Musharraf admits to ISI's link with terrorists

Personally, I think Mush is a liar who says things just to stay in the limelight :slight_smile: but for those who believe Mush’s word to be the gospel truth, how about this latest nugget from the General ??

=======================================================

Musharraf admits to ISI’s link with terrorists

London: General Parvez Musharraf, the former Pakistani president and army chief, has admitted his country’s Inter-Services Intelligence has links with militant leader Sirajuddin Haqqani, who allegedly masterminded the attack on the Indian embassy in Kabul in July 2008.

Musharraf told a German newspaper the ISI had “used Haqqani’s influence” to secure the release of Pakistan’s Afghanistan ambassador, who was kidnapped by Tehrik-e-Taliban chief Baitullah Mehsud.

Haqqani “is the man who has influence over Baitullah Mehsud, a dangerous terrorist, the fiercest commander in South Waziristan and the murderer of Benazir Bhutto, as we know today,” Musharraf said in an interview to Der Spiegel.

“Mehsud kidnapped our Ambassador in Kabul, and our intelligence used Haqqani’s influence to get him released. Now that does not mean that Haqqani is supported by us. The intelligence service is using certain enemies against other enemies. And it is better to tackle them one by one than making them all enemies,” he said.

Musharraf hinted that the ISI had supported Taliban, saying: “intelligence always has access to other networks–that is what Americans did with KGB, that is what ISI also does.”

He accused India’s external intelligence agency Research and Analysis Wing (RAW) of arming and financing rebels in Pakistan’s Balochistan province.

He claimed there were “many Indian extremists who have extremists in Pakistan”. There is “an Indian element” behind the current situation in Pakistan.

Musharraf opposed US President Barack Obama’s Afghanistan policy and said he disliked the term “Af-Pak”.

“I am totally against the term Af Pak. We are not. Afghanistan has no government and the country is completely destabilised. Pakistan is not.”

“Second, and this is much more important, is that there is an Indian element in the whole game. We have the Kashmir struggle, without which extremist elements like Lashkar-e-Taiba would not exist,”.

The former president rejected fears for his country’s stability and was sure Pakistan won’t fall apart as long as the army and the intelligence were “intact and strong”.

Re: Musharraf admits to ISI's link with terrorists

Tell him to say the exact stuff when he is in Pakistan.

The actual message of this post should have been what it is in red.

The title of thread is completely misleading and it is a propaganda as usual.

The word supported was not Musharraf’s words and was added by the reporter after using word of ‘hinted’.

Its another great post which you failed to read before posting.

Thanks for the info.

Re: Musharraf admits to ISI's link with terrorists

^couldnt agree more.

he is a liar, a traitor and you shall see wouldbe the first dictator to be tried and convicted in the court.
more he try to remain alive in media, more it would cause people to remember him .

one cannot end insurgency in NWFP and balochistan without putting him for trial.

This thread is created by someone who hopes that RAW is responsible for killing thousands of people in Pakistan, they sponsor taliban and are good enough to train terrorists who can kill innocent people.
He is such a hypocrite so why should we care about his propaganda??

Re: Musharraf admits to ISI's link with terrorists

While you can smartly slice and dice the news paper report and suggest what they should have reported etc let's not forget the main issue which is - if ISI knew enough and had sufficient influence with the terrorists for this purpose, it certainly is proof positive that GOP is not serious about bringing these terrorists to justice - ISI being part of GOP. This is what a slew of world leaders and officials have been saying including Singh, Brown, Straw, senators and so forth.

Now finally Musharraf as ex-Pak leader is saying it. Hopefully soon curremt Pak leaders will also admit it and take action

You either agree with all of what Mush says or none of it. You cannot selectively pick & choose.

You probably did not read my opening comments -

I do not believe anything Mush says, whether its positive or negative towards India.

The point of this thread was to highlight Mush's doublespeak.

Re: Musharraf admits to ISI's link with terrorists

He also said that India's aiding the Taliban, what do you have to say about that aambandha/punjagi?

Musharraf is a disgraced retarded drunk senile old man and no one cares what he thinks, also this should be in PA.

Re: Musharraf admits to ISI's link with terrorists

^ Re-read posts #1 & #8. I think Musharraf is a liar irrespective of what he says.

As Pakistan's president and as Chief of Armed Forces .... he would have been aware of the connection between ISI and Taliban .... that is why he is dropping hints here .......

As for India's role ..... nothing more then rhetoric ...... has there any shread of evidence shown to support this claim, even when he was leading Pakistan ?

As for Musharaf and his qualities .. will leave it for Pakistani's to worry about :D

as for you two trolls, two options

  • agree with musharraf on both things i.e. isi having links with the bobs and india funding the bobs as well

OR

  • disagree with the above two

dont post any other non nonsensical and absurd babbles...

^ Do you not comprehend English or are you just trying to be a smart ass ?

Read # 1, 8 & 10 again !!

Re: Musharraf admits to ISI’s link with terrorists

India’s whining and Musharraf’s longing to return to power go hand-in-hand. Both are good at it.

:k:

So what about you ... do you agree or disagree with him :D

Look Hillary is admitting it herself, so why can’t Musharraf admit that, afterall he was a good and loyal ally to them on WOT to shed more blood of fellow Pakistanis.

Now you are changing your position again.

The title clearly suggests you were taking his words true and wanted to show somehow that the reporter's views were in line with his position.

Both are wrong positions of yours.

Neither Musharraf said by this report that ISI has a link to terrorists to cause terrorism nor reporter assertion by using word 'hinted' is true.

It merely suggests that like any agencies, according to him ISI used metal to cut metal. Bad guy to influence bad guy to get positive result. Minus multiplied by minus giving positive. What is so wrong with that.

Dealing with kidnapper to free a hostage does not mean agreeing with kidnapper dude. I thought you would know at least this much!!! *Boy I am so wrong there in my assumption about you!
*

Read what I highlighted in red again.

So what was the point of this thread then? Trolling? Flame baiting?

It depends what time of the day he created this thread, it makes a huge difference if you know what i mean.

I think you mean what time of the month it was for our precious Indian princess.
