We must address the issue to the satisfaction of the people of Pakistan and the world community. If we don't, the people of Pakistan will suffer. Politicians just enjoy their corruption, the Ministers their positions, Diplomats their perks, Government Officers their salaries. Who is going to do something and work and do justice to what they are being paid for. Our problem was Kashmir, not Afghanistan. If we are double crossing, it is not to our advantage. Why are we putting our neck for someone else who are never ever going to be grateful. Note and remember this when Nato leaves.

Sarkozi, Obama and Netanyahu the liar...

Sarkozy tells Obama Netanyahu is a "liar"

PARIS | Tue Nov 8, 2011 3:25pm EST

(Reuters) - French President Nicolas Sarkozy branded Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu "a liar" in a private conversation with U.S. President Barack Obama that was accidentally broadcast to journalists during last week's G20 summit in Cannes.

"I cannot bear Netanyahu, he's a liar," Sarkozy told Obama, unaware that the microphones in their meeting room had been switched on, enabling reporters in a separate location to listen in to a simultaneous translation.

"You're fed up with him, but I have to deal with him even more often than you," Obama replied, according to the French interpreter.

The technical gaffe is likely to cause great embarrassment to all three leaders as they look to work together to intensify international pressure onIran over its nuclear ambitions.

The conversation was not initially reported by the small group of journalists who overheard it because it was considered private and off-the-record. But the comments have since emerged on French websites and can be confirmed by Reuters.

White House press secretary Jay Carney declined to comment on the conversation when asked by reporters traveling with Obama to an event in Philadelphia.

Obama's apparent failure to defend Netanyahu is likely to be leapt on by his Republican foes, who are looking to unseat him in next year's presidential election and have portrayed him as hostile to Israel, Washington's closest ally in the region.

Pushing Netanyahu risks alienating Israel's strong base of support among the U.S. public and in Congress.

Netanyahu's office declined to comment, but one of his deputies, Vice Premier Silvan Shalom, played down the episode.

"Everyone talks about everyone. Sometimes even good friends say things about each other, certainly in such competitive professions," Shalom, a former foreign minister and rival of Netanyahu in the rightist Likud party, told Israel's Army Radio.

"So you have to consider the main things. Is Obama a friend of Israel? Is Sarkozy a friend of Israel? Is their policy a consistent policy of support for Israel? The answer to all of these questions is affirmative and, as far as I'm concerned, that is what's important."

PALESTINIAN WORRIES

Obama and Netanyahu have had a rocky relationship as U.S. efforts to broker a Middle East peace deal have foundered, with the U.S. president openly criticizing Jewish settlement building in the occupied Palestinian territories.

It was unclear why exactly Sarkozy had criticized Netanyahu. However, European diplomats have largely blamed Israel for the breakdown in peace talks and have expressed anger over Netanyahu's approval of large-scale settlement building.

During their bilateral meeting on November 3, on the sidelines of the Cannes summit, Obama criticized Sarkozy's surprise decision to vote in favor of a Palestinian request for membership of the U.N. cultural heritage agency UNESCO.

"I didn't appreciate your way of presenting things over the Palestinian membership of UNESCO. It weakened us. You should have consulted us, but that is now behind us," Obama was quoted as saying.

The October 31 UNESCO vote marked a success for the Palestinians in their broader thrust for recognition as a sovereign state in the U.N. system -- a unilateral initiative fiercely opposed by Israel and the United States.

As a result of the vote, Washington was compelled to halt its funding for UNESCO under a 1990s law that prohibits Washington from giving money to any U.N. body that grants membership to groups that do not have full, legal statehood.

Obama told Sarkozy that he was worried about the impact if Washington had to pull funding from other U.N. bodies such as the U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization and the IAEA nuclear watchdog if the Palestinians gained membership there.

"You have to pass the message along to the Palestinians that they must stop this immediately," Obama said.

The day the conversation took place, the Palestinians announced that they would not seek membership of any other U.N. agency.

Sarkozy confirmed that France would not take any unilateral decisions when the U.N. Security Council discusses a Palestinian membership request, a debate expected later this month.

"I am with you on that," Obama replied.

Osama Binladen Dead...

Khas kam jahan pak...
Obama addresses the world...
If he was in Pakistan he should have been captured by us. He would be at least alive today. This is another black spot on the performance of Pakistan. It is not good for Pakistan and US and European nations. We should have done it and claimed the credit at least.

