Politicians dont want Americans or their dollars to go away?
Pakistani politicians don’t want Americans to go away: Munter
WASHINGTON: **US Ambassador Cameron Munter has said that Pakistani politicians don’t want Americans to go away from their country.
During his lecture at Harvard Kennedy School, Munter said that the relationship between CIA and ISI were still intact.
“The CIA-ISI relationship is still cooperative,” Munter said. “The Pakistani government realizes that we have a lot in common on counter-terrorism and we still have a decent relationship with the intelligence.”
****But this may change when DG ISI Lt. Gen. Ahmad Shuja Pasha, announces his retirement, Munter added. **[Does he mean Pasha is an American stooge?]
US ambassador said when military aid was limited because of the incident he told Kayani when trainers would leave Pakistan, equipment would also go with them.
** Deep down, he said, Pakistani politicians do not want Americans to go away. **:halo:

In Pakistan the concept of free and fair is rather muddled. After all people vote on what the feudal land lord says or what the local Wadera wants. Votes are regularly bought and sold. It would be interesting to have international observers during the elections and see what they have to say.

When we talk about 'elected official' and say they represent nation's will/sentiment whenever they make a decision, we need to take into the account the fact that during elections relationship with US was not a major factor on deciding who to vote for. Country/nation is paying the price because of the silent majority who opposes such relationship with US.

Under the garb of democracy, some professionals get the licence of 'elected representative' and make use of this licence to do and get away with just about anything.
