Chamberlin backs Musharraf’s stance against US action
Tuesday, January 15, 2008

WASHINGTON: President Pervez Musharraf has always been very clear that US troops cannot operate unilaterally on Pakistan’s soil, instead calling for coordinated efforts, former United States ambassador to Pakistan Wendy Chamberlin said.

Chamberlin, who served as the US ambassador during 2001-02, told Fox News that when Pakistan had joined the international coalition after the 9/11 terrorist attacks, President Musharraf had expressly stated that US troops could not operate unilaterally on the Pakistani side of the border.

The present head of a Washington-based think tank, The Middle East Institute, was commenting on Musharraf’s strong opposition to the notion of unilateral US action against any terrorists who may be hiding in Pakistan.

Asked if Musharraf’s stance would hurt US efforts if it had actionable intelligence on the whereabouts of Al Qaeda leaders and if it were on the cusp of getting them, she replied, “It would not.”

She backed up her argument by citing Pakistan’s successful counter-terrorism actions over the years. app

Interesting. I thought Pakistan had no choice when it joined the War on Terror but this Ambassador says otherwise.

abhi tou aur bohat ayeingay 'THAPKI' dene.

Remember how it all started in 1962 against Bengali brothers. It was kind of different kind of scam. First created artificial problems, turn them into protest, military action, complete chaos and finally racism and brutality at its best. Our men in Uniform will never learn a penny from their masters. Each time the master tackle it with new trick.

Now in 2000s, its like, Oh we are under attack, will you be on our side?, you need to go about 180 degree as we did on our 80s policy in the region, we know its hard but try or 666, us= ji hazoor jo hukum, them=good that you are helping us in war on terror but just don't kill the chicken, spare Osama and some jihadiz so we can keep the world affraid of them, then - you are not doing enough, sir- we are, no you are not, and hey you are not restoring democracy, and these judges, do as we say, hold on....well... finish them, they are not good for us as well, hey this BB coming, here comes NS, you are under pressure, NRO=OK fine- you don't have any shame left anyways, Emergency....no no, OK.... well .....fine, we need it too, make sure judges never come back, but save KSE at any cost, we have stakeholders friends, send our man Aziz back, deal with BB, BB dead, oh you killed our spade, now crises, you can't handle that, you are such a loser, you played double game from the beginning, you are jihadi from inside, you don't let us do another C-130 like that one-eyed general of 80s, you are in big trouble man, you will die soon either by us or your fellow jihadiz, mush in public trying emerge as winner= no one dares to cross our border, we will fight back, beta your days are numbered, country is in complete chaos and we are soon to play our wild card. Keep watching. We did that in 51, 58, 65, 71, 77, 79, 88-99 and we will do it again. It might be your table but we hold the aces. When you reach your precedesor generals soon, ask them.
