Is Pakistan not in Stone Age?
(syed musarrat ali, Karachi)
First picture was a Tweet of
Motivation @MOTlVATl0N 1hour earlier which was developing mindset of kids for
September 11, 2001 attacks and the second picture is self explanatory. Pakistani
President Pervez Musharraf, in an interview with CBS News 60 Minutes on
September 21, 2006, alleged that Armitage called an Inter-Services Intelligence
general immediately after the September 11, 2001 attacks and threatened to "bomb
the country [Pakistan] back to the STONE AGE" unless they supported the U.S.-led
fight against Islamic terrorism. Presently, Musharraf has refused to provide
details, commenting that he is unable to provide details due to restrictions by
the publisher (Simon & Schuster) of his book In the Line of Fire: A Memoir.
President Bush on the other hand has mentioned that he only became aware of
these comments as late as September 2006, when he read them in the newspapers.
Armitage confirmed he had held a conversation with the Pakistani general to whom
Musharraf had sourced the comments, but stated he had not used a threat of
military action couched in such terms, as he was not authorized to do so.
As of today where Pakistan stands? It is not only media propaganda that almost
all the basic amenities of life are being dissipated rapidly but the
Government's spokes persons are delivering confessional statements in Print and
Electronic Media. Question arises whether Pervez Musharraf denied to act upon
the warning by Armitage or Pakistan's Democratic Governments after Pervez
Musharraf are following the agenda of US Policies? Answer is Point to Ponder.
