POPSPakistan President: CIA and ISI Created Taliban The truth is a stubborn thing. They also created Al Qaeda (the "database") for Afghan Resistance to fight the Soviets, which included Osama bin Laden as their key contact point . But then Saddam Hussein was also a CIA asset and puppet dictator, until he got a mind of his own. Oh, and the U.S. also supplied Iran with nuclear technology along time ago. So much can be said, but these facts say enough. Taliban did not attack America on 9/11, and there is absolutely no hard evidence of such (or even of bin Laden, says the FBI). Ever since the U.S. began to fight them (for an oil passage to the Caspian Sea from Pakistan), they began to fight in self defense. This destroys the myth and pretext for a continuous war on terrorism in the Afghan-Paki region that says that the Taliban are a "threat to the U.S.", which is baloney, but great propaganda.

POPSAccused Daniel Pearl Plotter is MI-6, British Citizen; Now Accused of Musharraf Plot Under the headline of a plot against Musharraf is the "official story" of the accused for the murder of Daniel Pearl. Musharraf's pasted and redacted account, for media consumption, tells that he became a double agent (yes, but for whom ultimately?). Daniel Pearl had gone over there to do some "investigative reporting" and likely got too close to the truth and had to be "eliminated" by the Anglo-American-Israeli powers, the very same ones who formed "the data-base" of a CIA covert operation which is now called "Al Qaeda".

POPSPakistani tribesmen threaten to block US supplies to Afghanistan Elders have withdrawn demand for Pakistani army to withdraw from region and are ready to co-operate against the US. Another accomplishment for President Bush, uniting Pakistan. Who would have thought it possible? Of course the fact that they have nuclear weapons and are uniting in opposition to our attacks is not good news.

POPSOn the US search for Bin Laden and Pakistan Pashtuns suffered heavy casualties in the bombing campaign of 2001. They resent the recent Predator attacks that are resulting in civilian casualties. As a result, the $25 million reward on Osama’s head has failed to elicit cooperation leading to the capture of the Al Qaeda leader.

POPSNow the US is Chasing OBL to His Cave A couple of days old but I haven't been keeping up with what was going on in Pakistan. I'm trusting that this is true. With Musharraf gone and no more attempts to prop him up...time to find the "secret hiding place".

POPSPakiston ruling coalition splits after six months Zardari is the Peoples Party's candidate to replace Musharraf as president. Now that he appears to be the front-runner, the Peoples Party is in no hurry to take away the president's power to dissolve Parliament – another sticking point with Sharif. "Zardari becoming the president would be the most unfortunate event in Pakistan's history," said engineer Raheel Rehman, 27. "A thug is going to be the president of this country," said palm reader Tawakkul Hussain, 35. "We have no options ahead of us. Once again, they are taking turns in power. This is Zardari's turn. After that, it will be Nawaz's turn. He is equally irresponsible and corrupt." The provincial and national assemblies will vote for the president Sept. 6.

POPSPakistani President Musharraf Resigns Amid Impeachment Threats Many Pakistanis blame the rising militant violence in their country on Musharraf's alliance with the U.S. His reputation suffered blows in 2007 when he ousted dozens of judges and imposed emergency rule. His rivals won February parliamentary elections and have since sought his ouster, announcing impeachment plans earlier this month. Musharraf, who has been largely sidelined since his rivals came to power, had resisted the mounting calls to quit, even after the coalition finalized impeachment charges against him and threatened to send a motion to Parliament later this week. Who will ultimately succeed Musharraf is an open question. There has been speculation that both Nawaz Sharif and Asif Ali Zardari, the leaders of the two main parties are interested in the role.

POPS A Bushie biting the dust ! You may ask yourself how can these small countries do it ? Yet Bush still sits ! One reason, "THE PEOPLE" and looking at everyday news of the people (LinkTV/Mosaic) I notice that people from other countries are more involved in politics & what their Gov. does as oppose to the US where it's your favorite news station that cast the vote .

POPSPakistan's Musharraf Facing Impeachment Bush gov't has propped him up and spent millions in tax dollars supporting his regime. This changes everything, which is why Bush (and Obama) have been moving toward blatant intervention within Pakistan militarily.

POPSMusharraf, Loyalists Decide To Fight It Out Later, the governors of Punjab and Sindh met the president to discuss the political situation. Sindh Governor Dr Ishratul Ibad is said to have renewed support for President Musharraf on behalf of the Muttahida Qaumi Movement. The president had decided in the morning not to visit China as a state guest for the Olympics opening ceremonies but he was persuaded by his allies to review the decision. It was decided that he would leave for Beijing on Thursday morning, accompanied by Punjab Governor Salman Taseer. The sources said that the PML-Q leaders had asked the president to defend himself in person in parliament. They also convinced him not to call off his visit to China which was a tested strategic friend of Pakistan. Chaudhry Pervaiz said: “Gen (retd) Musharraf is an elected president who has the credit of holding free and fair elections. He does not deserve this treatment and we will stand by him in case of any effort to oust him.”

POPSFailed States Index 2008 The Best And Worst
Bangladesh took this year’s hardest fall, set off in part by postponed elections, a feuding, deadlocked government, and the imposition of emergency rule that has dragged on for more than 18 months. These political setbacks were followed by greater economic hardships after a devastating cyclone in November flooded large swaths of cropland and left 1.5 million people homeless. In nearby Pakistan, also one of this year’s worst performers, a beleaguered President Pervez Musharraf sparked waves of violent protests when he dismissed the head of the Supreme Court and declared martial law. In a tragic close to the year, the assassination of former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto left many wondering about the future prospects of this fragile, nuclear-armed state. Ironically, Pakistanis constitute the largest national U.N. contingent operating in Liberia. More than 9,000 Bangladeshi troops wear U.N. blue helmets around the world, a third of them in the Ivory Coast.
