, out of the blue! Right?
5:40 Zaid Hamid blames the latest flareup in Swat on supreme court judges who released militants! Once again taking the spotlight away from Mushy's crazy US-endorsed policy of attacking civilians in NWFP.
Yeah Civilians ready to blow themselves up! Klashankof Yaaaah, grenades yaaaaah. People who kill, get killed by the cops.
Mushy did relent to allowing the US to station secret predetor bases on Pak soil. He also forgot to tell the rest of Pakistan about his little secret.
'Secret bases'. Nice so you don't need to provide any real evidence because they are secret.
See if I were a seasoned security analyst with a huge budget then that would be one of the topics I would cover thoroughly. This is something that would educate everyone, on exactly how foreign powers take over and puppetteer client states by cultivating agents. Why does he never touch it when he should know how this happens and how it is done?
Right and you don't see any particular agent in Zardari, despite his corruption, despite him murdering Benazir, despite backing off after US bombed Pakistani soldiers, despite him allowing US soldiers in to kill men, women and children on Pak soil, despite the fact that the Judges are still not coming back, despite the fact that our economy is downhill, despite the fact bombings are a weekly feature, despite the fact that our leaders are taking orders from UAE, Saudi, US... Let's just keep blaming Mush!
