Pakistani interests are sold for dollars, real estate, or mistresses and alcohol. The greatest contradiction in Zardari governments hypocrasy is tacitly supporting the killing of innocent Pakistanis by drone and CIA hired local assassins. Pakistan and Afghanistan have become stealth bases for not only CIA, but also Mossad. Jewish Americans working in the CIA have dual loyalty and perform dual roles, as part spies on the Pakistan’s nuclear program for Israel and India. Here is an excerpt from an jewish organizers comments:
The Times is reporting that General Ashfaq Parvez Kayani, Pakistan’s military chief, has asked 335 C.I.A. officers and Special Operations forces–including all C.I.A. contractors–to leave the country. Kayani has also called for an end to drone strikes and requested more information about C.I.A. covert operations (U.S. officials have not confirmed the Times report). In interviews with the Times, Pakistani and American officials pointed to Pakistan’s arrest of C.I.A. contractor Raymond Davis–who killed two Pakistanis in January–as the proximate cause for Kayani’s demands. Davis was released in March after the victims’ families received so-called “blood money,” sparking anti-American protests in Pakistan.
But the Times and other news outlets also cite more fundamental reasons for Pakistan’s growing unease with U.S. counterterrorism operations in the country:
- Desire to Protect Nuclear Program: The Pakistani army thinks Washington’s underlying motivation in Pakistan is to dismantle the country’s large nuclear arsenal, a Pakistani official tells the Times.
- Anger Over Drone Strikes: The U.S. has expanded its drone strikes–which are deeply unpopular in Pakistan–as it loses confidence in the Pakistani military’s ability to root out the Taliban and al Qaeda in the country’s tribal areas, the Times explains, and Kayani wants the program to end or be curtailed (Kayani forcefully condemned a drone attack the day after Davis was released that killed tribal leaders with ties to the Pakistani military). As NBC’s Andrea explains on Twitter, “Pakistan sees Raymond Davis case as wedge to get what it’s wanted: fewer drone attacks less CIA presence.”
- Sense That U.S. Is Leaving Pakistan in Dark: A Pakistani official tells the Pakistani newspaper Dawn that the the country’s military and intelligence agency, the I.S.I., were offended when they learned of Raymond Davis’ covert mission in Pakistan. While the U.S. normally informs Pakistan of people like Davis, the official explains, “in this case, and in hundreds of other similar cases, the whole procedure was set aside and we were bypassed.” The U.S. now doesn’t even share intelligence with the Pakistanis about how it chooses its targets for drone strikes, according to the Times. Pakistan also suspects that it’s being excluded from negotiations for an Afghan peace deal, The Gurdian notes.
- Concern about Economic Toll of ‘War on Terror’: In an interview with Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari, The Guardian notes that Pakistani intelligence officials estimate that the U.S. war on terror has cost the Pakistani economy around $68 billion since 2001. The Guardian doesn’t elaborate on how the officials arrived at that figure, but Zardari gives clues, explaining that Pakistan has invested more in security than commerce and that the country is contending with rising fuel prices and the collapse of industry in the tribal areas.
- Response to Pakistani Public Opinion: Many Pakistanis, the BBC’s Syed Shoaib Hasan explains, feel that the U.S. is criticizing Pakistan’s instability “while directly contributing to it with its actions along the Afghan border.”
Some analysts are skeptical, however, about whether Pakistan’s demands will actually result in a reduced C.I.A presence in the country. In response to a tweet about Pakistan asking the U.S. to cut C.I.A activity, The Nation’s Jeremy Scahill wrote, “You mean PK tells US it must sharply reduce the number of times its operatives get caught.” And Kalsoom Lakhani at Changing Up Pakistan doesn’t think the U.S. will stop its drone strikes because of vague Pakistani complaints.
Drones, Davis and Fatigue: Reasons Pakistan Wants the CIA to Leave
The High Price of US War in Afghanistan being Paid by Pakistani lives.

30,000 Pakistani Lives and Counting
Pakistani babies lives are cheap, they are considered collateral damage (an evil term used to hide genocide)
The High Price of US War in Afghanistan being Paid by Pakistani lives.
In 63 years of ties with the US, Pakistan has received the short-end of the stick while nestling in the lap of the United States. Quaid-i-Millat made a great mistake by tying up Pakistan with a selfish nation like the United States. Pakistan had to face many crisis without US help. Pakistan also became a victim of crisis due to its alignment with the US. Recently, the 50th anniversary of pilot Gary Powers U2 flight from the Pakistan air field at Peshawar was remembered. When Gary Powers was shot down over USSR, the relationship between Pakistan and USSR (now Russia and a motherlode of minor republics like Tajikistan) soured, almost forever. Since, that time Russians, have always suspected Pakistan being in cahoots with the US, and most of the times they were correct. If, it had not been for the wisdom of Chairman Mao, Premier Chou En Lai, and the vision of late PM Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto; Pakistan would be extremely vulnerable to the bullying of its belligerent neighbour, India. US has followed this policy for 5 decades, except for times, like the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, when US’s own interest were threatened, the US has shown an altruistic tilt toward Pakistan.
Pakistan’s relationship with the US has evolved into a co-dependency- leading to a toxic relationship. This has happened at the expense of bartering of Pakistan’s sovereignty and independence defacto. However, this was not long before the Abbotabad incident, which put this situation into perpective and gave Pakistani people a rude awakening . Pakistan has also suffered economically, politically, socially, and militarily due this malignant symbiosis. US has become a “soodkhor,” loan-shark. which turns the screws on Pakistan’s economy whenever, it wants Pakistan to do its bidding. This situation has been exacerbated by the weak and usurper government run by a former “Bambino Cinema blackiya,” a.k.a. Zardari and verbally challenged Gadhi Peer, a.ka. Gilani from Multan. In order to hang on to power, both these individuals have sold their souls to the devil, named Uncle Sam, who thrives on picking fights and inciting conflicts, whether in Europe, S.America, Afghanistan, Iraq, and now Pakistan.
Pakistani people have wised up to US shananigans, Raymond Davis and his 3000 sleeper cohorts in various cities of Pakistan to bribing of poor Pakistani to act as saboteurs against their own motherland, Pakistan is being destabilized by this two headed hydra, masquesrading as a friend.
Latest act duplicity is to nominate a Jew, Marc Grossman, as an arbiter between Indian and Pakistan. Well, Pakistan will most likely end up as a loser, with this so-called inbiased arbiter.
THE PRICE PAKISTAN HAS PAID FOR US WAR IN AFGHANISTAN
30,000 Dead Civilian, 3,000 Dead Soldiers. All killed by Taliban, and American still suspects that ISI or Pakistan government patronizes Taliban
Hardly a day passes without news of a new missile attack by American drones on the tribal areas of north-west Pakistan. As these attacks are carried out by the CIA, no official figures are available, but the local press recorded 69 such attacks in 2009. Across the border in Afghanistan, the United States mounted 219 drone attacks in 2009, according to official U.S. Air Force statistics.
The two theatres of war are intimately linked. The drone attacks on Pakistan

