A very shady character ‘Mansoor Ijaz’ wrote in a newspaper, that Ambassador Haqqani asked him to deliver a letter to then Admiral Mike Mullen.

The letter asked for help in stopping the Pak Army from launching a coup against the elected govt.

Now the Pak Army is saying they are ‘outraged’, and the letter was written by Zardari.

No one seriously believes smart political operators like Zardari, or Haqqani would do something so obvious.

It is widely viewed as another Pak Army/ISI attempt to get rid of the govt without full martial law.

This time they are trying to use the memo to kick the govt out through a Supreme Court ruling.

Certainly sounds like a tempest in a teapot. When such circuses happen, the thing to ask is,“What are they trying to distract us from?”
