General Musharraf on the Daily Show in the USA

Good interview:

Untold stories of Pakistan & Musharraf

The real stories behind historical events are usually found out many years later. Many in pakistan have criticised Musharaff and his alignment with the USA... but now he tells his story, in his book, "In the Line of Fire"... read some of the excerpts on The Times of London website :

'America paid us to hand over al-Qaeda suspects' - World - Times Online

PRESIDENT Musharraf of Pakistan says that the CIA has secretly paid his government millions of dollars for handing over hundreds of al-Qaeda suspects to America.

I took a ruthless decision for the sake of my people - World - Times Online

SEPTEMBER 11, 2001, was an uneventful day in Pakistan, at least while the sun was high. That evening I was in Karachi, inspecting work at the beautiful gardens of the mausoleum of our founder Quaide-Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah. I was happy to be in the city I

All hell broke loose. It went dark - World - Times Online

THE events of December 2003 put me in the front line of the war on terror and are part of my reason for writing this book now, while I am still fighting. On December 14, I landed from Karachi at Chaklala Air Force Base, about 2.5 miles from Army House

it's a bit of an eye opener......

USA carries out terrorism itself...

A BBC News articles details the threats made to Pakistan, if they did not help the USA. This in effect shows the USA itself making use of terrorism... bunch of f*@&%ing hypocrites !! read on for more... a bit more detail in the times..

The real 9/11 conspiracies ?

Interesting article in the Times today talking about what conspiracies about 9/11 are doing the rounds.. quotes of note are:

The American death toll in the war will soon exceed the death toll in the original attack; and for the Iraqi people that figure is exceeded every three weeks.

and also:

Asked in a recent survey to explain their presence in Iraq, 85 per cent of American soldiers said that the “main mission” was “to retaliate for Saddam’s role” in the September 11 attacks.

The sheer stupidity of americans !!!!! LMAO !

A prelude to an attack onm Iran ?

The Israel invasion on Lebanon, is this a prelude to an attack on Iran by the USA ?

USA Complicit with Israel..

A very good article by George Monbiot, summarising the close relationship and complicity between the USA and Israel... or you can read it on his own site.

Israel itself is founded on terrorism.....

It is not very well known, but the state of Israel was founded from terrorism. Not many people know this. One example is the story of how the Israelis bombed the british.. Go through history and you will find many other examples.. The following sayings come to mind:

one mans freedom fighter is another mans terrorist

all men are created equal but some are more equall than others

These are the double standards of the west... Blair and Bush (B&B) talk the talk, but only when it does not apply to them...

The Arab nations are just as much to blame. If they turn off the taps to the oil supply, then I bet we will have a very quick resolution to the Middle East problems !!!

...

Brainwash the kids with hatred ?

shocking picture.. you would think that at least after the 2nd world war, there would be some morality on how to bring up the kids ....

Double standards of US Policy .

This "The Indpendent" Article sums it all up. It describes the double standards of the USA .. to quote:

...George Bush used his presidential veto to block a bill on stem cell research, saying he couldn't support the 'taking of innocent human life'. In Iraq, six civilians are killed by a US air strike, while casualties in Lebanon and Israel mount. George Bush (and Tony Blair) oppose UN calls for an immediate ceasefire....

Sorry state of affairs in Iraq

reading this news item, make sme sad for the people of Iraq : http://news.independent.co.uk/world/middle_east/article347806.ece

muslim in-fighting.. but thats been the problem with muslims down the ages... no unity..

maybe this is reason enough to accept, that some countries cannot survive/develop in a democracy..

in the past, the west has , tacitly accepted this among the african nations...

dunn, but this will only prolong the Iraqi occupation and the real losers are the Men, Women and children on the street...