It Begins: US Starting the Baluchi Insurrection
Pakistan’s and it’s Nuclear Program in NeoCon’s Crosshairs
Posted by Dr. Manzer Durrani in Defense on May 17th, 2011
Anti-Pakistan Stealth Zionists flourish in US Think Tank and direct Neocon ideology in Policy Forum like Brookings Institute and conservative Think Tanks like the Heritage Foundation. Israeli sympathizers are rampant in Washington. Even though, Pakistan and Pakistanis stay away from maligning Israel and its causes, Israel follows a policy of deliberate agent provocateur. They combine forces with expatriate Indians to demonize Pakistan. Most Indians have NOT accepted the existence of Pakistan. On a global basis, Indians are imbued with Chanakiya’s doctrines and hegemonious behavior; to them Pakistan is an aberration or an anathema. In this quest, they propagandize against Pakistan. In this campaign may Pakistanis also participate, including the disgruntled, reject of Pakistan’s nuclear program Pervez Hoodbhoy. Among the neocons, the most virulent are Selig Harrison, Robert Kagan and Richard Haass. They are darlings of AIPAC and pro-State of Israel. These people are also the cohorts of the Indian lobby in Washington. They generate enormous amount of anti-Pakistan propaganda which is picked up by Newspapers like the New York Times and the Washington Post, whose bylines are carried by all major newspapers in the US. Times, New Yorker, and Newsweek fully complete the Anti-Pakistan Propaganda Triad: Think Tanks-Media-Newspapers. Pakistani expatriate, with few exception, never counter such propaganda. They silently watch their Motherland being “bashed,” 24/7, by the Zionist elements in the United States. The real enemies of Pakistan have come out of their hell-holes and are begining to be exposed by the media. The Stealth Enemies of Pakistan are nutured in the United States, they owe loyalty to Israel. They act as sacred cows. Criticize them and be ready to be labeled as “Anti-Semitic,” and suffer the kiss of unwritten blacklist, stored in the vaults of zionist minds, who control the free thought and speech in the West. Neocons and AIPAC significantly influence US Middle East and South Asia Policy. But, Pakistan’s biggest detractors are its current corrupt government, led by the high school graduate crook Zardari. His best pal Hussain Haqqani, was part of the talking head circle of neocons, now, he represents the nation which he frequently used to bad mouth.
WHO IS MORE DANGEROUS TO PAKISTAN? PAKISTANI OR AMERICAN NEOCONS
Here are excerpts of Hussani Haqqani, a Pakistani neocon’s statements;”In the foreseeable future, Islam will remain a significant factor in Pakistan’s politics. Musharraf and his likely successors from the ranks of the military, promising reform, will continue to seek U.S. economic and military assistance; yet the power of such promises is tempered by the strong links between Pakistan’s military-intelligence and apparatus and extremist Islamists.”
More from Pak Ambassador from Hell:
“Pakistan’s relations with the United States have been part of the Pakistani military’s policy tripod that emphasizes Islam as a national unifier, rivalry with India as the principal objective of the state’s foreign policy, and an alliance with the United States as a means to defray the costs of Pakistan’s massive military expenditures. These policy precepts have served to encourage extremist Islamism, which in the past few years has been the source of threats to both U.S. interests and global security. The United States can perhaps deal best with Pakistan in the long term by using its influence to reshape the Pakistani military’s view of the national interest.”
More from Zardari’s Protege: How can Pakistan challenge American accusations, when our own Ambassador, talks against the interest of Pakistan in Washington!
“Washington must not ignore Pakistan’s state sponsorship of Islamist militants, its pursuit of nuclear weapons and missiles at the expense of education and health care, and its refusal to democratize; each of these issues is directly linked to the future of Islamic radicalism.”

Phil, what dual loyalty? As a modern orthodox Jew, I can tell you that most of my fellow orthodox’s primary loyalty is to the State of Israel. I can give you examples of shuls where the prayer for the welfare of the US government is mumbled quickly by the guy leading the service, if it is said at all, whereas the prayer for the State of Israel is said in unison and while standing. Such is the practice at many orthodox services at Hillels on campuses.
I daresay that more American orthodox Jews who are not citizens of Israel have served in the Israeli army than in the US army.
Oh, if they only had dual loyalty!