We possibly could have caught him alive. We kept denying his existence in Pakistan. Now you see what is it worth at all in not catching him in time and alive. This is very bad for Pakistan that we did not do it when he was so close in the capital - in Abbotabad.

Now internationally Pakistan is on the backfoot again and on a slippery wicket you know what it does to you.

Obama visits India...

While Obama offers support for UN Security Council seat lectures India on human rights and responsibilities...
For those who can read between the lines, there was a lot to read. I am sure the Government of India did take notice of it. No wonder the hawks in the media are fuming with rage in India. Rest later.

Obama in Middle East...

He is probably the best US President that the Muslim World can have... Make the best of him!
But please do not think he is going to do exactly what you want and definitely not want the zealots or the religious parties may wish. Remember he is not elected on your votes. 

He will do what is best for America and cannot much change the policies to our total liking. But he shows so much of understanding and is one the best educated head of State we do think he will make a positive impact on the thinking in the Western and the Muslim World. He already commands great love, affection and respect, for what he stands for and is doing.

We must now show understanding and make the best of his presence. Particularly with respect to Pakistan he and the administration ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zF314o-ZtQ0 )are showing great support and all the time trying to help with more and more money. The way our media has gone beserk at the behest of religious parties by calling the fight against terrorists as some body else's war is very misleading and may drive our friends away from us.

Yes the Bush days were very bad but then look at the support our terrorists have supported little edcuated militant people of AlQaeda. Pakistan had to come in the line of fire and suffered. Now very sensibly let's get out of that vicious circle.

President Zardari and President Obama

Yesterday Obama had spoken, 
today Zardari... What a contrast?
The difference is obvious. I waited the whole day to listen to Zardari as no time was given when exactly he would speak. When he did the lights went out. So all the waiting was lost. Any ways I listened and discovered later.

When Obama spoke his was a landmark speech. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0aJ23skfVO0 Well thougt out, well planned and offered something substantial to all the parties. He spoke of development both for Pakistan and Afghanistan and talked at length of his plans to counter terrorism that would help not only US but Pakistan and the whole world. Here was a Harvardian speaking. Every word structured articulated, nothing loose.

When Zardari spoke he offered removal of Governors Rule. It was to go any way. That is nothing but a sop. We were hoping he would make some major announcements. We had thought he would remove 58-2B which he calls 52-8B. He can always go back and say he never offered to remove 58-2B. LOL. Well he made a committee for that and to repeal the 17th amendement. When you want to shelve an issue you make a committee and hand over is an old adage in Management.

For $1.5 Billion he says $1.5 Million. Sir it is billion and not million.  http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/7969450.stm Listen to it.

I wish Zardari had spoken of making some structural reforms. Instead he spoke for his own survival and some apple polishing of Nawaz Sharif after having discovered his power in Punjab. We need major reforms so that we tide over the problems of energy, industry and employment that would give a fillip to economy and remove poverty in the end. 

We wanted to hear from you that from today you have empowered the people of Pakistan by introducing land ceiling and freeing the rural suppressed people of Pakistan. You did not do that. We thought you would grant free land to major corporations of the world to come and  build factories there by giving jobs to our people and earning foreign exchange for us. We thought you would annonce a clamp down on all terrorist activities and utter lawlessness that prevails in the country. You did nothing President Saheb. Just blaming the past will do you nor us any good.

I wish you made a committee that would give you recommendations on how our people can usher in a new era of peace and prosperity. I will give you some ideas here.

What an offer! Pakistan can't have it better...

Healthy departure from Bush. Excellent. Hope it is fully implemented. The offer could have been better though...
We can't have it any better. What a departure from the stunted policy of the past. Obama took time but he did the right thing. He has fallen short on two things though. $1.5 billion is too little for a beleagured country like Pakistan and he has not come down heavily on extermism that is in fact fuelling the whole divisive and destructive movement.

In times like these can we have irresponsible media in Pakistan? A ryder must be added that people just wouldn't go on television and press and talk and write irresponsibly. They are muddling the thought process of the masses and even the half cooked intellectuals. They will never understand. For example the way Hameed Gul the ex-ISI Chief was commenting. He was not in sync with the days mood. 

If Obama does not insist Pakistan to eliminate even the remotest support to the extremists in words and deed, all that you gain on the ground could be lost in the hearts and minds. What could be better? You can't have a better US administration than this. Does Mr. Hameed Gul and the likes want Bush back? We don't. We have to make the best of it. Even if it is not like the McArthur offer for Japan, it is something to look forward to.
